William Green:Â
One of the most exciting running backs in program history, William Green was a consensus first-team All-American in 2001 as he ran for 1,559 yards and scored 15 touchdowns. A native of Atlantic City, N.J., Green arrived at BC as a much heralded recruit and lived up to his potential as he scored four touchdowns as a rookie and was used as a short-yardage back. He started only two games in his second season but rushed for 1,164 yards with 14 touchdowns. He was the second-leading rusher in the conference and 20th in the country. In Green's final season, he rushed for 100 or more yards in nine of 10 games and 200 yards in two games. He is second on the all-time list for rushing touchdowns with 22. He ranks fourth for most TD's in a single season (15) and is the sixth-leading rusher in program history. He was drafted 16th by the Cleveland Browns in 2001 and currently is a full-time Evangelist and motivational speaker.
Paul Zukauskas '01:Â
Paul Zukauskas was another success story of the much-heralded offensive line tradition at Boston College. A native of Weymouth, Mass., Zukauskas was the first true freshman to start on the offensive line in 20 years when he arrived on campus in 1997. Zukauskas proceeded to start all but one game in the next four seasons. As a senior, Zukauskas led an offensive line that allowed only six sacks the entire season and earned a third-place ranking by the conference for total offense. Zukauskas was a first-team All-America selection by American Football Coaches Association, second team Walter Camp All-American, first team All-Big East and Outland Trophy Watch List in 2000. Â Zukauskas was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2001 and played professionally for five years. Zukauskas is now the head football coach and director of admissions at Lawrence Academy.
