PRINCETON, N.J. – The Ivy League announced its All-Ivy football teams as well as its Special Teams Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year on Tuesday afternoon.
Brown running back Matt Childs earned the League’s Rookie of the Year honor after leading the Bears in rushing yards and scrimmage yards for an offense that averaged over 25 points per game. The Medway, Mass., native appeared in nine games during the season where he totaled 361 rushing yards, 384 receiving yards and four total touchdowns. Childs had a season-high 101 receiving yards with a touchdown against Harvard.
Dartmouth kicker Owen Zalc was named Special Teams Player of the Year, playing an integral part in leading the Big Green to an 8-2 record. The sophomore from Cary, N.C., led the Ivy League with 74 points, making all 35 extra point attempts and converting 13-of-17 field goal attempts including a 54-yard kick against Harvard, tied for the longest kick in Ivy League history.
Harvard led the way with 11 total selections across the All-Ivy First and Second Teams, followed by Columbia and Penn with nine selections each on the First and Second Teams. Dartmouth paced all League schools with nine All-Ivy First Team honorees.
Penn running back Malachi Hosley was a unanimous selection to the All-Ivy Offense First Team, while Dartmouth defensive lineman Josiah Green, Harvard linebacker Mitchell Gonser, and Columbia defensive back Hayden McDonald were all unanimous selections to the First Team Defense. Zalc was a unanimous selection as a First Team Special Team member.
