Newsworthy


Grad transfer Jace Henry (pictured above) had just one catch for Nevada in Saturday's near upset of heavy favorite SMU, yesterday but it was a big one, a five-yard touchdown. Find a page of photos from the game HERE and the Nevada wrap-up that mentions Henry HERE.

While Henry was making his debut in the FBS, former Dartmouth tackle Matt Kaskey '19 was making his case to stick with the Los Angeles Rams. Click the "still" below to watch him (wearing No. 65) blow a hole into the end zone on this touchdown run:

Dartmouth grad transfer linebacker Macklin Ayers gets a nod in an analysis of the UMass defense that includes this (LINK):

Although 2023 leading tackler Nahji Logan (59 tackles) departs, UMass returns plenty of production and adds first-team all-Ivy League linebacker Macklin Ayers from Dartmouth into the fold.

Ayers, a team captain for the Big Green, collected 79 tackles, including three tackles-for-loss, a sack, an interception and four pass break-ups. He’ll be in contention for a starting role right away.

And speaking of grad transfers, Dartmouth graduate Isaiah Johnson is opening some eyes with the Miami Dolphins after two years at corner for Syracuse. Here's an analysis of his play posted a few days ago:

Dartmouth kicked off preseason camp yesterday morning and BGA Overtime has a story that includes some (I think) interesting odds and ends HERE.

A reminder: All BGA Overtime stories are available free of charge to everyone and will be all season. Find the full site HERE.

Justin Lafleur of Dartmouth's sports information office of strategic content and brand management has a story about the opening of practice HERE.

EXTRA POINT
We left for New Jersey directly from practice yesterday and after debating taking our little EV had a seamless drive south. The charging infrastructure is really coming along. After a fabulous dinner with old friends from my undergrad days we'll spend time with family today and then enjoy a couple of days on the Jersey Shore. BGA may go quiet while we're out of town and if it does, you'll know why.
