Nick Easton was one of nine Crimson players named to the All-Ivy League first team (Gil Talbot).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After completing a perfect 10-0 season and earning the 16th Ivy League title in program history, the Harvard football team has earned 18 selections to the All-Ivy League team, the conference office announced Tuesday.

In addition, Tim Murphy, The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football, received the league's inaugural Coach of the Year Award, helping Harvard win its eighth conference crown since he arrived in Cambridge in 1994. Harvard's perfect season was also the third for Murphy since 2001.

The Crimson cruised to a 7-0 mark in league play for the sixth time, all under Murphy. Harvard also established a new program record by defeating Yale for the eighth-straight season. In addition, the Crimson continues to carry the nation's best record in the FCS since 2001, going 114-25 (.820), which also stands tied for second in all of Division I during the same timeframe. Harvard has won seven or more games in 14-straight seasons, an Ivy League record, and has scored in 168-consecutive games, establishing a new conference record in that category as well.

The Crimson had nine honorees on the all-conference first team:  senior offensive lineman Nick Easton, junior offensive lineman Cole Toner, junior running back Paul Stanton, Jr., senior tight end Tyler Hamblin, senior defensive end Zack Hodges, senior defensive tackle Obum Obukwelu, senior linebacker Connor Sheehan, junior defensive back Sean Ahern and senior defensive back Norman Hayes. Stanton, Hodges and Hayes were all unanimous choices to the first team.

The Ivy League will announce finalists for its Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year awards on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

On the second team, sophomore tight end Anthony Firkser, junior wide receiver Andrew Fischer and junior linebackers Eric Medes and Jacob Lindsey earned recognition.

Seniors Anthony Fabiano and Michael Mancinelli and junior Adam Redmond earned All-Ivy honorable mention as the entire Harvard offensive line was tabbed to the all-conference squad. Junior defensive end James Duberg and junior defensive back Chris Evans rounded out Harvard's selections for honorable mention.

Starting at center, Easton, a native of Lenoir, North Carolina, started all 10 games this season and helped Harvard rank among the nation's best in several statistical categories, including 15th in rushing offense (230.5 yards per game) and 19th in completion percentage (.643). Easton was also a first team All-Ivy choice in 2013.

Toner, who hails from Greenwood, Indiana, also saw action in all 10 games and helped the Crimson average 32.7 points per game this fall.

Stanton, an All-Ivy second teamer last fall, rushed for 990 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, moving to fourth in school history with 27 career rushing touchdowns. He ranked second in the Ancient Eight in rushing yards, despite missing two games because of injury. A product of Kenner, Louisiana, Stanton averaged 123.8 yards per game overall and enjoyed a career-day at Penn Nov. 15, running for a career-best 235 yards and three TDs. The 235 yards marked the third-most in a game in school history.

Despite missing four games because of injury, Hamblin, a native of Syracuse, New York, rounded out Harvard's list of players on offense to earn All-Ivy first team accolades. Hamblin finished with 11 catches for 176 yards and scored a key 28-yard touchdown in the win at Penn, which clinched the Ivy title for the Crimson.

On the defensive side of the ball, Hodges, who hails from Atlanta, Georgia, earns his third nod to the All-Ivy first team. Last year's recipient of the Asa S. Bushnell Cup as Ivy Defensive Player of the Year, Hodges is also this year's winner of the George "Bulger" Lowe Award, presented to the top defensive player in New England. He played in all 10 games this fall and recorded an Ivy League-best 8.5 sacks. He finished the year with 26 tackles and 10.0 stops for a loss, including 2.0 sacks in the win over Yale in The Game. Hodges will graduate as Harvard's all-time sack leader with 27.0.

Obukwelu, a native of Brockton, Massachusetts, recorded a career-high 38 tackles in 2014. He made 3.0 sacks and 4.5 tackles for a loss, including 3.0 in the victory at Dartmouth Nov. 1.

Harvard's career and season leader with three interception returns for touchdowns, Sheehan, a product of Austin, Texas, amassed 56 tackles and 3.5 tackles for a loss this year. Against Columbia Nov. 8, Sheehan returned two picks for scores (49, 48 yards), tying the Harvard career, season and game records that afternoon. In The Game, Sheehan broke the record with a 90-yard return after making an interception, helping the Crimson top Yale for the eighth-straight season.

Ahern, a junior from Cincinnati, Ohio, ranked fifth on the Crimson with 51 tackles and led the squad with 37 solo stops to earn his first nod to the All-Ivy squad.

Hayes, Harvard's 141st captain, picks up his third selection to the All-Ivy team after finishing the season with 45 tackles. Against Yale, Hayes, a native of Tucker, Georgia, recorded a Harvard season-high 13 stops in the Crimson's 31-24 victory at Harvard Stadium.

A sophomore from Manalapan, New Jersey, Firkser was second on the Crimson with 32 receptions and 485 yards, while tying for the team lead with four touchdowns. In Harvard's 49-7 win at Princeton Oct. 25, Firkser made seven grabs for 86 yards and a TD.

Fischer, who hails from Diamond Bar, California, had 55 catches for 677 yards and four touchdowns. His 55 catches were sixth most in a season in school history, and he now ranks 13th in program history with 87 catches for 1,026.yards. Fischer, who also handled much of the kick and punt return duties, averaged 129.8 all-purpose yards. He also scored two touchdowns against Yale, including the game-winner with 55 seconds left.

A linebacker from Cleves, Ohio, Lindsey led the Crimson with 63 tackles and finished with 3.5 tackles for a loss.

Medes, a native of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, recorded 61 tackles and played a key role in Harvard's win over Holy Cross Sept. 19, making eight stops and forcing and recovering a fumble.

Fabiano, who hails from Wakefield, Massachusetts, started all 10 games on the offensive line, as did Adam Redmond, a native of Strongsville, Ohio. Mancinelli, a native of Denver, Colorado, played in eight games and was tabbed to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team.

Duberg, a product of Chula Vista, California, finished with 30 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss and 3.5 sacks. He led the Ivy League with three forced fumbles, making two in the win at Georgetown (Oct. 4) alone.

Evans, who played in all 10 games after making only one appearance in 2013, finished with 43 tackles and nine pass breakups. A native of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, Evans made an interception in the win at Brown Sept. 27 and had a career-high nine tackles, including 2.0 for a loss, at Penn.
