Why it matters

ACC Football Kickoff is a crucial annual event that helps build excitement and anticipation for the upcoming college football season. As one of the conference's prominent programs, Boston College's participation allows the team to showcase its players, share offseason updates, and generate media coverage ahead of the new year.

The details

At the event, Boston College will send its head coach as well as several student-athletes to speak to the media about offseason training, the upcoming schedule, new faces on the team, and more.

This year, Price is the lone returner, as Bond and Taylor have moved on to the NFL, while Crouch entered the transfer portal.
