Big Green Adds Another Linebacker

Add Ryan Hrabak, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound linebacker from Carmel Catholic in Mundelein, Ill., to the list of incoming players. Hrabak was an honorable-mention picked by the Daily Herald in his first year as a linebacker, posting 67 tackles and two interceptions through the Corsairs' first 11 games.

According to this story, Hrbak played running back as a freshman and was in the secondary for the past two years before moving to linebacker.

Hrbak joins high school classmate Tom Patek, a 6-3, 205 linebacker, in Dartmouth's Class of 2013.

Kevin Demoff '99, has been hired as the St. Louis Rams' executive president of football operations and chief operating officer.

At Dartmouth Demoff wrote for the school newspaper and did color commentary for Big Green football radio broadcasts. It was Demoff, when he was general manager of the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League, who helped former Dartmouth quarterback Brian Mann '02 get his pro football career started.

An ABC News video shares the story of Milton '04 and Fred Ochieng '05, former Dartmouth soccer players who never forgot where they came from. Perhaps the splash page for the film Sons of Lwala summarizes their dramatic story best ...

"Milton and Fred Ochieng are two brothers from Kenya whose village sent them to America to become doctors. But after losing both parents to AIDS they are left with a heartbreaking task: to return home and finish the health clinic their father started before getting sick. Unable to raise enough money on their own, the brothers are joined by students, politicians, and a rock band who launch a fund raising drive among young people across the United States. Sons of Lwala follows Milton and Fred on their incredible journey as they find a way, despite all odds, to open their village’s first hospital."
