A QB Still Looking At Dartmouth

If you've been following the blog, you know about early decision football players admitted to Dartmouth. A brief mention in a Ventura County Star story reveals the name of someone who applied early to Dartmouth but will have to wait until the regular admission process to find out if he gets in.

Kyle Triplett, a 5-11, 180-pound quarterback from Thousand Oaks High School in California was not admitted early decision. (There's no indication if he was considered a recruit.) The story says he has applied for regular admission to nearly a dozen schools, Dartmouth included.

Here's where it gets interesting: Triplett is a client of Student-Athlete Showcase, the service started by former Dartmouth and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Zack Walz. To get a look at Triplett's SAS scouting page, click here. There's also video of him on the Be Recruited site.

A couple of former Harvard players are in the news as the NFL regular season winds down and teams consider emptying their benches. The Sun-Sentinel has a piece about Cincinnati Bengal QB Ryan Fitzpatrick perhaps getting a few snaps in the finale against the Miami Dolphins.

Expected to see significant action for the Indianapolis Colts is tailback Clifton Dawson. As a regular reader pointed out yesterday, Dawson scored his first NFL touchdown last week. There's a note about that here.
