For years, BC has churned out top-notch big men on the offensive line-take Chris Lindstrom, for example, drafted No. 14 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Looking to carry on the legacy this year are Zion Johnson and Ben Petrula, who the Eagles voted on to become two of their 2020 captains. Senior linebacker Max Richardson and junior defensive end Marcus Valdez also heard their names called as captains during Wednesday's practice. Running back Travis Levy fills out the final spot as the fifth player to don a capital "C" on the front of his jersey.

"One of the main things is just instincts when it comes to starters-just knowing what's going on on the field through experience," Johnson said during a press conference Wednesday. "We have returners like Ben Petrula and Tyler Vrabel and Alec Lindstrom, so we have that experience, and we work well together. So even with the new scheme, that relationship is still there." Though Johnson is a senior, this year is only in his second year with the Eagles, as he spent his first few years of eligibility with Davidson. But in his first year at BC in 2019, Johnson played 42 snaps off the bench in the season opener against Virginia Tech. He appeared in all 13 games last season, including seven starts, en route to an All-ACC Second Team selection. This year, he earned a Preseason All-ACC selection, and sports analyst Phil Steele named him a Preseason All-American. - The Heights

09/07/20 - *Hunter Long, rJr/2021, Boston College, 6-5, 254 (DS#3 TE) + More +

Boston College tight end Hunter Long blocks like a sixth lineman and stretches the field like a wide receiver. That combination of quality attributes will be put to use in BC's new TE-friendly multiple pro set schemes being implemented by offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti. "He can be a huge weapon and even more important is his blocking," said BC coach Jeff Hafley. "When you find a tight end that is successful in the pass game they are usually not as good of a blocker. "You are looking at the complete tight end. He can line up and help us a ton in the run game and at the same time he can flex out and mix in as another receiver for you."

Long led the team with 509 receiving yards on 28 catches last season in former coach Steve Addazio's two tight end "12 personnel" power run scheme. The 6-5, 253-pounder, from Exeter, N.H., averaged 18.8 yards per catch, an absurd number for a pass-eligible appendage on the offensive line. Speedy wide receivers Kobay White and Zay Flowers averaged 15.9 and 15.5 yards per catch, respectively. Long matches up well against two now-NFL tight ends to come out of the ACC in the last four years, BC's Tommy Sweeney (Bills) and Ryan Izzo (Patriots) of Florida State. "He creates a weapon really anywhere on the field when you get into certain field positions," said Hafley. "I'm just really glad he's here and I like the way he works and he handles everything like a pro." - Boston Herald

09/04/20 - Travis Levy, rSr/2022, Boston College, 5-11, 202 (DS#90 RB) + More +

Tailback Travis Levy is an all-purpose H-back type that could fill a variety of roles in offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti's new multiple pro-style offense. Tailback David Bailey served as an accomplished understudy last season to AJ Dillon, a three-time All-ACC ballcarrier who was a third-round pick by the Green Bay Packers. Bailey rushed for 816 yards on 140 carries with seven touchdowns along with nine catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. Bailey will be the Eagles' every-down back and expects to touch the rock 20 to 25 times a game.

Levy has an opportunity to establish his place in the offense as a third-down back on screens and wheel routes out the backfield or as a slot receiver in the spread. Ben Glines was the Eagles' hybrid back last season and Levy possess many of the same skills. "I'm looking forward to whatever role the coaches try and put me in and have an opportunity to make plays on the field," said Levy. "I plan on playing running back and I've been working with the running backs in the room. "This is a great opportunity to develop my run game and last year I was a receiver. I've been working on both all camp and it's been good." - Boston Herald

2020 WUERFFEL TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Isaiah Graham-Mobley, Temple, senior, linebacker,...Graham-Mobley has been one of the most productive Temple players both on and off the field. He was the team's third leading tackler in 2018 with 70 stops and was among the team leaders again in 2019 before missing the final five games with an injury. He reached these marks despite not starting a single game. He was the first non-starter in school history to earn a single-digit jersey - an honor reserved for Temple's toughest players. Currently a graduate student with a bachelor's degree in Media Studies and Production, the Upper Merion, Pa., native is engaged in nearly every activity that the team has trumpeted but more importantly, used his influence as team leader to recruit more players to participate and represent Temple in the community. - Temple Football
