HANOVER, N.H. — Following a historic rookie season, rising sophomore kicker Owen Zalc was named a Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-American on Monday, earning a spot on the third team. He was one of only three Ivy League student-athletes to earn the All-America honor.
Â
Last season, Zalc broke the program record for field goals (connecting on 17-of-21), while also breaking the Ivy mark for field goals in league play (14). He was named first team All-Ivy League and was named an FCS Freshman All-American, while also earning a spot on the Division I All-New England Team. Zalc received Dartmouth football's Earl Hamilton Freshman Award after the season as well.
Â
Among Zalc's field goals were clutch kicks at Penn (in overtime) and vs. Princeton (in the final two minutes of regulation) to lead Dartmouth to victories.
