PRINCETON, N.J. – The Ivy League has announced postseason honors, and 13 Bulldogs have been tabbed with All-Ivy accolades.

Running back Josh Pitsenberger won the Asa S. Bushnell Offensive Player of the Year award for his senior campaign. He totaled 1,238 yards on 255 carries and 15 touchdowns, leading in each category. His rushing yard total also puts him at ninth in the country for that category. Pitsenberger earns his fourth-straight set of year-end honors after being named second team All-Ivy in 2023 and 2024, and first team All-Ivy as well as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2022.

Nickel linebacker Abu Kamara was unanimously voted the Asa S. Bushnell Defensive Player of the Year award for his junior campaign. He recorded 65 total tackles (32 solo), 6.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions, eight pass breakups and a blocked kick. His season also included two defensive touchdowns, one on an interception return, and the other on a fumble recovery.

This is the first time since the Asa S. Bushnell Cup was made into separate offensive and defensive awards in 2011 that both winners came from the same school.

The Yale coaches were also recognized with the Ivy League Coaching Staff of the Year award, which is the second time the Bulldogs have won it since its inception in 2014 (Tony Reno won Coach of the Year in 2022 before it became Coaching Staff of the Year in 2024). Yale capped its regular season with an 8-2 overall record and a 6-1 record in Ivy play. The Bulldogs finished the regular season on a six-game winning streak – including a 45-28 victory over previously undefeated Harvard — to clinch a share of the Ivy League Championship and the league's first-ever automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs.
 
Pitsenberger, senior wide receiver Nico Brown, senior offensive tackle Michael Bennett, senior center Leo Bluhm, senior pass rusher Ezekiel Larry, senior linebacker Inumidun Ayo-Durojaiye, Kamara and junior defensive back Brandon Webster were all First-Team selections. Pitsenberger, Larry and Kamara were all selected unanimously. This is the second-straight year Bennett and Kamara are being recognized as an All-Ivy First Team member. This is the first set of year-end honors for both Brown, Bluhm, Larry, Ayo-Durojaiye, and Webster.
 
Junior defensive lineman Zairion Jackson-Bass was the only Bulldog to earn Second-Team honors, while junior offensive lineman Quinton Lewis, junior linebacker Phoenix Grant and junior defensive lineman Jaylin Tate were All-Ivy Honorable Mentions.  
 
Jack Michalik, an economics major, was Yale's Academic All-Ivy honoree, his second-straight year winning the award.
