One New, One Confirmed, One Out

Twitter breaks the news of a new recruit headed this way and confirms another who had sounded as if he were coming, while the Casper Star Tribune delivers the news of the one who got away.

The new name is Nigel Alexander, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound (or 6-1, 220 or even 5-11 depending on which service you believe) linebacker from Dr. Phillips High School and Orlando, Fla. Find his Twitter announcement HERE.

His Hudl highlight video lists him with 94 tackles including eight sacks and 20 tackles for loss overall. He also had two pass breakups and one blocked kick.
Bits and pieces on Twitter had suggested that Seth Simmer, a 6-4, 250-pound defensive lineman/tight end from Harrison High School and Kennesaw, Ga., was Dartmouth-bound and now he's made it official HERE.

Simmer was chosen by the coaches to the all-region team 4-AAAAAA first team both as a defensive end and as a tight end. (LINK).
Various news and notes had connected 6-2, 220 running back Theo Dawson of Jackson, Wyo., with Dartmouth, and following his progress from afar he looked like an exciting prospect.

While northern New England seems like a pretty good fit for a kid from the Rockies, it turns out he decided home state Wyoming is the best fit and that's where he'll be headed after a two-year LDS mission. Dawson ran for a state-record 489 yards and five touchdowns in the state quarterfinals this year and 2,440 yards and 29 touchdowns overall. Find a story about the big back and his commitment HERE.
