PRINCETON, N.J. – Eight Ivy League football standouts from five different programs were
named to the 2025 Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-America Team, announced Tuesday.
The Ivy League’s eight selections tied for the fourth-most of any conference.
Four Ivies earned First Team honors: Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo and offensive lineman Delby Lemieux, along with Yale offensive lineman Michael Bennett and defensive back Abu Kamara.
Harvard defensive back Ty Bartrum and Dartmouth placekicker Owen Zalc were named to the Second Team, while Cornell wide receiver Samuel Musungu and Penn offensive lineman Netinho Olivieri earned Third Team recognition.
The Ivy League is set to make its historic debut in the FCS Playoffs this fall.
Columbia, Dartmouth, and Harvard shared the Ivy League title in 2024 following another fiercely competitive season. It marked the second consecutive year — and just the sixth time in league history — that three teams finished as co-champions.
The 2025 Ivy League football season kicks off on Friday, Sept. 19.
