CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Football seniors
Ty Bartrum,
Jaden Craig and
Alex DeGrieck were all named to the 2025 New England Football Writers Association All-New England Team. The squad honors the best Division I players by position in New England from the 2025 campaign.
Bartrum, the team's lone captain, was an All-Ivy League First-Team selection this season and finished second on the team with 83 tackles, while adding 0.5 tackles for loss, one interception, three pass breakups, one quarterback hurry and two forced fumbles. The Pomeroy, Ohio, native ended his season by reaching the double-figure tackle total in his final three outings, with 14 apiece vs. Penn and at Yale, and 11 at Villanova. In addition to this accolade, Bartrum is a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is presented to the national defensive player of the year.
Craig, a first-team All-Ivy performer in 2025, enjoyed a banner season, one that saw him set the Harvard career record for passing touchdowns and passing yards. The New Jersey native, who passed for more than 300 yards five times and threw for multiple TDs on seven different occasions, ended his time in Cambridge with 52 passing TDs and 6,074 yards. He is a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, which honors the national offensive player of the year.
DeGrieck, meanwhile, was a disruptive force on the defensive line and is coming off an All-Ivy First-Team campaign. The senior finished with 24 tackles, but led the Crimson with 7.5 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks, while also contributing one pass breakup, two quarterback hurries and one forced fumble.
The All-New England accolade is the third straight for Bartrum and the second in a row for Craig. DeGrieck is a first-team honoree.
The Harvard trio helped the Crimson (9-2; 6-1 Ivy) produce one of the best seasons in school history as it won its third straight Ivy League title, spent a majority of the season nationally ranked, including three straight weeks in the top 10 to finish the regular season, and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA FCS Playoffs, which marked the Ivy League's first year of postseason eligibility.
