Chasing Another Title

Dressed up this graphic from OptaAnalystFCS so you would be sure to notice why it’s here:

In case you are wondering, Dartmouth will be bidding for its fifth Ivy League title in six seasons this fall. The Big Green earned rings in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024. The Ivies did not play in 2020 because of COVID.

As part of its ongoing NFL Draft Prospect Interview series, the NFL Draft Diamonds site has posted Q&A's with current Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo, and corner Jordan Washington, who will play this fall as a grad transfer at Stanford.

Corbo, answering the question, What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?:

My versatility. I transitioned to tight end in college so my run blocking skills were not great to start, but have come a long way. I believe that I am a weapon and a mismatch against anyone who is covering me. I am also a red zone threat. I scored touchdowns this past season matched up against linebackers, safeties, and corners. 

And Washington, answering the question, What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?:

It’s been my dream to play in the NFL since I was 3 years old and my greatest fear is that I don’t make it because I didn’t work how I was supposed to.

EXTRA POINT

There are a lot of former Dartmouth football players who have become doctors and lawyers and PhDs over the years, so forgive me if I celebrate one in particular. One who just so happened to have spent countless nights sleeping on the upper bunk in good buddy That Certain Nittany Lion 16’s bedroom throughout elementary school, and who even had his own toothbrush at our house.

Kudos to former Dartmouth receiver Daniel Gorman ’16, who graduated this spring from medical school at Boston University. Although he saw limited action on the field, the Hanover High School graduate earned the program’s Manners Makyth Man Award as “the varsity football player, selected by his teammates, who has best conducted himself to the advantage of the College in the sense of William Wykeham's phrase, 'Manners Makyth Man.’ He also was awarded the Timothy Wright Ellis 1955 Memorial Award. "given to a man showing extracurricular and scholastic drive, spirit, loyalty and amiability and nominated and voted on by the captains of the men's teams.”


Next on tap: a residency in anesthesiology at Mass General Hospital in Boston.


Congrats, Daniel!
