Tyler (Unanimous), Deters, Stallworth Named First-Team All-Ivy; 14 Tigers Honored In All

The Princeton football team put together an 8-2 record and spent much of the season in the national top 25 and did so with balance on both sides of the ball. The 2019 All-Ivy League football team reflects that balance.

Princeton had three first-team selections and then seven second-team selections, as well as four honorable mention picks that ran the total number of All-Ivy selections to 14.

"We played as a team all year," said head coach Bob Surace. "When I think of this team, I'll always think about how well they all played together and how many different guys made significant contributions. This team was never going to be about individual honors, but it's still great to see so many guys get recognized."

Jeremiah Tyler led the way as Princeton's lone unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection. Tyler, a junior linebacker who was a second-team pick a year ago, led the Ivy League in tackles for loss and was second on the team in total tackles with 62 (34 solo). He was one of four unanimous first-team selections.

Senior Alex Deters finished his career as a first-team All-Ivy center after starting all 10 games. Deters helped an offense that averaged 425 total yards per game.

Junior cornerback Delan Stallworth, like Tyler, was a first-team All-Ivy League honoree this season after being a second-team pick last year. Stallworth led the Ivy League in solo tackles with six per game, and he finished the season third on the team in total tackles while adding an interception and four pass breakups.

Princeton's seven second-team selections included junior Collin Eaddy, a running back who led the league with 12 rushing touchdowns and led Princeton with 799 yards rushing.

In addition, Princeton's Jacob Birmelin was also second-team after a 60-reception junior year that was third in the league. Birmelin was also an honorable mention pick as a punt returner.

Sophomore tight end Carson Bobo was named to the second team after his 23 receptions.

Henry Byrd, another sophomore and the team's left tackle on the offensive line, was also second-team, giving Princeton four second-team selections on offense.

Defensively, junior Samuel Wright was named second-team after his 40-tackle year that included a team-best 4.5 sacks.

Princeton's other two second-team picks were its two kickers. Tavish Rice, a senior, had 45 touchbacks on 59 kickoffs, by far the highest percentage in the league, and made five of his eight field goal attempts with a long of 46. Freshman Will Powers was honored after averaging 40.2 yards per punt with a long of 57.

Princeton's three honorable mention selections in addition to Birmelin as a punt returner included Kevin Davidson, the quarterback who threw for 2,569 yards (the fifth-best single-season total in program history) and 20 touchdowns (fourth-best).

Junior linebacker James Johnson was an honorable mention pick after leading Princeton in tackles with 67, including 8.5 for loss, two sacks and a fumble recovery.

Senior defensive lineman Joey DeMarco was also honorable mention after his 36-tackle season that included 9.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Senior safety T.J. Floyd, a two-time All-Ivy selection, was named honorable mention after his 43-tackle, two-interception season.

The Ivy League will announce the finalists for the Bushnell Cups for the offensive and defensive players of the year next week.
