Yalie Set For Dartmouth Staff

Portal 31, the Yale football blog, is reporting that former Yale player and assistant Kyle Metzler '02 will be joining the coaching staff at Dartmouth. Metzler served as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator at Yale the past two years according to his Yale bio.

Metzler was twice named All-Ivy and started four years at guard for Yale.

Princeton's TigerCast podcast has an interview with Chuck Dibilio, the rare 1,000-yard Ivy League rusher as a freshman who suffered a stroke in January. Dibilio, who is spending the spring semester at home doing rehab, said that while he's not sprinting, he can jog and do "ladder drills," and light lifting. He reports that his reading and writing capabilities are nearly normal.

Dibilio said he would like to return to football as soon as this fall if he is medically cleared to do so. It had been previously reported that doctors think the stroke is related to the spleen infection he suffered in high school and Dibilio said figuring out the cause of the stroke could be a determining factor in whether he can play again.
