Corbo, Lemieux and Zalc Named Stats Perform Preseason All-Americans

HANOVER, N.H. — Three members of the Dartmouth football team have been named Stats Perform Preseason All-Americans, as announced by the organization on Tuesday. Tight end Chris Corbo and offensive lineman Delby Lemieux were named to the first team, with placekicker Owen Zalc earning second-team honors. The three honorees mark the most in the Ivy League.

Following last season, Corbo was a first team All-Ivy honoree, while also earning first team All-America by the AFCA and Walter Camp. He enjoyed a stellar junior season, leading the Big Green with seven touchdown receptions — the most by a Dartmouth player since Drew Estrada had eight in 2019. Corbo was also an Associated Press honorable mention All-American. His 32 receptions were second on the team, while his 315 yards were third. Corbo had a touchdown in seven of the 10 games in a remarkably consistent season. His seven receiving touchdowns were second nationally amongst tight ends, while his 1.4 touchdowns per game lead the country amongst his position.

An AP honorable mention All-American in 2024, Lemieux was first team All-Ivy while also garnering second team All-America recognition from FCS Football Central. As an anchor of the offensive line, the Big Green finished top 20 nationally in fewest sacks allowed while finishing third in the Ivy League in rushing offense (166.5 yards per game).

The reigning Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Year, Zalc finished the 2024 season 13-of-17 on field goals, with impressive range. Zalc knocked through a program-record 54-yard field goal against Harvard. At Merrimack, he had a 50-yarder, while also converting the game-winning 32-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to wrap up a hard-fought 16-14 win. Also a first team All-Ivy honoree for a second straight season, Zalc was named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week three times — following that Merrimack win, the following week after Penn and after the record kick against the Crimson.
