* Theodhosi was second on Brown in rushing as a sophomore before missing the past two years. He should be eligible this fall if he is healthy and chooses to return.

+ Marsh led Penn in rushing as a freshman but had season-ending injuries after two games as a sophomore and four games as a junior.

The Columbia Spectator has a look at offensive tackle Jeff Adams' draft prospects that includes this:

Over the past five years, 20 offensive tackles, on average, have been selected in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft. Adams is generally ranked as one of the top 15-25 offensive tackle prospects in this year’s draft class.

Kudos to the players and coaches at Penn for this, as noted on the school's football website:

Last year, two Penn football players saved two lives due to the team's annual 'Be the Match' Donor Registration Drive. On Friday, the Quakers are asking for your help for the same opportunity as part of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP).
