The Ivy League announced its football honors today, and four Quakers made first-team All-Ivy — two of which were unanimous selections.

Senior linebacker Erik Rask and offensive lineman Greg Van Roten were Penn's first unanimous selections to the All-Ivy team since Chris Mizell and Sean Estrada in 2006.

Wide receiver Ryan Calvert was named first-team after a breakout year with 58 receptions for 641 yards, becoming quarterback Billy Ragone's favorite target this season. He had 65 total yards on six catches in his career before this season.

Junior defensive lineman Brandon Copeland was a first-team pick for the second-consecutive year.

Other Quakers getting honors: senior defensive lineman Jared Sholley (2nd team), senior defensive back Matt Hamscher (2nd team), junior offensive lineman Joe Bonadies (honorable mention), junior running back Brandon Colavita (HM) and senior tight end Luke Nawrocki (HM).

The full Ivy honors list is after the jump. Chuck Dibilio, Princeton (Fr., RB, Nazareth, Pa.)
