Football Earns 13 All-Ivy Selections

Four Harvard players took home honorable mentions. Sophomore wide receiver Adam Scott belonged to this group. Despite playing only five games, the speedster finished third on the team with 321 receiving yards, including a 109-yard showcase against Columbia.

On defense, captain and cornerback Sean Ahern also earned an honorable mention, bucking two straight years of first-team appearances. A shoulder injury kept Ahern out of the last four games, but the fifth-year senior still topped the Crimson with eight pass breakups.

Joining him as honorable mentions were senior defensive lineman Langston Ward and junior defensive back Tanner Lee.

More than half of Harvard’s All-Ivy crew will return for next season, including first-teamers Shelton-Mosley and Larry Allen, Jr. These players will look to improve on a 7-3 campaign that shattered two historic streaks—three straight Ivy League titles and nine straight wins over Yale.

Already preparations for next season have begun. After the loss to the Bulldogs, Shelton-Mosley took off a couple weeks for the sake of rest and recovery. But last Wednesday he has resumed his weight-training regimen.

As Harvard coach Tim Murphy likes to remark, football players train 300 days for the sake of 10 games. Those 300 days of preparation start now, in the depths of December.

“For me I want to do anything possible to help our team win,” Shelton-Mosley said. “The goal is to go 20-0 the next two years and win Ivy League championships.”
