Linebacker Zyion Freer-Brown will play next fall at The Citadel. Freer-Brown led Dartmouth with 83 tackles last fall, including five for a loss with two sacks. He also had an interception and a fumble recovery.
Nickel Tyson Grimm is headed to Rhode Island. He was third on the Big Green last fall with 57 tackles. He had 1.5 tackles for a loss and brought an interception back 75 yards for a touchdown in the win over Columbia.
Jamal Cooper should have no problem remembering the name of his new head coach. The Big Green corner, who finished with 18 tackles and two pass breakups, is headed to Northwestern State, coached by Blaine McCorkle, cousin of Dartmouth's Sammy McCorkle.

Yesterday's BGA reposted congratulations to Duane Brooks and Don Dobes from Alex Schmidt. The former Dartmouth defensive lineman is now in his first year working in athletics in the Patriot League. From his Lafayette College bio (LINK):
Schmidt comes to Lafayette from New England College, where he served as director of football operations as well as the defensive line coach. Early in his career, he had helped structure and launch New England College's football program into the NCAA. Overseeing key aspects of compliance, student-athlete recruitment, operations, and eligibility tracking.
Schmidt earned his MBA with a focus in Sports and Recreation Management from New England College in 2025.
At Lafayette, Schmidt works under Athletic Director Sherryta Freeman '01, who helped the Dartmouth women's basketball team to a pair of Ivy League championships.

EXTRA POINT
Mrs. BGA and I went to Thompson Arena last night where we saw Dartmouth men's hockey post a 3-1 win over RPI. Here's a friendly reminder I could have used.

Although it might be a little cool in the arena – it is an ice hockey facility after all – you might still want to take your outside jacket or coat off during the game. Otherwise, when the game is over and you head out into brutally cold night, you will feel really cold.
It is safe to say the game was a lot more fun than the walk to our car in the Hanover High School parking lot when it was over. 🥶
