We’ll start with Brody McLeod, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound offensive lineman from Ponte Vedra High School in Florida. He has chosen Dartmouth over offers from Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Florida International, Florida Atlantic, East Carolina, Air Force, Army, Navy, Arkansas State, Wofford and Fordham. The 247Sport site reports offers from Duke and Memphis, but they don't show up in his Xwitter (unless I missed them).
McLeod reports 35-plus pancake blocks and zero sacks last year while making the Florida Athletic Coaches Association's District 6A first team. He also is a weight man on the track team.

Jake Namnun is a 6-2, 292 offensive lineman from Philadelphia powerhouse St. Joes Prep who began his career at Delran High School in New Jersey. He was chosen to the All-Catholic first team for his play with the Pennsylvania state champions last fall and has been ranked as the top high school center in the state. Per Rivals, he has an offer from Boston College and he recently reported a Georgetown offer. He also wrestles.

From a College Football News story headlined, Duke Defense Preview 2025: The Dominant Pass Rush Will Keep Coming (LINK):
The defense is going to be great, and it’s going to bring the pressure. Last year’s version was fantastic at getting into the backfield, and leading sacker Wesley Williams is back at one end to keep it all going. Senior Vincent Anthony Jr. returns after making five sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss on the other side.
Aaron Hall is an All-ACC fifth-year senior on the inside who can get into the backfield and hold up as an anchor against the run. Josiah Green (Dartmouth) is a 280-pounder who makes plenty of plays behind the line.

FootballScoop has a story headlined Number of Georgia high school coaches making at least six-figures reportedly grows to at least 100 that reports the top salary for a high school football coach in Georgia is $219,216. Find the story HERE.
Green Alert Take: You can be pretty sure there are no high school football coaches in the Upper Valley making six figures . . . unless you count the two numbers that come after the decimal point. ;-)
