Although University of New Hampshire football was eliminated from playoff contention, one bright spot for UNH football is running back Dylan Laube. The senior is one of the top players in the country and could be playing at the highest level soon. “Wherever I go, I’m going to show everyone who I am,” Laube said. The goal that Laube set during high school has definitely been met. The UNH senior running back leads FCS football in all-purpose yards at just over 2,000. “It’s our line. It’s our receivers blocking downfield,” Laube said. “It’s our quarterback who’s playing lights out right now, Max Brosmer. So really, it’s more of like a team effort thing.”Laube was a record-setter in high school, too. As a senior at Westhampton, he set a Long Island record with 47 touchdowns.It still wasn’t enough to gain attention — UNH was his only scholarship offer. “I got more looks for lacrosse, and I was trying to use my lacrosse skills to kind of put my name into the football coach,” Laube said. “Like, ‘Hey, any chance I could play lacrosse and football?’”Laube has spent the past few years sending a message. He can play against whoever.In a September game against FBS opponent Central Michigan, Laube caught 12 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns. Life changed for him after that performance. “I probably had over 50 different agents in my DMs, texting me,” Laube said. “It was the middle of the night. I’m getting random calls. I’m like, ‘Who is this?’”More eyes will witness Laube’s do-everything talents in February at the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Alabama. It’s considered the top all-star game, as seniors play in front of every NFL team.From Long Island to Durham, Laube is closer to beating the odds. “Representing UNH is going to be fun, too. Just like seeing how a small-town kid from the Northeast, it’s going to be cool to say, ‘Hey, we also belong too,'” Laube said. “I’m going to be that hungry kid from peewee to middle school to high school to college. I got that chip on my shoulder still, and I still want to prove every single person wrong.” Whether or not Laube gets drafted next year or finds a spot as an undrafted rookie, Laube said a few teams have definitely showed some strong interest.
