Local Roundup: Big Green Wideout Named Ivy League’s Top Rookie

Hanover — The Dartmouth College football team placed two players on the All-Ivy League first place on Tuesday, and wide receiver Hunter Hagdorn was named Ivy Rookie of the Year.

Big Green offensive lineman Dave Morrison and linebacker Folarin Orimolade made the first team, and Hagdorn made the second team along with safety Charlie Miller and defensive lineman Nick Tomkins.

Morrison, a 6-5, 315-pound right tackle, anchored an offensive line that helped the Big Green rank second in the league in total offense and first in passing while yielding a league-low 13 sacks.

Orimolade, who was named a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player, backed up his preseason All-America status by leading the Ivy League in sacks (9.0) and forced fumbles (5) while finishing second in tackles for a loss (14.5) and fifth in tackles (83).

Miller played in nine games, starting eight, recording 41 tackles,, a pair of interceptions and five passes broken up.

Tomkins, a 6-3, 270-pound junior, led all of Dartmouth’s defensive linemen with 37 tackles, five for a loss, and three sacks.

Six other Big Green players earned honorable mention: senior nickelback Lucas Bavaro, senior defensive linemen Brandon Cooper and Zach Husain, junior linebacker Eric Meile, sophomore offensive lineman Matt Kaskey and sophomore running back Miles Smith.

Princeton’s Bob Surace was tabbed as the Ivy League Coach of the Year after guiding the Tigers to a share of the conference crown.
