By: Justin Lafleur
HANOVER, N.H.  — Dartmouth football standout offensive lineman Delby Lemieux has accepted a spot in the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl, the top college football all-star game held in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 2:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network. It's the longest continually running all-star game in football, drawing hundreds of NFL personnel and media members.
Â
"I'm incredibly excited and honored to have been given this opportunity," said Lemieux. "I'm grateful to have had the support of our team over the last four years and everyone from the program who helped me develop as a player and person, and especially thankful for my family and friends who have pushed me to achieve my goals."
Â
Lemieux was named a postseason All-American by multiple outlets, including the Associated Press (first team), Phil Steele (second team) and Stats Perform (third team).
Â
Lemieux was a key part of an offensive line that paved the way for running back D.J. Crowther his first year as starter; the Big Green finished third in the Ivy League in rushing offense (163.3). Both quarterback Grayson Saunier and Crowther reached the end zone double-figure times, the first Dartmouth duo to do so since 1996. The Big Green stand fifth in the country in fewest sacks allowed per game (0.80). Lemieux is now a three-time All-Ivy honoree, garnering honorable mention as a sophomore then first team each of the last two years.
 As described on the Senior Bowl website:
