Columbia’s 6-4 boundary target: Jack Ertz brings size, seniority, and a comeback arc
Jack Ertz is a senior Columbia wideout in the 2026 season who offers a pro-style frame at 6-4 and 225 pounds, plus real game experience from appearing in all 10 games with three starts in the 2021 season. The biggest differentiator is his physical profile and maturity: he can play above the rim, work the middle, and give a quarterback a trustworthy contested-catch option. He also missed the 2022 season due to injury, so durability and re-establishing rhythm matter, but if he’s healthy, he looks like a smart fit for a team needing length, experience, and a reliable possession receiver.
