Not A Surprise

Not surprisingly after he led the nation in interceptions last fall, Dartmouth senior-to-be Isiah Swann is being named to preseason All-America teams.

After being chosen last week by Hero Sports, Swann now has been named to the first team by Athlon.  (LINK)

No other Ivy Leaguer was named with the only other player on the list Dartmouth will see this fall being Colgate offensive lineman Nick Wheeler.
From former Dartmouth linebacker Flo Orimolade's Twitter feed after his injury in the Calgary Stampeders' first preseason game:
"Successful Surgery... CFL Year 2 isn’t finished yet... I’ll be back... Minor Setback For Major Comeback"
STATS has a listing of what it calls the 10 Best Nonconference games of 2019 in the FCS. Not on the list but perhaps deserving of consideration:

Dartmouth-Colgate
Yale-Richmond
Penn-Delaware

A few other games, uh, wouldn't have made the first cut:
Cornell-Marist
Columbia-St. Francis
Princeton-Butler
Harvard-Howard
Dartmouth-Jacksonville
