Olofsson, Kelley Earn Individual Ivy League Football Honors
November 16, 2010 | Football
Senior Jon Olofsson and freshman Connor Kelley both had standout performances against Yale, and each was honored by the Ivy League following Week 9 of the college football season.
Olofsson led a defense that held Yale to one offensive touchdown. He recorded 14 tackles, including 13 solo ones, and recorded two tackles for loss, including one sack. He had a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, and he broke up a pass.
Olofsson currently ranks second in the Ivy League with 10.0 tackles per game. He has 90 stops on the season, two ahead of Yale's Jordan Haynes; with 10 tackles Saturday, he would become only the fourth Princeton player this decade with at least 100 tackles (Justin Stull, Zak Keasey and Steven Cody).
Kelley was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after completing 13 of 17 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown against Yale. He also rushed 10 times for a team-best 45 yards. He is Princeton's first Ivy League Rookie of the Week since Nov. 3, 2003, when punter Colin McDonough took the honor.
Princeton will conclude its season Saturday at 1 p.m. against Dartmouth. The Tigers will honor their senior class before the game on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium.
