Seniors Jon Baker and Kamrin Moore named team captains

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior center Jon Baker and senior defensive back Kamrin Moore were voted team captains by their teammates, Boston College head coach Steve Addazio announced Friday.

Baker enters 2017 with 26 consecutive starts at center, the longest current streak on the team. The Millis, Mass., native was named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, an award given annually to the nation’s top center. A two-time ACC All-Academic team selection and three-time Athletic Director’s award winner for academic achievement, Baker enters the season as one of the top centers in the ACC. Baker has played in 35 consecutive games.

Moore enters 2017 after starting all 13 games last season for the Eagles. The District Heights, Md., product recorded 43 tackles a year ago and totaled two interceptions, including the game-winning INT in the road victory at NC State. For his career, Moore has played in 34 games and has made 21 starts over the last 21 games he has played in.

Boston College returns 46 letter-winners and 17 starters in 2017 after the Eagles won three consecutive games to close out the 2016 season, including a 36-30 win over Big Ten foe Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl. It was the first bowl win for the Eagles since 2007 as BC went to the postseason for the third time in the previous four seasons.

BC opens the 2017 season Friday, Sept. 1 at Northern Illinois (9:30 p.m.) on CBS Sports Network. The Eagles open the 2017 home schedule on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. vs. Wake Forest (ACC Network Extra).
