Staples 2000 grad Dave Kashetta has been elected a tri-captain of the Boston College football team, it was announced today.
Shortly before practice today Coach Tom O’Brien announced that defensive tackle Tim Bulman (Milton, Mass,), defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka (Indianapolis, Ind.), and tight end Kashetta were elected 2004 captains by a team vote.
Kiwanuka was an All-Big East first-team selection last year and has been named to several preseason All-America teams.
Bulman is an all-star candidate who has been a solid member of the defensive unit in all three previous seasons.
Kashetta saw significant action in all 13 of BC’s games last year and takes over the starting tight end spot vacated by the graduated Sean Ryan.
The team opens at Ball State on Thursday, Sept. 2. The Sept. 11 home opener vs. Penn State will kick off at 8 p.m. and will be televised by ABC.
Dave: Congratulations; we are proud of you as I know your folks are as well. Take it easy on the Irish this year! regards, the Driscolls
