Cole Marcoux, a 6-foot-5, 234-pound quarterback from the Fieldston School in New York City and one of eight QBs in the reality TV show The Ride, has committed to Dartmouth according to this story in the Riverdale Press.

Marcoux wasn't originally slated to be on the show about "under the radar" high school quarterbacks, but as the story says:

... Tom Martinez — one of the show’s instructors and the personal mentor of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady — suggested that Marcoux be added to the show after noticing his size, strength and cannon of an arm. Almost immediately, the decision was made to expand the size of the group just to include Marcoux.

Also from the story:

The show features various drills and quarterback-skill competitions that are judged in a gradual-elimination format. The last two finalists will be sent to the Aloha Prep Bowl in Hawaii, where one will be chosen the winner and have the chance to play in high school football’s biggest showcase — the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January.

Two of the 10 episodes have already been aired, but no eliminations have taken place yet. The next new showing is scheduled for today, Thursday, Nov. 19, at 11 p.m.
