For the second time this season, a Dartmouth player has been selected as the best in the FCS at his position by HERO Sports, and it shouldn’t be a surprise who it is:
After tallying nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns in 2023, Corbo became a star last fall. He grabbed 32 passes for 315 yards and seven touchdowns. The 6-foot-5 and 245-pounder was named to the All-Ivy League First Team and earned four All-American honors. Corbo was graded as PFF’s No. 10 FCS tight end, registering 16 first-down receptions, five contested catches, and just one drop.
In total, three Ivy League tight ends were listed in the top-10 nationally. Cornell’s Ryder Kurtz was ranked third and Harvard’s Seamus Gilmartin was eighth.
Chosen the top offensive lineman in the country earlier this spring was Dartmouth tackle Delby Lemieux. (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
I don’t know what kind of bush it is, and I rarely come across one. But whenever I do, and I catch its fleeting scent, I can close my eyes and be transported back to my elementary school days when we had one of these bushes in our back yard. I couldn’t begin to tell you what the smell is like or what kind of bush it is – but maybe the fact I come across it so rarely makes my imagined trip back to childhood that much more special.
I found myself smiling as I thought about that this morning. No, I didn’t stumble across the mystery bush – but again, it was a sweet smell that carried me back. This time, it was the smell of the beach roses that are especially plentiful alongside our house this spring. Their scent reminded me of the happy days when Mrs. BGA’s parents still owned their house in a tiny town on the Maine coast. There the roses bloomed between the road and the rocky beach, their fragrance dancing in the salty ocean air and hinting at all the wonders of the world awaiting our two young children.
