Statesmen Name Captains for 2023 Season

HC Kevin DeWall '00 took to twitter once again to make an important announcement regarding three Hobart players who've been named team captains for the 2023 season. 


SR DB Abdoulaye Diallo, SR RB Tim Denham, Jr. and SR LB Jaimen Bliss earned this honor with their selfless play and leadership.

From the Bronx, NY Diallo has been an Arthur Ash and All-Liberty League academic scholar award winner over the past couple of seasons. Last year, he totaled 15 tackles and an INT, leading the Statesmen with 8 PBUs.

From Syracuse, Denham battled through injuries last season but still rushed for nearly 800 yards and scored 12 TDs, which was second best for any individual player in the LL. I had a front row seat in the season finale, as I watched from the sideline and end zone as Tim rushed for 175 yards and a TD in the Centennial Cup game last November. 

From Solvay, Bliss is a standout among Hobart's talented LB corps. In 2023 he tallied 46 tackles, 9 TFL, three sacks, and 2 FF. He was a standout in the Statesmen's big win over Union, recording 8 tackles, 2TFL, and 1.5 sacks.

Congratulations to this strong trio of Statesmen!

81 days until kickoff (but who's counting ;)

Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
