Among a handful or so rising seniors announcing for Dartmouth recently is 6-foot-6, 210-pound quarterback Webber Marx of Concord (N.H.) St. Paul's School. Marx chose Dartmouth over Yale, Penn and Cornell, as well as offers from Syracuse, UConn, Toledo, Rhode Island, Holy Cross and Fordham.
Marx tore his ACL in his final game last fall and had the injury repaired on Dec. 11. He hails from Wellesley Mills, Mass., and is the son of a Princeton alum.
Hezekiah Davis, a 5-10, 185 running back from Tampa Jesuit High School, has chosen Dartmouth over offers from Harvard, Yale, Brown and Columbia as well as Coastal Carolina, Navy, Eastern Michigan, Florida Atlantic, Liberty, Richmond, Rhode Island, Holy Cross, Lafayette and The Citadel.
Oliver Costello, a 6-5, 285 offensive lineman who blocks for Marx at St. Paul's, picked Dartmouth over offers from Penn, Brown and New Haven. He's from Plymouth, Mass.
KJ Sims, a 6-3, 192 defensive end from Seckinger High School and Buford, Ga., is headed to Dartmouth after considering offers from Kennesaw State and Morehouse.
Announcing for Dartmouth earlier this spring was quarterback Richmond Saunier, brother of Big Green starting QB Grayson Saunier. (LINK)
Green Alert Take: See something about a Dartmouth commitment? Send a link along. And if you have corrections regarding players headed this way, let me know in the contact form off to the right.
Green Alert Take II: While the next recruiting class is starting to take shape, still no official announcement about the class that will be arriving in two months. Disappointing.

Like many of you, more and more I've found myself tuning our "smart" TV to YouTube for highlights, news, entertainment, commentary and how-to-videos. But I've always been annoyed by clickbait thumbnails that tease me into videos that I wouldn't otherwise watch, and then fail to deliver on what the thumbnail promises.
Fortunately, YouTube has tapped into AI and for a lot of videos it now has an "Ask" button that allows viewers to get a pretty good summary of the video, or quiz the bot regarding the "tease" in the thumbnail. Don't tell YouTube but it might have outsmarted itself. As a result of that functionality I'm dodging a lot of YouTube videos – and the commercials that make the platform profitable – because I can get the answers I need without wasting time watching them.
