ALL-ACC HONORS

Six Boston College football players were named to the 2008 All-ACC Football Team. Those receiving all ACC First Team Honors were:

Junior LB Mark Herzlich,
Senior DT B.J. Raji, and
Senior OG Clif Ramsey.

Senior DT Ron Brace, sophomore OT and rising star Anthony Castonzo, and senior TE Ryan Purvis (who was a First Team All ACC selection in 2007) were each voted to the All-ACC Second Team.

Paul Anderson, Thomas Claiborne, and Matt Tennant earned Honorable Mention honors.

Virginia Tech Corner Back Victor "Macho" Harris was the only Hokie to make the All-ACC First Team Roster.


MANCHILD PART TWO
Herzlich leads the BC defense with 98 tackles, seven pass break-ups, six interceptions, and two forced fumbles.

Herzlich ranks 5th in the nation in tackles per game with 6.17.

Herzlich's six interceptions ties the amount that all BC linebackers had in 2007. He also has the 5th best interception total in the country and is one of just two linebackers in the nation with six interceptions. He is one of three linebackers in the country with two interception returns for touchdowns.


YOUNG GUNS
True Freshman Montel Harris continues his strong campaign recording five 100-yard games and breaking the freshman rushing record at Boston College. Harris along with fellow freshman sensation Josh Haden are the second-best true freshman running back pair in the country with an average of 112.40 yards per game.
