It's Academic

It's academics day for BGA Daily.

From Dartmouth sports information:
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced the members of its Google Cloud Academic All-America teams for Division I today (combined for FBS and FCS schools), and Dartmouth linebacker David Emanuels earned a spot on the second team. He is the 19th Big Green football Academic All-America selection in program history and first since linebacker Michael Runger made the second team five years ago.
Emanuels has a 3.96 GPA as a biomedical engineering major. He made a career-high 11 tackles in the penultimate game of his college career at Cornell.

For their final project in Astro 1, holder/kicker Jack Katzman, defensive lineman David Chalmers, offensive lineman Matt Kaskey and linebacker Harrison Farmer teamed up to do "A Newscast on the Sun." Check it out in the video below.


And another academic note . . .

Dartmouth is in the running for a dual-threat quarterback from New Jersey with a 4.37 GPA. From a Northjersey.com story: (LINK)
Earlier this week, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens paid a visit to the Milko residence and offered Milko on the spot.

This academic one is fun one for me ;-)

Graduating Penn State linebacker Frank Di Leo, brother of Dartmouth fifth-year defensive line standout Rocco Di Leo and Big Green freshman Luca Di Leo, was presented with the PSU Football Letterman's Club Joe and Sue Paterno Post-Graduate Scholarship, a $5,000 Scholarship to a senior to provide recognition and financial assistance for graduate school, for his work in the classroom.
On Monday Night Football last night sons of former Dartmouth football players squared off against each other. Seahawks' quarterback Russell Wilson is the son of Harry '77 and Vikings offensive lineman Brian O'Neill's father is Brendan '72. When was the last time sons of former Big Green players faced each other on Monday night? Your guess is as good as mine.
