Sorting Out Positions

Another day, another "sort" of the Ivy League combined football recruiting class, this time to see what positions are most in demand. Here's how many recruits were announced by position in the Class of 2014. (Where two positions were listed, the first was used for this exercise.):

28 Wide Receivers
21 Running Backs
16 Tight Ends
13 Quarterbacks
4 Fullbacks/H-Backs

DEFENSE
32 Defensive Backs
27 Linebackers
20 Interior Line
9 Defensive Ends

SPECIAL TEAMS
3 Punters
3 Kicker/Punters
2 Kickers
2 Long Snappers

(Also: 2 "Athletes")

Curious about Dartmouth's opening-day foe next fall? In addition to the Bucknell football website, there's a Wikipedia page on the Bison program. Find it here.

Stumbling across that, of course, got me checking on other Wikipedia football pages of interest. There are football sections in the athletic or university entries for virtually all schools. But only the following schools have dedicated football pages:
Dartmouth
Cornell
Princeton
Holy Cross

Colgate

I'd be curious to know who pulled together the Dartmouth page. It wasn't me ;-)

And finally, the blog will be quiet for the next couple of days as I head on the road with That Certain Senior's aunt from Texas. She's flying in for graduation and very much wants to get a look at a certain college in upstate New York. So I'm closing the laptop while we zip over to Hamilton, N.Y., tonight and then zip back tomorrow in time to catch – weather permitting – the Granite State Games softball doubleheader at Plymouth State in which you-know-who will be playing.
