Undersized but scrappy Dartmouth DB with starter traits and Ivy polish
Max McIntosh is a compact, junior defensive back for Dartmouth in the 2026 cycle, listed at 5-8 and 170 pounds, which hints at a player who has to win with quickness, leverage, and toughness rather than size. Dartmouth’s roster and ESPN profile both point to him as an active part of the Big Green secondary, and the key reason to care is fit: he brings the kind of competitive, assignment-sound profile that coaches trust in a physical Ivy League defense. If you want a DB who looks more disruptive than flashy, he’s the type to watch.
