Statesmen Name 2020 Captains, Land a Pair of Panthers

The Hobart College Statesmen announced that rising SR CB Jared Leake and SR OLB Emmett Forde have been elected as captains for Team 127.


Leake has distinguished himself over the past three seasons, appearing in nearly 30 career games. He has tallied almost 100 tackles and has earned All-Conference recognition in 2018 (2nd team) and 2019 (1st team).

Forde had a break through 2019 season earning him multiple All-American awards. He finished the 2019 season with a team high 81 total tackles, 21 TFL, 7 sacks and 2 INTs.

Looking up to Leake and Forde will be a tandem from nearby Pittsford, NY. SR RB/SS Isaiah Cotton and SR SB / WR Clyde Williams recently "signed" as part of the Class of 2024.


Cotton is a patient but explosive runner who sees the field well and accelerates quickly when he finds the seam in the defense. His highlight reel can been seen here.


Williams is an equally impressive athlete but also has an amazing backstory you can watch here. Credit him and the Arena family for finding one another and building an incredible bond. Clyde's highlight reel can be viewed here.

Both are multi-sport athletes, Cotton excelling on the hardwood and Williams on the track.

Please join me in congratulating all these excellent Statesmen on their accomplishments and welcome Isaiah, Clyde and their extended families to the Hobart one!

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
