Columbia Lions' Tall, Accomplished Guard with Proven Leadership Pedigree
Ara Talkov, a 6'0" Massachusetts native guard who joined the Columbia Lions as a heralded first-year in the 2013-14 season after earning state finalist honors for the Wendy's High School Heisman for her elite academics, athletics, and community service, stands out with her versatile size, four-year varsity experience at Swampscott High, and mentor-like intensity—shaped by her accomplished mother. Her differentiators include rare guard height for rebounding and playmaking, plus Wall Street poise that screams leadership; a low-risk, high-upside fit for teams seeking smart, driven players who elevate teammates beyond the stat sheet.
