Tanner Cross gives Dartmouth a veteran, hard-nosed linebacker presence
In the 2026 season, Tanner Cross profiles as a fifth-year Dartmouth linebacker with the kind of sturdy, dependable frame and experience coaches love: 6-1, 220 pounds, plus a history of contributing as a reserve, team captain, and all-around disruptive defender. His best calling card is toughness with playmaking flashes—he has previously shown he can force turnovers, finish tackles, and make momentum-swinging plays, which is exactly the sort of glue-guy profile that fits disciplined, physical defenses. If your team wants a smart, battle-tested LB who brings leadership and edge, Cross is worth caring about.
