NOV 24 IVY LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: Ryan Tattersall, Harvard,...Harvard Football first-year Ryan Tattersall has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.

NOV 24 IVY LEAGUE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Santiago Sturla, Penn,...With the University of Pennsylvania football team's 2025 season finished, senior punter Santiago Sturla was named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday afternoon. The honor is Penn's ninth of the season and the first of Sturla's career. It's the fifth Special Teams Player of the Week honor the Quakers claimed this year, tying a program record set in 2008. Sturla was excellent in the punting game as Penn took down Princeton, 17-6, Saturday at Franklin Field. He punted four times for 131 yards, had a long of 40 yards, and had two punts land inside the 20-yard line. Most notably, none of Sturla's punts were returned which adds to a successful season for punt defense. Penn allowed just three punts for -12 yards all season long, the first team in FCS history to allow negative yardage throughout a year. - Ivy League Football
