PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Eleven members of the Brown football team combined for 13 Phil Steele Preseason All-Ivy honors, the organization has announced. Two Bears landed on the first and second teams, while eight honorees landed on the third team.
Reigning Ivy League and Phil Steele Ivy League Rookie of the Year Matt Childs helps headline the first team at running back, along with linebacker John Perdue. Perdue had previously earned a spot on the Phil Steele Second Team in 2024.
A pair of seniors in receiver Solomon Miller and defensive back Elias Archie landed on the preseason second team. Archie was a member of Phil Steele's Third Team last season and earned Second Team All-Ivy honors, as selected by the league's head coaches.
Eight players combined for nine third team honors with Qwentin Brown (RB), Chason Barber (WR), Ty Pezza (WR), Beau Smith (OL), Sam Smith (LB), Ryan Haley (LB), Nick Hudson (DB) and Solomon Miller (AP/PR). Last season, Hudson was named to Phil Steel's Fourth Team, while Beau Smith and Childs each landed on the publication's Freshman All-America Team.
