Menlo-Atherton quarterback Xander Eschelman (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) has verbally committed to Columbia after picking up an offer at the end of June.
He has a wide open playing style that leads to big plays. He is a good athlete in getting out the perimeter and maintaining his arm strength on the move. While on the move, he can put the defense in a bind as a running threat (when needed), but also has a quick release to hit receivers over the middle. His best pass is floating the ball over defenders on deep balls.
As a junior appearing in seven games, he completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,107 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions.
