SELINSGROVE, PA - Another Landmark Conference football banner season for Susquehanna resulted in another big year in the All-Conference selections. The River Hawks took home all four major awards, with quarterback Josh Ehrlich selected as the Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. Defensive lineman Galen Limantour received the league's Defensive Player of the Year, while first-year wideout Daniel Growney parlayed his team-leading receiving efforts into the Landmark's Rookie of the Year. Head coach Tom Perkovich and staff earned Landmark Coaching Staff of the Year after leading the team to its third straight Landmark championship towards its fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. 

The team covered the All-Landmark board with 21 total selections, including 12 First Team recipients in Ehrlich (Quarterback), Limantour (Defensive Line), Growney (Wide Receiver) Michael Robbins (Tight End), Rahshan La Mons (Running Back), Connor Main (Offensive Line), Liam Reiley (Offensive Line), Jesse Ruisch (Linebacker), Xavier Maple (Defensive Back), Berkeley Wagner (Defensive Back), Brian Layton (Defensive Line), and Dominic Bourgeois (Kicker). They acquired seven more Second Team selections in Carter McCauley (Wide Receiver), Matt Liggio (Offensive Line), Ethan Watkins (Offensive Line), Luke Hughes (Linebacker), Steven Seibert (Linebacker), Ben Fleming (Defensive Back), and Aaron Angelo (Returner). Defensive linemen Jaydon Handy and Tim Pherson Jr. were chosen Honorable Mention. 

Faced with replacing a couple of key positions this fall, many River Hawks stepped into those roles to keep the team's momentum going. Their four-game, non-conference slate to open the season included a 2-0 start after lopsided wins over Union and Bridgewater. Week 3 featured a top five showdown between No. 4/5 Susquehanna and No. 3 Johns Hopkins, which favored the Blue Jays, who also clinched an at-large spot in the NCAA Tournament. The following week the River Hawks traveled to play another NCAA-bound team in Christopher Newport, coming up short against the eventual NJAC Champions. The winner of Saturday's game will advance to play Christopher Newport in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. 

Despite these setbacks Susquehanna marched on through its Landmark Conference slate, going 6-0 for the third straight year by a combined score of 302-37, an average of 50.3 points scored per game and 6.2 points allowed per game. Quarterback Josh Ehrlich was twice named the Landmark Offensive Athlete of the Week, completing 185-of-258 for 2,150 yards and 25 touchdowns against just one interception. He also ran for 609 yards on 110 carries with four rushing TDs. Leading the running game for the second straight year was sophomore Rahshan La Mons. Despite sitting out the first two games due to injury the 2024 D3football.com All-American selection rushed for 640 yards on 118 carries with nine touchdowns. Kicker/punter Dominic Bourgeois was chosen as the Landmark's Specialist of the Week five times this fall, as well as one D3football.com Team of the Week selection, as he set a school record with 16 made field goals on the year on as many attempts. He also leads NCAA Division III in this category. The offensive line went through several iterations this fall to combat a few injuries, though they remained solid in protecting its playmakers as SU mounted 4,863 total yards between 2,831 passing yards and 2,032 rushing. Together with backup quarterback Tommy Wright's six touchdown passes the River Hawks totaled 31 touchdown throws, with first-year receiver Daniel Growney leading with six touchdown receptions and a team-leading 541 receiving yards on 44 catches. Senior receiver Hunter Morgenroth caught four touchdown passes and ranked second on the team with 368 receiving yards on 28 catches. Fellow senior wideout Carter McCauley hauled in five touchdown catches while ranking third with 340 receiving yards on 19 receptions. 

The defense played superb all season long as the team posted one shutout on the year against new Landmark foe Western Connecticut State 34-0, as well as the defense shutting out Lycoming's offense all day in a 69-7 win, the first of two games this year where SU set a season high with 69 points. Catholic was the only Landmark school to reach double digits in scoring against the River Hawks as Susquehanna delivered another 69-point performance in a 69-13 Homecoming victory. Susquehanna forced 16 turnovers, including 12 interceptions where four defenders totaled two each on the season - Romero Lavalais Jr., Kayvon Waters, Xavier Maple, and Berkeley Wagner, the latter of which returned one for a touchdown in the season opener against Union. Defensive lineman Galen Limantour led the way with six sacks and 14 tackles for loss, while garnering 41 total tackles with 21 solo and seven quarterback hurries. The defensive unit also limited its opposition to just a 24.8 percent third-down conversation rate (31-125) and 7-of-19 fourth down conversions (36.84 percent). The team had one more Landmark Athlete of the Week selection in Brennen Miller, who picked up a Special Teams Athlete of the Week nod with his help in the return coverage.
