Spencer Rymiszewski was elected Captain for the 2017 squad after missing all of 2016 recovering from double shoulder surgery. Rymiszewski was a 1st Team All-Ivy performer in 2015 and the secondary welcomes him back with open arms.
On the topic of All-Ivy performers, Yale players were snubbed from 1st Team honors, but Alan Lamar (RB) and Jason Alessi (PR) earned 2nd Team honors. Dale Harris, Mason Friedline, Marty Moesta, Karl Marback, Kyle Mullen, Matt Oplinger, and Darius Manora all received honorable mention.

Thank you both! We’re up to 17 now and have some big recruiting weekends ahead of us.
I HAVE NOT SEEN A PLAYER WHO HAS COMMITTED TO YALE SINCE AUGUST.
Is Stephen Vashel still on the staff
I believe he is
He’s certainly still on the website.
YALE FANS ! GUESS WHO WAS THE PATRIOT LEAGUE FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR ? HE PLAYS FOR COLGATE.
Too bad that seniors like Friedline and Manora weren’t honored with higher than Honorable Mention. Oplinger was absolutely awesome vs. Harvard.
YALE RECRUIT:
MICHAEL PURVEY, RB, 5 ‘ 10 “, 190 LBS. STRAKE JESUIT H.S., HOUSTON, TX.
Many thanks, Ray. I hope Thomas Vissman is given a look at RB. From his tapes it’s obvious he’s powerful and it looks as though he may have some speed.
Melvin Rousse, CB, 5-9, 170lbs, Charlotte, NC. Had an offer from Duke. Rated by 247 Sports as two stars.
Rouse looks like a good pickup to boost the perennially ailing secondary. Is it just me or do we always seem lacking on big linemen every year? Some big Offensive and Defensive guys up front can do wonders for a team.
Yes, Bulldogs1234. We brought in some great OLs and DLs this fall, but not many in 2021 so far.
Not sure about the Dline but they have 3 Offensive Lineman committed who all have a chance of playing early. Also have heard they have a 4th that should be made public soon and he fits the bill as well. Another Defensive End with an impressive offer sheet is also in the fold but is holding off on announcing. Have not heard anything on run stoppers.
Zane Dudek, RB, 5’10”, Kittenning, PA. 2 stars. Offers from Army, Air Force Brown, Bucknell, Columbia, Harvard, Kent St, Penn and Princeton amongst others.
Can we update the list here and on the ILSB to include Zane Dudek?
SASHA HOBAN, 6′ 4″ , 245 LBS., T/E, NEWTON SOUTH H.S., NEWTON, MASS.
Thanks Ray for the sleuthing. Here is the scouting report on Hoban. Looks like he’ll be a good player for Yale.

Now’s the time to go prospecting for monsters in CA, FL, GA, and maybe a few more in TX.
HOW ABOUT SOME UPDATES !
Can we add Tyler Jost to our list of recruits? Also, any way to confirm (or not) Michael Purvey’s commitment to Yale? It is on his Twitter account, but not by 247.
How about some updates to the list? Thanks!
Please add Deonte Hensen, CB and Grant Neagli, OT, to the list. Thanks.
