Draft Details

For the second year in a row Dartmouth has had two players sign free agent contracts after the NFL draft – Flo Orimolade with the Rams and Charlie Miller with the Jaguars. Find the story HERE.
Orimolade gets a mention in Washington Post notes about how "All-Mets alumni did in the NFL Draft." Included in the notes was Cornell punter Chris Fraser being invited to the Bear and 49er rookie camps.

Ivy League signings in addition to Dartmouth's Orimolade and Miller include Harvard offensive lineman Max Rich (Patriots) and Crimson tight end Anthony Firkser (Jets) as well as Penn quarterback Alek Torgersen (Falcons). In addition to Cornell's Fraser earning a camp invitation, Columbia offensive lineman Kendall Pace has been invited to the Steelers' minicamp.
