Local Kid Makes Good?
A Palo Alto news Web site has a new article on local athletes in Ivy football, including Leon Ivery. The piece speculates that the sophomore from the Menlo School may see more playing time this season.

Looks like we have gotten bigger, in virtually all areas. We'll look forward to Saturday.

For one, the linebackers are much bigger than last year. Gross, Morreto, Holloway, Hodges and Koury are just some of the returning players who have bulked up considerably while several of the newcomers -- Mistretta, Claunch, Cornish and Rvan Miller-- have very good size. Linebackers make most of the tackles on defense so size is important particularly against the run. Also, the defensive linemen are much bigger than last year. Go Lions!!

Hey Jake,

I never thought I'd see a bigger Columbia football nut than myself, but now I'm convinced -- you da man!

The weight changes you listed appear accurate except for Derek Lipscomb, who should be a plus rather than a minus. I think one of the most significant changes is the 24 pound gain for Eli Waltz, who will probably start on the DL.
Stotler is another big gainer, and may be 2nd team DE. Jordan Davis also should be even stronger at 209, and as has been pointed out there are plenty of others, including Veldman, up to 270 from 250 and possibly a starter at guard along with Seiler, who becomes the heaviest starting O-lineman at 290.

Assuming Quinn and Gross will start at outside linebacker, anybody want to guess who will start in the middle? I would say it could be Moretto, Cameron, Koury or Holloway. Moretto earned his stripes as a frosh and has gotten bigger, and Koury looked terrific last year before he was injured. Of course they might put Quinn in the middle and one of the others outside. in any case, lots of quality depth at linebacker, especially with the talented first years. As you say, game is shaping up as a real good one and I'd say the start of a new era in CU football.

You are right about Lipscomb, thanks!
