The Dartmouth has a one-on-one with quarterback Dalyn Williams. Among other things he had this to say about his decision not to do the football-baseball double:
I did want to play baseball, but I changed my mind because I have aspirations of going pro in football. I wanted to improve on all the aspects of being a true quarterback, and that takes time. It was a hard decision because baseball was my first love, but now football has my heart, mind and soul. Because of this, I will not play baseball over the summer. It is in my past.

Remember, spring practice starts tomorrow and there will be full coverage each day on Green Alert Premium ;-)

And finally . . .
Among the pleasures of doing BGA is the chance not just to get to know Dartmouth football players, but also their parents. Because it would be hard to thank you all personally, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Dartmouth Football Family for your kindness, your friendship, your appreciation of the challenges of doing BGA, and for your generosity. You make it easier to keep going when the nights are long and the season is late. Thank you.
