Better looking than those dull old gold Nike jerseys. Nike overrated, UA look is better with bigger numbers, better font.
Trin always changes everything, settle on a look that defines your great program and the winning tradition. Establish and stick with a timeless look every year that brands the program. If you need to change something mix in a third jersey now and then.
Alabama, Penn State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC.....need I go on, great programs are not uniform
chameleons. Stick with a look.

Oregon is a pretty strong program...

[lumbercat]

Yes a nice program. They will be sporting their 50 jersey and helmet combinations as they compete again this year for their first ever NCAA title.
Maybe if they ever win it they will establish one iconic look-- but probably too late for that now.

Has anyone seen Tufts or Williams post their recruiting class? They're the only schools that I haven't seen yet

[nescac1]

Williams never posts its recruiting class.  Awhile back I posted what is surely the bulk of it based on guys announcing via social media:

Owen Fitzsimmons, 6'3, 285 OL, Noble and Greenough
Finn Carley, 6'2 185 DB, Duxbury
Zach Falls, 6'4, 195 WR,  Duxbury
Henry Machnik, 6'1 205 QB/ATH, Nobles
Nick Dlugos, 6'0 190 ATH, Greensburg Central Catholic (PA)
Tommy Cottrell, 6'1 200 LB, Stepinac (NY)
Ben Yedid, 6'3 240 DL, Choate
Andrew Kreakie, 6'0 180 DB, Westerville (OH)
Tony Provenza, 5'9, 165 WR, Trinity Pawling

Quick Twitter search for Tufts:

Hudson Weidman QB MA
Brandon Rosenthal DL FL
Caden McCalum RB CA
Granville Anderson WR LA
Amari Watson ATH GA
Gavin Post LB NJ

I have to imagine their entire class isn't 8 guys but that's all I could find.

Hudson Wiedman's dad was my QB at Ithaca in the 1990s.  I do know he had a mid level d1 offer from like Sacred Heart or somewhere like that.  I haven't seem him play at all though.  Dad (and mom) were great athletes in college. 

[bantamweight]

In limited action last year Zebrowski completed over 70% of his passes. Of course, as a back-up to one of the most statistically successful NESCAC QBs of all time his reps consisted mostly of handoffs and short passes once games were far out of reach. It's still too early to tell how successful he might be running Trinity's offense but I'd be willing to bet on a fifth year senior with a top-tier roster over a Rookie of the Year winner from a bottom tier team. Also, while Zebrowski was voted a team captain despite his limited playing time it's worth noting Jake Robbins, the transfer QB from West Virginia will likely push him for the starting role. Considering those options, I'd say Trin is among the top three in the QB position group.

Yeah, I'd take the dude who ran scout against that 2023 Trin D week in and week out over some scrub who got lucky to bead a sorry ass Tufts team.

Wiedman was really the first big passer Ithaca had, and marked the sea change from the option based offense of Butterfield to the Welch offense

Good research...always great to see the "new guys"

Wonder when you'll see any of them?....probably awhile I'm betting.

(At least at most schools.)

[Scoops]

Tufts has posted their incoming class, and it looks like they're fully bought in to recruiting out of region (and rightfully so). 21 incoming, and only 6 are from the typical NESCAC areas. Shockingly, only 2 Massachusetts recruits. 1 New York. 1 New Hampshire. 1 New Jersey. 1 Pennsylvania. The rest are from the south or the west coast.

Hudson Weidman QB MA
Felix Juves DL MA
Henry Kaiden DB NY
John Getman TE NH
Benner Miller OL PA
Gavin Post LS NJ
Caden McCallum RB CA
Carter Campbell OL TX
Derek White TE TX
Reed Ramirez TE FL
Brandon Rosenthal DL FL
Amari Watson DB GA
Dazer Van Leeuwen LB TX
Tristian Pineda WR FL
Cameron Pineda DB FL
Nolan Marcus LB TX
