32 freshman athletes will join Big Green football team
The Big Green football team will welcome 32 new players to the squad for the 2012 season. The recruits range in weight by nearly 150 pounds and in height by 10 inches, and the freshmen will fill voids left by graduates to cover the array of positions on the team. Hailing from 17 different states and Washington, D.C., six of the incoming players will fly in from Florida and four will make the journey north from Texas, continuing the trend of Big Green football players that call the two states home. Although the majority of the recruits will travel a considerable distance from home to play at Dartmouth, one incoming freshman is a Hanover native. The recruiting process can vary, but players generally contact coaches and then either send out game films or invite coaches to watch their high school games.
