The Official List

There are no positions, heights, weights, hometowns or high schools listed, but Dartmouth has finally announced its freshman class with a photo spread HERE.

All the names previously reported on BGA show up in the graphic along with two previously unknown names, and one who BGA kept waiting to announce.

New names to the class are:

Christian Harris, a 5-foot-11, 155-pound athlete from Inderkum High School in Sacramento. He was the defensive player of the year in the Capitol Valley Conference this year with Six interceptions and the assumption is he'll play on that side of the ball.

* Aidan White, a 6-1, 225 defensive end from Forsyth Central High School and Cummin, Ga.. He was a  6-7A All-Region and all-county selection.

•  Thai Brown, a 5-10, 170 safety from McDonogh High School in New Orleans. He was unofficially reported as heading to Dartmouth but made the announcement official only after the last BGA posting of the class. His social media reports a Georgia Tech offer.

Here's the class list from Dartmouth's official social media with expected positions. Corrections and clarifications are not just welcomed, but encouraged. ;-)

EXTRA POINT
I'm headed out the door as soon as this is posted to drive 45 minutes north and pick up the much-anticipated blades for my electric tractor. This is the set I ordered in place of the blades the repair shop ordered that were to arrive between July 3 and 9, but seemingly have been lost in transit. I'll drop the new blades off at the shop on my way back home and have been told they will be put on in no time. Then all that will be left is getting the tractor delivered before finally attacking my overgrown field. Fingers crossed there are no more hiccups!
