Boston College Football Completes Day Three of Fall Camp, The Rundown: August 6, 2024
The Boston College football team completed its third day of fall camp on Monday.
“It was good,” said head coach Bill O’Brien. “First day in shoulder pads. These guys definitely came to practice. What you’re trying to do in training camp is lay the foundation for the season so you’re trying to get them calloused to what the season might be like. I thought these guys responded pretty well. It was very intense and I really like the way they practice.”
The offense’s outing was highlighted by the quarterbacks with Thomas Castellanos still impressing with his dual-threat ability and connected with wide receiver Lewis Bond for multiple first downs, while tight end Jeremiah Franklin also tallied a pair of first downs.
On the other side of the ball, the defense’s day was highlighted by defensive back Sione Hala’s pick-six.
Fall camp continues on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Countdown to Boston College football’s season opener:
27 days.
