PRINCETON, N.J. – Dante Reno of the Yale football team was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week after a career performance in the Bulldogs' season-opening 38-28 victory over Holy Cross.

The junior quarterback completed 30-of-43 passes for 454 yards and five touchdowns without an interception, setting career highs in each category while leading Yale to 524 yards of total offense.

His 454 passing yards rank second in Yale single-game history, just 11 yards shy of the program record of 465 set by Griffin O'Connor against Princeton in 2018. Reno also recorded the first 400-yard passing performance by a Yale quarterback since Grant Jordan threw for 412 yards against Dartmouth in 2024. His five touchdown passes were the most by a Bulldog since Jordan threw six against Brown in 2024.

On Sunday, the New England Football Writers Association honored Reno with its weekly Gold Helmet Award for his performance. Reno is the first Yale player to earn the Gold Helmet Award since quarterback Nolan Grooms received the honor on Oct. 1, 2023.

The Bulldogs return to action for their Ivy opener on Saturday, Sept. 26, on the road at Cornell.
