Maloof lives in Westfield, which has a proud high school football history, but played at Saint Peter's Prep in Jersey City. The 6-5, 210 defensive end/tight end chose Dartmouth over offers from Penn, Brown, Cornell, Wofford. Here's his commitment post:

A global search is underway for the inaugural executive director of the Kirsten and Eugene F. “Buddy” Teevens ’79 Center for Peak Performance.
. . . (T)he Teevens Center will offer programs that fuse cutting-edge research with real-world applications, giving students tools to perform at their best while expanding the reach of the successful Dartmouth Peak Performance program that has been geared to student-athletes.
The center will serve as a cross-disciplinary research and programming hub focused on student well-being, leadership, and performance. It will integrate expertise from fields such as cognitive science, biomechanics, engineering, and quantitative social sciences to explore new approaches to mental health, physical training, and leadership development among student-athletes and the broader student population.

EXTRA POINT
The good news? It happened during the day.
Earlier this week our smoke/carbon monoxide detector(s) decided to throw a very loud surprise party. There are six of the alarms in the house, all hard-wired with battery backup. A search showed there was no fire or smoke, and there was no carbon monoxide, but there was plenty of screeching noise accompanied by an electronic voice imploring us to, "Evacuate. Evacuate."
All the detectors have relatively new batteries and the assumption is that dust, pollen or maybe even dog dander/fur had somehow floated into the sensor in one of the alarms. Unfortunately, with six of the things screaming at us, we couldn't tell which one was triggering them all to go off. Hitting the "test" buttons eventually got the units to quiet down, only to have them start up again like a petulant child a few minutes later.
Mr. Google informed us smoke alarms should be replaced after 7-10 years, and opening a couple up revealed these were installed in 2017, so they are on the front end of that window. That being the case, we made a visit to our local hardware store to buy a can of compressed air to clean the alarms out, and see if we can squeeze another couple of years out of the units before going through the hassle and expense of replacing them.
So far, so good. But if they pull this stunt again — especially at 3 a.m. — we’re replacing them all. Possibly with a sledgehammer. (Just kidding.)
