The Cards performed impressively in 2022, finishing with a 6–3 record overall (their 10th straight season with a winning record), the Little Three title, and eight Cardinals earning All-NESCAC honors. But this past spring, graduation resulted in the loss of numerous key players on both sides of the ball, among them two-time reigning NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year defensive lineman (DL) Nick Helbig ’23 and First Team All-NESCAC honorees wide receiver (WR) Logan Tomlinson ’23, cornerback Danny Banks ’22, and quarterback (QB) David Estevez ’22. This marked a critical point of transition for the program, but the Cardinals’ new class of leaders was ready to step it up.
