The University of Pennsylvania's football team has seen three of its athletes honored with All-ECAC selections, as announced by the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Sophomore Malachi Hosley, senior Shiloh Means, and senior Albert Jang were recognized for their performances in the 2024 season.

Hosley, a sophomore running back, was named to the All-ECAC team for his offensive contributions. Following an impressive freshman year where he received Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors, Hosley continued to excel by earning unanimous first-team All-Ivy recognition and winning the Asa S. Bushnell Cup as Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. He led the Ivy League in various rushing categories including carries, yards, touchdowns, yards per carry, and yards per game.

Shiloh Means was recognized for his defensive efforts. The senior defensive back completed a strong final season with Penn by achieving first-team All-Ivy honors for a second consecutive year. Means finished with notable statistics including 11 pass breakups and three interceptions over 10 games.

Albert Jang received recognition on special teams after leading the Ivy League in punting average during his senior year. His performance included nine punts inside the 20-yard line and a career-long punt of 71 yards against Harvard. Jang also stood out academically as Penn's Academic All-Ivy representative and was named one of 10 semifinalists for the FCS Punter of the Year award.

These recognitions underscore significant achievements from Penn's players throughout their season.
