All-BGA Day 9

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 ;-)

CORNER
While there are a lot of names that could be mentioned here, including 2017 Bob Blackman winner Danny McManus '17, there can be little debate about the three corners chosen. Yes three, because if you can figure out how to break the tie more power to you ;-)

Shawn Abuhoff '12 was a two-time member of the All-Ivy League first team whose 12 interceptions left him one short of the Dartmouth career record at graduation. He had 44 breakups, six forced fumbles and 176 tackles.

Vernon Harris '16, another two-time, first-team selection, had six interceptions, 28 breakups, two forced fumbles and 190 tackles starting every game of his four years. 

With a year to go in his career, Isiah Swann '20 already has tied the Dartmouth record for interceptions with 13, including a school-record and nation's-best nine last fall. In his career he already has 21 breakups, 110 tackles and one forced fumble after making the All-Ivy first team by unanimous selection last fall.
