“We are really excited about this 2021 recruiting class,” Oshoniyi said while out on the road, already recruiting his next class. Chad Duernberger and Stew Flaherty have worked tirelessly helping put this class together. This recruiting class of high character student athletes will make a positive impact on the field and in the Dartmouth and Hanover community.”

Oshoniyi on Buchanan: “A physically developed hard working goalkeeper. Dylan follows club teammate Orrett Maine Jr. to Hanover by way of the United Futbol Academy in Georgia. Dylan has shown himself to be a mature and consistent player who will add heavy depth and competition to our goalkeeping unit. As a goalkeeper myself, I believe there are elements of Dylan’s game not yet at full potential, which makes him an exciting prospect.”

Hometown: Norwalk, Conn. | High School: Pierrepont School
Club Team: Beachside FC

Oshoniyi on Callahan: “We identified Finn early in the recruiting process as one of the best players in Connecticut, and he had an immediate connection with our staff and players during his visit. He is an extremely hard-working technical attacking midfielder, his ability to play in tight spaces in the attacking 1/3 allows him the opportunity to create mature scoring chances for his teammates. We are looking forward to working with Finn and helping him develop into the player and person that he wants to be!”

Oshoniyi on Christodoulou: “An impressive mental and physical presence. Costi has captained his National Team at the U17 Level and choose the U.S. college pathway after attracting interest and trial offers from notable European clubs. We are very proud of the past and present performance of our goalkeeping unit. We believe the future is equally exciting!”

His ability to dictate the tempo of a match from the midfield position as a No. 6 or No. 8 really stood out to us immediately. His passing range and competence will allow us to keep the ball in tight areas and also spread the attack to different parts of the field.”

Ben Jenkins

Hometown: Newburyport, Mass. | High School: St. Paul’s School (N.H.)

He is an unbelievable person; he cares about people and really wants the best for everyone he comes in contact with.”

Having represented the U.S. National Teams at the youth level as well, David is extremely mature on and off the field and is driven to reach his goal as a student and an athlete. We are really excited to work with David over the next four years.”

He and his family showed nothing but enthusiasm and desire to be at Dartmouth throughout the recruiting process. I knew of Jonathan as a high-level youth player when I was coaching in the state of Tennessee.
