The University of South Dakota issued a release Friday headlined Football Announces Signings Of Transfer Athletes; Signed Transfers At South Dakota In Time For Spring Ball that includes this look at former Dartmouth quarterback Jackson Proctor '25 (LINK):

Jackson Proctor // QB // 6-2 // 210 // Kent, Wash. // Dartmouth College & Northern Illinois University

Spent his first four seasons at Dartmouth College (2021-24) with his collegiate debut coming at Princeton in 2022 ... played in 17 games for the Big Green with 617 yards and five touchdown passes ... spent time at Northern Illinois University but not during a football season.

Editor's Note: Uh, Proctor ran for 617 yards and five touchdowns in his Big Green career. He passed for 2,355 in a Dartmouth uniform, including 1,564 as a senior to go with 13 touchdowns.

While Proctor didn't spend much time with the NIU program, that's not actually correct, either. From a December story in the Northern Illinois school paper headlined NIU football transfer portal tracker: Who’s coming, who’s going? (LINK):

Proctor’s stint in DeKalb wasn’t a long one. Unable to officially join the team until after spring ball, the former Dartmouth transfer played in just one game for the Huskies — filling in for an injured Josh Holst in the season opener — before leaving the program for undisclosed reasons in September. Proctor will look to recreate the success he had at Dartmouth elsewhere for his final year of eligibility.

Proctor joins a South Dakota program that made it to the second round of the FCS playoffs before finishing 10-5 last fall. Proctor is one of just three quarterbacks on the spring 2026 spring roster. With the starter graduating, the most experienced returning QB is fellow redshirt senior Evan Cremascoli, who threw one pass last fall and has three completions in his career. Interestingly, he also transferred from Northern Illinois – before the 2024 season.

EXTRA POINT

I continue to receive periodic emails that appear to come from a long-ago BGA subscriber, as well as from the father of one of my former Little League players. I quickly realized the emails are actually spam using familiar, scraped addresses to try to “spoof” me into thinking they are legitimate.

When the emails first appeared, I contacted the former player’s father, who was understandably annoyed. He apologized repeatedly, but I assured him there was no need: I knew the messages were the work of a bad actor. I haven’t reached out to the former subscriber. Instead I simply ignore the junk emails that falsely claim to be from him.

But that has me wondering. Is someone using my address to spam others without my knowledge? I suppose it’s possible that recipients have recognized what’s happening—just as I did—and, like me with my former subscriber, haven’t bothered to touch base. I have absolutely no indication that it is happening, but if it is, you have my apologies.
