So, the defense last fall featured eight senior starters, all of whom entered the portal as potential grad transfers. The good news for Dartmouth fans is all 11 players on the second line of the depth chart return.
There's been no clarification if any seniors might have had a potential medical redshirt but we do know that Ejeke Adele is grad transferring to Rice, Josiah Green to Duke, Jordan Washington to Stanford, Braden Mullen to Charlotte and Derrell Porter to UC Davis. Micah Green has Xweeted offers from Butler and Marist, while Danny Cronin and Zach Farris also entered the portal per their social media.

EXTRA POINT
I grabbed a bunch of quarters and took Mrs. BGA's new ride to the car wash yesterday. Think maybe the time has come for my car to get a little spa treatment as well?
It is, but here's the deal about living on a dirt road. It will look pretty much like this once the snow is cleared and I make two or three trips to the post office and my hiking trail. At least in the summer I can hose it down every so often!
