Yet Another

A Nov. 28 story in The Woodlands Villager in Texas reports that 6-foot-1, 175-pound wide receiver Houston Brown. . .
 ". . . committed to Dartmouth a few weeks ago after a convincing summer visit. Houston said playing college ball was a goal since he was a child, but academics were important, as he hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps as an engineer."
If the math is correct, Brown caught 46 passes for 765 yards and nine touchdowns this fall for The Woodlands, which finished 8-4. He averaged 16.7 yards per catch with a long TD of 73 yards. He was a member of the All-District first team and the All-District Academic team.

Dartmouth and Yale are in the running for Michael Carlson, a 6-2, 215 safety from Bellevue, Wash., according to Northwest Prep Report. He also has offers from Montana, Montana State and Portland State according to Scout.com and ESPN.

No word yet on where he'll be going to school but kicker Wyatt Schmidt, brother of four-year Dartmouth kicker Foley Schmidt '12, has been named not only to the Minnesota all-state first team, but as the winner of the 2012 Herbalife 24 Chris Sailer Award as the national kicker of the year. He tied the Minnesota State record in September with four field goals in a game.

A 6-foot-3, 210 linebacker as well as a kicker, Schmidt is also a talented ice hockey player who has drawn interest from several Ivies for his play on the ice.
