Timothy Ioane Jr. brings burst and closing speed to Dartmouth’s linebacker room
A first-year linebacker for Dartmouth in 2026, Timothy Ioane Jr. is listed at 6-foot-1 and 218 pounds, and Dartmouth’s own preseason note says he plays hard with good burst and high closing speed[1]. That profile makes him interesting: he looks like a pursuit-and-pop defender who can chase plays down and add juice to the Big Green’s front seven. With no college stats yet available, the key reason to care is upside—he already has the build and motor coaches love, plus the kind of straight-line urgency that can translate quickly if he earns snaps[1].
