Fifth-year linebacker Jacob Dobbs was named to the 2023 Walter Camp FCS All-America Team. It is the latest All-America honor for Dobbs, who has earned the same recognition from the AFCA, Stats Perform, Associated Press and FCS Football Central. 

Dobbs was named the 2023 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in program history to earn the honor twice after earning the same honor in 2021. He additionally was named a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, the 2023 Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. He also received the 2023 Comeback Player of the Year Award. 

He concluded the 2023 season with 123 tackles (63 solo), 12 tackles for loss, six quarterback sacks, three forced fumbles and 14 quarterback hurries. He recorded double-digit tackles in every contest; his 13.7 tackles per game and 7.0 solo tackles per game both ranked as the second-best marks in the nation. 

He is now a four-time All-Patriot League selection and three-time first team honoree, and has earned All-New England honors twice in his career. He set a program record with 46.5 career tackles for loss and a Patriot League record with a total of 432 career tackles.
