All-BGA Day 2

A look at the best of Dartmouth since BGA came on the scene with the return to Hanover of Buddy Teevens in 2005. A reminder that these are one onlooker's opinions. Your mileage may vary ;-)

TIGHT END
There are a few positions where names don’t jump off the page and this is one of them. Landing on the top line of the list will be John Gallagher '12, an All-Ivy League honorable-mention pick as a sophomore, a second-team selection as a junior and a first-team All-Ivy choice as a senior. Despite playing in an offense that occasionally eschewed throwing to the tight end Gallagher somehow managed to catch 81 passes for 741 yards and six touchdowns to finish his career among the Big Green’s top-20 all-time receivers and second only to NFL-bound Casey Cramer '04 among Dartmouth tight ends. He also was a terrific blocker.

Stephen Johnston '18 had a solid three-year career and Cameron Skaff '18 seemed headed for this list only to have injuries shortcircuit his career. Soon-to-be senior Connor Rempel’s 22 catches with five TDs last year makes him a strong candidate to join the ranks before he’s done.

Tomorrow: Wide Receiver
