10 Bulldogs Earn All-Ivy Honors
McCarthy, Haynes, Money Make First Team
PRINCETON, N.J. – Ten members of the Yale football team were selected to the 2010 All-Ivy League squad announced today by the Ivy Group. The 10 Bulldogs cover 11 spots, including three on the first team, five second-team picks and three honorable mentions. Three of the players made the all-league team for a second time.
The trio of first-team selections was all seniors from the defense: DL Tom McCarthy (Chester, N.J.), LB Jordan Haynes (Folsom, Calif.) and DB Adam Money (Whiteland, Ind.).
McCarthy, the 2010 captain, led the team with four sacks and three forced fumbles while making more tackles (31) than any Eli lineman despite playing in just seven games due to injury. Haynes, the new Yale captain, had a team-high 102 tackles (third most in the Ivy) to go along with two sacks and a pair of interceptions. He scored Yale's first touchdown of 2010 by running back a fumble four yards against Georgetown. Money (37 tackles) led the Blue with three interceptions and seven pass break-ups. It was the second consecutive year McCarthy and Money earned All-Ivy honors.
All four of the second-teamers (all-league for the first time) came from the offense: senior TE Chris Blohm (San Francisco, Calif.), juniors QB Patrick Witt (Wylie, Texas) and RB Alex Thomas (Ansonia, Conn.) and sophomore WR/RS Chris Smith (Midlothian, Va.).
Blohm, who did not catch a pass in 2009, led the Eli ends with 26 receptions and two TDs. Witt, who led Ivy QBs with 212 completions, 351 attempts and a 246-yard average, had 12 TD passes. He was the only Ivy passer to complete better than 60 percent of his throws. Thomas, third among Ivy RBs with 79 yards per game, led Yale with nine scores. Smith, picked for both WR and return specialist, led the Ivies with a 27-yard KOR average while notching the only two (against Brown) kick returns for TD. Smith was fifth in the league with 46 catches.
Seniors DE Sean Williams (Portland, Ore.) and center Jake Koury (Dublin, Ohio) and junior CB Drew Baldwin (Alexandria, Va.) earned honorable mention honors. Williams, a 2009 All-Ivy honorable mention, had 28 tackles this fall and was second on the team with three sacks. Koury anchored an offensive line that produced 368 yards of total offense per game and averaged over 22 points. Baldwin, third among the Yale DBs with 25 tackles, had five pass break-ups.
