Phil Berton, David Emanuels and Kyran McKinney-Crudden all earned their spot on the prestigious team.
HANOVER, N.H. — The 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-District Football Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), were announced today with three Dartmouth seniors listed among the 25 players for District I — offensive lineman Phil Berton, linebacker David Emanuels and nickelback Kyran McKinney-Crudden.
Berton, a 6-5, 275-pound native of Oak Park, Illinois, has started every game this season at right tackle for the 20th-ranked Big Green that averages 32.3 points a game. An environmental studies major with a 3.41 GPA, Berton is part of an offensive line that has paved the way for the 14th-best rushing offense (242.4 yards per game) and allowed a mere five sacks all season, fourth fewest in the FCS. During his four years at Dartmouth, he has played every position along the offensive line, including center and tight end, but has anchored himself at right tackle throughout the entire 2018 campaign.
Hailing from Mercer Island, Washington, Emanuels is a biomedical engineering major with a 3.96 GPA and is third on the Big Green with 47 tackles, including a career-high 11 in a 35-24 victory at Cornell last week. He is part of a Dartmouth defense that ranks fourth nationally in fewest points allowed (12.6 per game), sixth against the run (91.1 yards allowed per game) and seventh in total defense (284.0 ypg). Among his 47 stops are 2.5 tackles for a loss, and he forced one of four recovered fumbles in the Big Green's first win over Harvard in 15 years.
McKinney-Crudden is one of Dartmouth's three team captains as a fifth-year senior. The engineering major with a 3.45 GPA is from Glastonbury, Connecticut, and is a big part of the nationally ranked defense, leading the team with 59 tackles, three going for a loss. McKinney-Crudden has also recovered two fumbles, forced another, intercepted a pass and broken up three others. His season-high 12 tackles led the Big Green in the 24-17 victory over Harvard, and he has 141 tackles in his career.
Every Ivy League school was represented with a total of 20 players named to an all-district team, and only Harvard (7) had more than Dartmouth's three.
The first-team all-district honorees from the eight districts across the country will now go on the ballot for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in December.
