Heading This Way

Because there Ivy League does not use the Letter of Intent "Signing Day" (this early version or the February edition) is just another day in Ivyworld.

That said, with early decision admissions having gone out for the Ivies here is the Big Green's Early Decision Class:

DL John High, 6-0, 270, Bergen Catholic/Montvale, N.J.
QB Nick Howard, 6-2, 220, Southwest/Green Bay, Wis.
TE Jordan Kirkbride, 6-6, 230, Bishop Hartley/Bexley, Ohio
DB Sam Koscho, 5-9, 169, Cardinal Mooney/Sarasota, Fla.
DL Charles Looes, 6-2, 255, Pascack Valley/Hillsdale, N.J.
OL James McCarthy, 6-4, 270, Choate Rosemary Hall/West Haven, Conn.
OL Adam Will, 6-5, 309, Loyola Blakefield/Reisterstown, Md.
Dartmouth apparently was in the running for one of the all-first name players in this year's class but SirVocea Dennis of New York's Christian Brothers Academy and Peddie School is going elsewhere. From a Syracuse.com story:
Dennis, who earned Class AA all-state honors in 2016 and 2017 despite his senior-year injury, said he was leaning towards Dartmouth before visiting Colorado Springs.
Colgate, which will play at Dartmouth next fall, signed 13 players (LINK) and old friend Holy Cross a dozen. (LINK)

Green Alert Take: Colgate signed an offensive lineman I had been watching for a long time as a Dartmouth "lean." It's no secret that Patriot League scholarships haven't helped the Ivy's former sister conference, but is it only a matter of time?
All-America season continues with Dartmouth corner Isiah Swann being named to the HERO first team. Princeton wideout Jesper Horsted and DB T.J. Floyd were chosen third team. (LINK)
