IVY
Josiah Green, Dartmouth, Sr.
2023 STAT LINE: 46 tackles, 7.5 TFLs
Green has been a key contributor for two years, going on three now. An All-Ivy League performer, he has one brother who played at Brigham Young, and his twin brother Micah who is also with Dartmouth as a linebacker. Green is a classic nose guard.

Dartmouth will face another honoree in its opener:
PATRIOT
Sam Buerkle, Fordham, Jr.
2023 STAT LINE: 35 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 4 fumble recoveries
Buerkle has certainly been noticed within the Patriot League, with most of those highlights coming last year as a sophomore. This Ohio native led the team with four fumble recoveries and started all 11 games at defensive tackle.
