Columbia’s Chris Allison brings a prototype frame and young-QB upside
Chris Allison is a 6-foot-3, 204-pound sophomore QB for Columbia in the 2026 season, a build that gives him the kind of size and durability teams love in a developmental passer.[1] The challenge: public stat-tracking and scouting coverage on his current on-field output is limited, so the clean read is that he profiles more as a projectable depth/competition piece than a proven stat leader right now.[1][5][9] If you want a quarterback with physical upside and room to grow, he’s interesting; if you need an immediate, established production engine, this is more of a long-game swing.[1][9]
