The Princeton Tigers are poised for a promising season after the release of the preseason Phil Steele All‑Ivy team, which recognized ten of the program’s standout players. The selections reflect a blend of experienced veterans and emerging talent that could reshape the team's dynamics on both sides of the ball.
Among the honorees, wide receiver and punt returner Josh Robinson earned first‑team accolades, while Barrett Eddlemon joined him on the first team along the offensive line. Their inclusion underscores the duo's impact and the coaching staff's confidence in their abilities.
The recognition extends beyond the first team, with Justin Selbert, Oytinare Porbeni, and Barrett Eddlemon also earning first‑team honors on the offensive line. Defensive standouts Chase Christopher and Torian Roberts received first‑team defensive honors, and Brady Clark was named first‑team punter, highlighting a well‑rounded squad.
Depth and Experience Set the Tone
Eight of the ten selections were also recognized a year ago, including Robinson, who was crowned Ivy Rookie of the Year after setting freshmen records for receptions (46) and receiving yards (569). His performance broke previous rookie benchmarks and signals a potentially explosive future for the Tigers.
Additional contributors such as Ethan Clark, AJ Pigford, and Evan Haynie earned second‑team honors, further illustrating the squad’s competitive balance. The collective presence of returning All‑Ivy players and high‑performing newcomers positions Princeton as a formidable contender in the league.
