 That’s Charlie Looes, the former Dartmouth defensive lineman who is moving on to the Canadian Football League after a successful season as a grad transfer at Rice.

From a story about the signing (LINK):
Looes (six-foot-three, 275 pounds) joins the Green and Gold after spending the previous four seasons with Rice University (2021-2024). The Hillsdale, NJ native was a productive member of the Owls defensive line, recording 15 sacks over the previous three seasons and racking up 127 total tackles over that stretch. Looes most prolific season came in 2023 when he led Ivy League football with 7.5 sacks and was named to the All-Ivy League first team. ​

The Dartmouth writes about the third annual “powderpuff” football tournament that "continues to bring the Dartmouth community together and honor the life and legacy of Joshua Balara ’24.” Find the story about the event, which celebrates the life of the former Big Green lineman HERE.

EXTRA POINT

We made the long drive down to the Princeton area yesterday so we could head into New York City today to celebrate our niece, who just completed her Psy.D. It was a pleasant surprise that on a rainy Friday of a three-day weekend we had surprisingly few delays on the road, despite getting to the metropolitan area around rush hour. We saw ugly tie-ups going in the other direction and kept wondering when we would get locked in a complete standstill, but apart from a few slow-downs, it never happened. Fingers crossed for our return on Monday.
