Jacob Henry is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound running back/defensive back for Maumelle High School in Arkansas. His social media notes offers from Army, Navy, Air Force, Princeton, Yale and Cornell and includes this: "All State, 3X All Conference, Offensive MVP."
From story after he transferred from Central Arkansas Christian prior to last season (LINK):
The junior was a tackling machine at CAC last fall. He totaled 187 stops and accumulated 800 return yards and five scores. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder will bring some punch to the Hornets' defense which has been infused with other talented transfers.

While the 2026 high school recruiting class is building, we're still waiting for the announcement of the players who will be arriving on campus in two months.
Green Alert Take: Every time I mention that we're still waiting for the names, I think of this.

Several emailers in the past week or so have shared a tip about this book, written by one of today's most prolific authors and a former president. Here's the tease from Amazon (LINK)
The President of the United States is up for reelection.
Her husband is on trial for murder.
Is the First Gentleman a killer?
A pair of brilliant investigative journalists set out to answer that burning question about the NFL star-turned-political spouse.
Why post that here? Because it turns out the The First Gentleman in question is fictional former Dartmouth football player Cole Wright, who landed with the New England Patriots after college. And because several scenes in the book take place in Hanover.
I haven't read The First Gentleman, so I had a little fun and asked ChatGPT about the character's Big Green career. Here's what AI produced:
At Dartmouth, Cole was a standout player on the college football team. His talent on the field was significant enough to launch him into a brief professional career.
Then ChatGPT offered this:
If you want more insight into his Dartmouth years, football stats, or how his college relationship with Maddy influences the plot later, just let me know!
While I'm not sure I'm going to pick the book up, I decided to avoid the spoiler but still allow AI to give me the fictional player's stats. Here's what it offered:
His college performance earned him a shot in the NFL, signing as a tight end with the New England Patriots.
If you’re looking to build a realistic stat profile for him (e.g., imagining his college performance), we could reference typical tight-end stats from Dartmouth during that era. For example, Dartmouth tight ends often earned anywhere from 30–50 receptions, 400–600 receiving yards, and 3–7 touchdowns per season—though these are general ranges, not Wright’s specific (fictional) numbers.

The NCAA Division I Council has approved annual 12-game schedules in the FCS starting in 2026. (LINK)
Green Alert Take: Will the opportunity to play at least eight more games over the course of a career – almost a full Ivy League season – be another incentive for potential Ivy recruits to look elsewhere? Or will the Ivy League at least add that elusive 11th game? Time will tell.

EXTRA POINT
Saw this earlier today and it puts the year in perspective. If you made a circular 365-day calendar with Christmas at the top, yesterday would have been exactly at the bottom. That's right. June 25 was that halfway point between the last Christmas and the next.
