Dartmouth’s Thaddeus Gianaris brings disruptive edge-rush juice from linebacker
In the 2025 season, Thaddeus Gianaris emerged as a real game-wrecker for Dartmouth: 55 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, and 8 quarterback hurries, earning first-team All-Ivy honors and a reputation as the Big Green’s most disruptive front-seven defender.[14] At 6-2 and 240 pounds, he looks like a downhill, high-motor linebacker who can also attack the edge, and Dartmouth’s staff trusted him in a defense that ranked 13th nationally against the run.[1][14] He’s a strong fit if you want intensity, production, and pass-rush upside from the second level.
