Super Seniors

First a couple of "Super Senior" videos. One I should have posted during the winter and one I can't recall if I posted.

Longtime followers of Dartmouth football surely remember Tony Adams, the amiable retired sports anchor at WCAX TV in Burlington. Tony, who I had a chance to visit with in the press box at a Dartmouth game last fall, was the subject of one of his former station's Super Senior features in December. I meant to share this back then but forgot until getting an email link a couple of days ago.

Here's the video and story about Tony, now 92, who has long been a friend both of Dartmouth football and your editor.

And then there's the highlight reel for Dartmouth senior Jack Heneghan, which I may have posted earlier.

Athlon Sports has a piece about the top returning FCS receivers. (LINK) No. 6 is Princeton's 6-foot-4, 215-pound Jesper Horsted. Here's what the story has to say about him:

Horsted's tantalizing size commands attention the way he grabs passes. As a junior, he set Princeton single-season records for receptions (92) and touchdown receptions (14), and had its No. 2 mark in receiving yards (1,226). He caught two touchdowns in six different games.

Athlon also has two more Ivy Leaguers in its More Wide Receivers to Watch:
Stephen Carlson, Princeton, Sr.
Juston Christian, Marist, Sr.
Nehari Crawford, Duquesne, Sr.
Mitch Gueller, Idaho State, Jr.
Damion Jeanpiere, Nicholls, Sr.
Andre Lindsey, Sacramento State, Sr.
Cortrelle Simpson, Richmond, Jr.
Riley Stapleton, James Madison, R-Jr.
Justin Sumpter, Kennesaw State, Sr.
Josh Wainwright, Columbia, Jr.

Green Alert Take: Dartmouth's Hunter Hagdorn wouldn't look out of place on that list.
