Peacock, Jacob Lead Eight Tigers On 2010 All-Ivy League Football Team
November 23, 2010 | Football
Senior Trey Peacock and junior Patrick Jacob were both honored as first-team All-Ivy League selections, it was announced Tuesday by the league office. They are among eight Princeton players who earned some form of postseason league recognition. Princeton also handed out 11 team awards at The Donold B. Lourie '22 Football Banquet Monday night; those awards are announced below the All-Ivy team.
Seniors Andrew Kerr and Jon Olofsson joined junior Joe Cloud on the All-Ivy second team, while senior Jordan Culbreath, junior Mike Catapano and sophomore Andrew Starks each earned Ivy League Honorable Mention.
Peacock completed a brilliant senior season ranked in the national Top 10 in both receptions per game (7.2) and receiving yards per game (95.5). He ended the season with 11 more catches and 113 more receiving yards than anybody in the Ivy League; he ended the season with 955 receiving yards, fifth most in one season ever at Princeton. He had four games with at least 100 receiving yards, including a 196-yard receiving day at Lehigh, the eighth-best single-game total in Princeton history.
Jacob led the Ivy League in field goal percentage, making 14 of 18 attempts on the season. Like Peacock, he had an impressive start to the season, making five of six kicks at Lehigh, including his season long of 43 yards. The next weekend, he went 3-for-3 in field goals, including one in the final minute of regulation to force overtime and another in the first session of overtime. He tied for ninth in the nation in field goals and averaged 62.9 yards per kickoff.
Cloud was also a special teams standout. He led the Ivy League in punting with a 42.7-yard average, more than half a yard more than any punter in the league. He had eight punts inside the 20 and eight of 50+ yards. Cloud had a career-long punt of 67 yards against Penn, though he had 60+ punts against Columbia, Brown and Harvard as well.
Kerr ended the season with 51 catches for 467 yards and five touchdowns, including one in the win over Lafayette and two against Harvard. He had at least five catches in six different games, including a season-best 11 for 125 yards at Lehigh. Despite missing one game due to injury, Kerr had the third-most catches of anybody in the league and ranked ninth in receiving yards per game.
Olofsson was moved to the middle linebacker position following the season-ending injury to Steven Cody and posted one of the best seasons for a Princeton linebacker this decade. He ranked second in the Ivy League with 104 tackles and became the fourth Princeton player in the last 10 years with more than 100 tackles, joining Cody, Zak Keasey and Justin Stull. The Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week after a one-point loss at Yale, Olofsson recorded double-digit tackles in six games, including each of the last four.
Catapano fought through a variety of injuries to lead the Princeton defensive line with 37 tackles, including 20 solo stops. He had 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. He also added two pass breakups in a season that saw him play both inside and outside because of injuries and matchups.
Culbreath may not have posted the same magical numbers that earned him first-team All-Ivy League honors in 2008, but his effect on the team and the entire league can't be measured in numbers. He led the team in rushing with 48 yards per game, and his average of 5.3 yards per carry ranked in the top half of the Top 10 overall rushers in the league.
Starks finished the season second on Princeton and fourth in the Ivy League with 8.9 tackles per game. He led Princeton with seven tackles for loss and was second on the team with two interceptions and added a fumble recovery. He is Princeton's only sophomore on the All-Ivy team and will be a team leader on the defense for the next two seasons.
