Dane Borene brings long-armed upside and early production to Princeton’s defensive front
The 2025 season showed Dane Borene as a developing Princeton defensive lineman with real frame-based upside: at 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, he already looks built for Ivy League trench warfare, and he recorded 5 total tackles in 2025 after not appearing in games in 2024. His high school résumé points to disruptive traits—district DL honors, team defensive player of the year recognition, and shot put experience—which usually translate to leverage, burst, and power. He looks like a fit for a program that values long, physical linemen with growth runway and some grit in the development curve.
