We Know That Guy!

Former Dartmouth player Jace Henry '24 is one of five "Mountain West TEs to watch" in advance of his first game as a grad transfer at Nevada in a piece out of the Idaho Statesmen. From the story (LINK):

Jace Henry, Nevada — The 6-4, 270-pound fifth-year senior transferred to Nevada this year after four seasons at Dartmouth, where he helped the Big Green win Ivy League titles in 2021 and 2023. He caught 23 passes for 326 yards and scored four touchdowns (two receiving, two rushing) in 25 career games. The former dual-threat quarterback was named the Gatorade Alaska Player of the Year after leading Lathrop High to the state finals as a senior.

Grad transfer Jamal Cooney '23, who was out of football for a season, gets a quick mention in a look at UAlbany football this fall. From the story (LINK):

Other D1 transfer pass-catchers heading to UAlbany are Dartmouth WR Jamal Cooney, Jackson State WR Seven McGee, and Indiana TE Aaron Steinfeldt.

Dartmouth linebacker Micah Green '25 is one of a record 178 nominees for the 2024 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. He's one of three Ivy Leaguers nominated and is joined by Cornell's Maxwell Van Fleet  and Yale's Mason Shipp. (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
Mrs. BGA and I headed up to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom yesterday for a rare opportunity to tour a 21-turbine wind farm. Among other facts we learned at the Kingdom Community Wind farm in Lowell, Vt.: the towers stand 273 feet tall, and from the ground to the tip of an upright blade it is 443 feet. We were informed that the outside tip of the blades can travel 170 miles per hour, that the tower is "intentionally flexible" so it can sway up to 10 feet at the top, and that the turbines have to shut down when the wind speed his 55 mph. The farm can supply a year's worth of electricity to 24,000 homes.

In case you were wondering, standing at the base of the towers the sound was little more than a gentle whoosh and I learned you can get a little disoriented looking straight up one of the towers to shoot photos ;-)
