Sophomore quarterback Billy Ragone and senior fullback Luke DeLuca joined the trio on the first-team All-Ivy offense, while on the defensive side the linebacker duo of junior Erik Rask and senior Zach Heller were joined by senior Josh Powers and sophomore Brandon Copeland on the first team.Four first-time recipients were among the All-Ivy second team honorees in offensive lineman Drew Luongo, sophomore running back Brandon Colavita, defensive lineman Drew Goldsmith and defensive back Matt Hamscher.
Eight more Quakers were named All-Ivy honorable mention, including senior Bradford Blackmon on two occasions. Bradford was an honorable mention defensive back as well as an honorable mention return specialist and was joined on that list by sophomore tight end Luke Nawrocki, senior defensive lineman Brian Wing, senior defensive back Brian Levine, senior kicker Andrew Samson, sophomore punter Scott Lopano and senior offensive lineman Jared Mollenbeck.
