Live Updates: Boston College at 2024 ACC Football Kickoff
It’s a new era for the Boston College Eagles football program.
Although the official start to the season starts in 39 days with a Labor Day Night contest against Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla., the unofficial start to the season starts on Wednesday afternoon with the Eagles appearance at the 2024 ACC Football Kickoff, also known as “Media Days.”
After going 7-6 last season, winning the 2023 Wasabi Fenway Bowl, and hiring Mass., native Bill O’Brien to be the team’s next head coach after the departure of former coach Jeff Hafley, the expectations for the program are high heading into the upcoming season.
The team is one of multiple teams talking today, joining Miami, Louisville, Duke, and Wake Forest. This will be the first time that fans and media members get to hear from O’Brien in a professional setting since the spring.
O’Brien will start the team’s day off with an interview on ACC Network at 10:45 a.m., followed by his press conference at 12:45 p.m. Quarterback Thomas Castellanos, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku, and offensive lineman Drew Kendall will speak at the podium as well. Castellanos will speak with ACC Network at 2:15 p.m. and both Ezeiruaku and Kendall will talk to the network together at 3:30 p.m. (all times are in Eastern).
