11 Bulldogs Lauded with All-Ivy Honors

PRINCETON, N.J. – The Ivy League has announced postseason honors, and 11 Bulldogs have been tabbed with All-Ivy accolades. 
 
Junior offensive lineman Michael Bennett, senior wide receiver David Pantelis, junior defensive lineman Ejiroghene Egodogbare and sophomore linebacker Abu Kamara all received first team All-Ivy recognition. This is the second-straight year Bennett is being recognized. In 2023, he was recognized as All-Ivy honorable mention. This is the first set of year-end honors for both Pantelis, Egodogbare and Kamara. 
 
Junior running back Josh Pitsenberger, senior defensive lineman Tamatoa McDonough, and sophomore defensive back Osize Daniyan earned second team All-Ivy accolades. Pitsenberger earns his third-straight set of year-end honors after being named second team All-Ivy in 2023, and first team All-Ivy as well as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2022. Both McDonough and Daniyan are being recognized for the first time with postseason awards from the conference. 
 
Senior offensive lineman Connor Smith, senior quarterback Grant Jordan, and senior defensive lineman Alvin Gulley, Jr. were named All-Ivy honorable mention. Smith and Jordan are receiving their first set of postseason accolades, while Gulley, Jr. has earned his third-straight All-Ivy honorable mention recognition. 
 
Jack Michalik, an economics major, was Yale's Academic All-Ivy honoree.
 
Yale capped its season with a 7-3 overall record and a 4-3 record in Ivy play. The Bulldogs went undefeated in their non-conference slate of games, and won their last three games – including a 34-29 victory over Harvard.
