Landmark Conference Yearbook

In 2024, the River Hawks had one of the greatest seasons in football program history winning a record 12 games en route to their second straight Landmark Conference championship and the NCAA Division III semifinals. Susquehanna won three NCAA playoff games, another program record, playing host to two of them on campus. 

Receiving a first-round bye, the River Hawks hosted Hobart in the second round, beating the Statesmen, 42–35. They then went off to Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minn., stunning the Johnnies with a walk-off field goal, 41–38. It was then back home where the River Hawks played host again to Bethel in the national quarterfinals, dethroning the Royals, 24–21, to earn their first national semifinals appearance since 1991 against eventual 2024 national champion North Central.

At year’s end, Susquehanna had 20 All-Landmark selections and three major award winners in linebacker Garrett Carter, who was named the Defensive Player of the Year, quarterback Josh Ehrlich, who earned Offensive Player of the Year, and running back/returner Rahshan La Mons, who was voted the Rookie of the Year.  The three were also tabbed D3football.com All-Region 2 alongside wide receiver/returner Kyle Howes, left tackle Nick Gonzalez, and defensive lineman Brian Layton. Coach Perkovich and his staff earned the region’s Coaching Staff of the Year. La Mons was also tabbed a D3football.com Third Team All-American.
 
Nationally, Susquehanna ranked fourth in both the AFCA and D3football.com year-end polls. Ehrlich was a semifinalist for the John Gagliardi Trophy Presented by Stearns
