Gehrig had to sit out the 1921 football season at Columbia as a suspension for playing some semi-professional baseball in Hartford the preceding summer under an assumed name ("Lou Lewis" I believe). I do think he played in 1922.

If you include Koufax, who attended night classes in Architecture at Columbia during his Rookie season, and actually went to class right after the Dodgers' game 7 when they finally won a World Series, then Columbia can claim 4 HOFers.
