Harlem Taylor brings Ivy-ready power and tackling pop to Dartmouth’s defensive line
Harlem Taylor, a 6'1", 281-pound freshman DL from Manchester, N.H., arrives at Dartmouth with a profile built for leverage, strength, and finishing plays—his coaches specifically praised his ability to make strong, important tackles in the 2026 season. He looks like a physically mature interior defender with the kind of punch that translates quickly if the technique follows. As a St. Paul’s School product, he fits the “hard-nosed, detail-driven” Ivy mold: low-drama, high-effort, and likely better than the stat sheet suggests. The upside is clear if he can keep stacking reps and conditioning.
