Reid Englert brings senior-sized Ivy League depth to Columbia’s defensive front
In the 2026 context, Reid Englert is a 6-foot-3, 265-pound senior defensive lineman for Columbia who has been a steady developmental piece rather than a headline stat monster, appearing in two games in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons and giving the Lions experience, size, and interior toughness. Columbia’s roster lists him as a senior from Ridgefield, Conn., majoring in economics, and his profile suggests a reliable, practice-savvy lineman who’s built for physical trench work and rotational value—exactly the kind of player coaches like when they need discipline, depth, and no-drama effort.
