KEYT

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — Dartmouth College is announcing a new center named for its winningest football coach on what would have been his 68th birthday. Buddy Teevens, known nationally for his efforts to make football safer, died in September 2023 of injuries he had sustained in a bicycle accident six months earlier. Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock said Tuesday that Teevens had a passion for helping student-athletes discover their best selves and perform at the highest levels possible, on and off the field. The center will focus on research with possible areas of emphasis including cognitive science, quantitative social sciences, engineering, and biomechanics. It’s one of several initiatives in memory of Teevens since a community celebration honored him in May.
