Portal Happenings

Two interesting developments in transfer portal news today.

First, Dartmouth senior Marques White is a late entry into the transfer portal. White led the Big Green in sacks (5.0) and tackles for loss (9.5) while earning a spot on the All-Ivy League second team in 2021, but was limited to two games this fall because of injury. Here's his Tweet:

And second, John Paul Flores '22 has added another significant offer as he considers moving on after a year at Virginia:

JP's offer sheet now looks like this per his Twitter: Stanford, Jackson State, East Carolina, La Tech, Old Dominion, Temple, UMass, Marshall, Troy, Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green and Rice.

EXTRA POINT
You know how on interstate highways they have signs listing "Attractions?"

Spotted under "Attractions" on I-89 near Lebanon as we drove home from Logan Airport yesterday: a hospital.

Can't you just imagine a family driving up I-89 on a fine summer day and mom or day turning to the back seat and saying, "Hey kids, before we go ride the zip line at the ski area, what say we enjoy a fun afternoon at the hospital?"

Didn't think so.
