HANOVER – If your internet connection is fast enough, go back and take another look at the 2007 Dartmouth highlight film and when you do, keep your eye peeled for Big Green No. 26.
Not that you could miss him. He played in only three games, but his impact was enormous.
In Dartmouth’s overtime loss to Colgate in the season opener, Ian Wilson made 13 tackles, intercepted two passes, forced one fumble and contributed to another. In a big win over Penn two weeks later, the hard-hitting safety racked up another 13 tackles, broke up two passes, was in on a couple of tackles for loss before knocking the Quakers’ star running back out of the game with a pile-driver of a tackle.
Unfortunately for Wilson – and Dartmouth – that tackle not only knocked him out of the game but ended up sidelining him for the rest of the season with a neck injury.
Fortunately for Wilson – and Dartmouth – if he had to be hurt, it was the right year for it to happen.
