Boston College senior offensive tackle Marc Parenteau (Pompano Beach, FL) has been named to the All-BIG EAST first team while senior center Dan Koppen (Whitehall, PA), junior tight end Sean Ryan (Buffalo, NY), junior running back Derrick Knight (Westwood, MA) and junior placekicker Sandro Sciortino (Markham, Ontario, Canada) all have been picked for the second team, the league announced on Tuesday.
As a key part of an offensive line that helped BC finish third in the BIG EAST in total offense and second in passing offense, Parenteau started every game for the Eagles at right tackle. He and his fellow linemen, including Koppen, helped pave the way for Knight to finish the regular season with 1,367 yards rushing and for quarterback Brian St. Pierre to finish with 2,641 yards passing.
Koppen was named All-BIG EAST for the third consecutive year. Ryan caught 23 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns this season, an average of 23.3 receiving yards per game. Sciortino, the Eagles' leading scorer on the year with 92 points, connected on 20 of 29 field goal attempts and finished second in the BIG EAST in field goal percentage.
