Spring Football & The Full Recruiting Class

Dartmouth will kick off its final spring football practice at 10 today with the modern version of the Green & White Game. Barring a change of heart or a few plays at the end, there won't be any tackling with the officials instead using their whistles to blow plays dead and keep players healthy for the fall when the games count. Call it football lite. The spring award winners and new captains will be announced at some point during the festivities.

There will be full coverage tonight on Big Green Alert Premium.
From a Dartmouth release:
The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced the members of the 2013 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, and Dartmouth had four of its student-athletes selected for inclusion — defensive lineman Mick Davis, tight end Justin Foley, offensive lineman Patrick Lahey and linebacker Garrett Wymore. 
The honor society is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college career.
Here's the incoming Dartmouth recruiting class along with six players who are interested in walking on. (Full bios of each player, including the walk-ons, have been posted on Green Alert Premium.)
