CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard University senior running back Aidan Borguet, senior defensive lineman Truman Jones, and junior tight end Tyler Neville have all earned NEFW Division I All-New England honors, the New England Football Writers announced on Sunday.
Borguet – an unanimous First Team All-Ivy selection and a CSC Academic All-Distrisct choice – ran for 1,182 rushing yards this past season, ranking fifth all-time in Harvard single-season history and becoming just the eighth running back in program history to break the 1,000-yard plateau in a single season. For his career, he rushed for 2,429 yards, ranking eighth all-time in program history. Borguet earned a spot on the Walter Payton Award Watch List, given to the nation’s best offensive player.
Jones—an unanimous First Team All-Ivy selection and a CSC Academic All-District choice—led the Ivy League in tackles for loss (13.0) and ranked third in the conference in sacks (6.0), while standing fourth in the NCAA this past season in blocked kicks (three). A semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, given to the nation’s premier football scholar-athlete, he earned the 2022 Bulger Lowe Award, given to New England’s best defensive player.
Neville – a First Team All-Ivy honoree – caught 26 passes for 302 yards and a team-high-tying four touchdowns this pass fall. His 26 catches ranked second on the team while all four of his TDs came against Ivy League opponents. Neville caught at least one ball in all 10 games. He tallied a season-high five receptions vs. Princeton (season-high 78 yards) and at Penn (60 yards). A big play threat, his single-game long catch surpassed 20 yards five times.
Thirty-five all-stars representing all 16 Division I colleges and universities that sponsor football in New England FBS and FCS gained selection to the 2022 New England Football Writers Association All-New England team. The team honors the best FBS and FCS players by position in New England from the 2022 season.
The players represent teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big South Conference, the Colonial Athletic Association, the Ivy League, the Northeast Conference, and the Patriot League. Additionally, players were chosen from independents Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Undefeated Holy Cross, the Patriot League champion, leads the team with seven selections. Bryant University is second with four. Both Harvard and New Hampshire have three picks, while Central Connecticut State, Dartmouth, Maine, UConn, Rhode Island, and Ivy League champion Yale have two picks each. Additional players selected are from Boston College, Brown, Merrimack, Sacred Heart, Stonehill, and UMass.
