Dan Koppen`02 (Football):
Koppen made his mark as the center on Boston College's strong offensive line before moving on to start for the New England Patriots. He was a three-year starter for the Eagles and head coach Tom O'Brien from 1998-2002. The Whitehall, Pennsylvania, native earned all-conference honors in each of his final three collegiate seasons and helped pave the way for BC attacks that featured a 1,000-yard rusher each year. He was named to the 2001 Rimington Trophy watch list as a junior and was a 2002 finalist for the award, presented annually to the top center in college football. Koppen was member of the team that posted four winning seasons and won three bowl games. He went on to a 10-year NFL career, highlighted by two Super Bowl championships with the New England Patriots and a Pro Bowl selection in 2007. Koppen, who was named to the Patriots All-Decade team, currently works for ComcastSports.net as a football analyst.
