Image courtesy of Holy Cross Athletics On Thursday evening, Holy Cross will be back on a field as a team for the first time since the soul-crushing defeat in the FCS playoffs. With guys like Matt Sluka and Jalen Coker back offense and some familiar faces on defense, there’s little reason to believe that HC can’t have another magical season and make another deep playoff run. Now, in fairness, going…
CAMBRIDGE – Harvard may have hosted an NFL Pro Day for 11 guys on Thursday, but it soon turned into a show featuring three guys from Merrimack and one from Bryant. The Bulldogs are coming off their inaugural season as a Big South School and were competitive in just about every single game last season.

Through two years, Hafley got the Eagles to two bowl games, yet BC couldn’t play in either of them due to Covid issues. A year later, Hafley watched as his roster was decimated by injuries and went 3-9. Now, entering his fourth season, the pressure is on and everyone…

Here are five areas to watch as the Wildcats kick off spring…
Image courtesy of @andybackstrom It’s tough to have a better couple months than Zay Flowers is having. With his draft stock soaring despite being on a 3-9 team last year, the guy that holds every major receiving record at Boston College went and worked with the Patriots coaching staff in Las Vegas. Now, this weekend Flowers – in front of his now former head coach Troy Brown – has consistently…
Image courtesy of Holy Cross Athletics The first two versions of the EBW Football Classic at Polar Park have been over at halftime. The two blowout victories have been a fantastic experience for those wearing purple and white, but in such a special setting, more competitive games are really what we should all be looking for. The first two games against Colgate and Bucknell at the home of the WooSox have…
Sacred Heart kicked off Spring practice on Monday. The Pioneers are coming off of a difficult 5-6 season in which there were staff changes, injuries and inconsistency. The Pioneers were the preseason favorite in the NEC but ultimately failed to live up to expectations. Familiar faces such as quarterback Marquez McCray and defensive end Kevin Peprah are gone but the Pioneers had a strong recruiting class, adding 26 total prospects….
After earning All Big South honors last season, Zevi Eckhaus is back to lead the Bulldogs offense. Bryant opened spring ball last week and on Thursday I visited with the Bulldogs. Coming off a 4-7 season, Bryant is looking to turn things around after losing multiple close games last season. Bryant returns quarterback Zevi Eckhaus and all five starters on the offensive line as well as several key skill players….
