Two Dartmouth players are among the 600 names included on the NFL Draft Diamonds 2023 Small School Prospect Watch List" of top "Small Schoolers." The thinking here is you might guess one of the two. Wonder who they are? Think about it and then find the answer is just above today's Extra Point.

The Biletnikoff Award Watch List has a familiar name on it. Jake Bobo, a grad transfer from Duke who will play this fall at UCLA, was included (LINK). If the last name is familiar it might be because his father, Mike '92, was Dartmouth's leading receiver in 1990 and '91, serving as captain as a senior.

EXTRA POINT
We lived 1.9 miles up a hilly dirt road overlooking Hanover before we moved to Vermont and I loved it. Believe it or not, I had a lot more confidence driving on a snow-covered dirt road than a snow-covered paved road. I thoroughly enjoyed living on an unpaved road – except for a month or so each spring.
Our hillside home here in Vermont is also on a dirt road but here's the thing. It's just one-tenth of a mile down our hill until we hit pavement, so mud season isn't really an issue heading into town.
Heading the other way is another story. The road to my hiking trail was two miles of oatmeal this spring and the two miles in the other direction to our post office wasn't much fun either, although it was nowhere near as impassable as the road to the trailhead.
Mud season is well behind us and with a lack of rain this summer it has been replaced by dust season. I've been using a whisk broom on my back window almost every time I get back from my hike or checking the mail. I can wash the car and after one trip to the post office you would never know it. It would win a "dirtiest car in the parking lot" contest at any minor league ballpark in the country.
Here's the rear windshield of my newly washed car after just one five-minute trip to the post office:
