In his second year as a starter last fall the 6-foot-4, 305-pound Texan made the All-Ivy League first team for helping Dartmouth lead the Ivy League with 2,193 yards on the ground, and to pile up 4,249 yards of total offense, second-most in school history.
Named to the USA College Football preseason second team from Dartmouth were defensive lineman Evan Chrustic and defensive back Stephen Dazzo. Defensive lineman Cody Fulleton and defensive back Vernon Harris were chosen third team and wide receiver Bo Patterson and quarterback Dalyn Williams were honorable mention as the website did a good job of following the 2013 All-Ivy team.
All totaled, 32 Ivy Leaguers were included on the first, second, third and honorable-mention teams.
Unfortunately, the USA College Football preseason team got names wrong (Penn's Kyle Wilcox is listed as Mike), Central Connecticut tailback Rob Holloman is listed on both the first and second team, Sacred Heart's Troy Moore is first-team defensive line where he is joined by his fictitious alter-ego Tony Moore. According to message board postings, players who have left school also show up on the list.

Dartmouth's game at Columbia is now listed as a 1:30 kickoff on the Columbia site. While a noon start might have been better for those of us hoping to make a down-and-back trip of it, the tee time does help fill in what had been one of the two remaining time gaps on the Big Green schedule. All that remains is the UNH game, which I'm still thinking has a very good chance of being at night given that the school is installing lights. (LINK)Dartmouth 2014 Game Times
