Previous winners on the honor include major leaguers Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor and Joe Mauer.
From the BGA Premium look at Dartmouth's full recruiting class:
Corner Danny McManus, 5-9, 175, St. Thomas Academy, Minn.
The last of three brothers to play at Dartmouth following All-Ivy League receivers Timmy ’11 and Ryan ’15. Like Timmy and Ryan, he is a shifty jack-of-all trades on offense although he will begin his collegiate career on the other side of the ball. Finished his senior year with 97 tackles (16 for loss), four interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Also had 373 yards and four touchdowns rushing along with 131 yards and two touchdowns receiving. He was chosen the Pioneer Press high school player of the year.
(Coach Buddy) Teevens: “That’s an award neither Tim nor Ryan won. He’s into the weights much the same as Ryan. ... He’s the most developed of the McManus brothers coming in. He’s growing and physically developing but he’s a typical McManus. He’s very, very athletic, was successful as a quarterback and even punted a little bit so he can play a variety of positions. We see him as a cover guy but he also has punt return and kickoff return capabilities.”

The New Haven Register takes a look at the official Yale recruiting class. Notable in the class are a couple of players on either side of the line. From the Register:This year’s class is highlighted by 6-foot-3, 235-pound outside linebacker Victor Egu. He is a huge land for the Bulldogs. Egu comes from a strong program in De La Salle (Calif.) and had offers from major programs like Notre Dame, Oregon and California. Egu originally committed to California, but changed his mind and chose Yale.
“He’s the most decorated coming in as far as offers,” (Yale coach Tony) Reno said. “He could be a real good player. He brings the size and speed to our edge, an outside linebacker that we were looking for.”And . . .
. . . Morgan Roberts will likely come in and compete with Eric Williams and Henry Furman for the Bulldogs starting quarterback spot. Roberts (6-3, 210 pounds) was a red-shirt freshman last season at Clemson. He played in two games and completed 2-of-3 passes for 20 yards. Reno recruited Roberts while coaching at Harvard. Roberts will be a sophomore.

Princeton Football offers an overview of the Tigers' incoming "speed and kicking" recruits starting with a look at quarterback Chad Kanoff, who backed off a commitment to go to Vanderbilt in favor of attending Princeton. Apparently Ivy League's policy of not recognizing (or using) the National Letter of Intent made his switch possible. From the LA Times:
Kanoff had been committed to Vanderbilt since last May and he signed with Vanderbilt in February.
