The Crimson will be led in 2026 by team captain and running back Xaviah Bascon, along with four All-America candidates in Spencer Doan (OL), Damien Henderson (DB), Thomas O'Brien (OL) and Sean Line (LB). All five players were All-Ivy League selections in '25, with Doan, O'Brien and Line earning first-team accolades. Bascon and Henderson, meanwhile, were second-team picks.
