Focus: Wide Receivers

Returners: Jehlani Galloway (RFr.), Ben Glines (Gr.), Noah Jordan-Williams (RSo.), Travis Levy (Jr.), CJ Lewis (Jr.), Elijah Robinson (Gr.), Kobay White (RJr.)
Newcomers: Zay Flowers (Fr.), Clifford Kurker (Gr.) Bryce Sebastian (Fr.), Ethon Williams (Fr.)

White led BC with 33 receptions a year ago and has totaled 67 catches and 949 yards in his first two seasons on the field. He came on strong early in 2018 with all three of his touchdown receptions coming in the first three weeks. White finished the season strong with a four-catch night against Clemson and his second career 100-yard game; a seven-catch, 121-yard performance at Florida State.

Throughout his career, Glines has split his offensive snaps between running back and wide receiver. This year he is joined by Levy, who spent much of the last two seasons' as the Eagles' third-down back, as a swing player between the two positions. Glines was third on BC in 2018 with 589 all-purpose yards, including 380 on the ground. He added 12 catches, 170 yards and four of his seven touchdowns in the passing game. Levy rushed for 215 yards as a sophomore with 19 catches, which ranked fourth, for 160 yards.

Veterans adding depth to the BC receiving corps include Robinson and Lewis. Robinson, who missed his senior campaign due to injury, entered camp healthy. He contributed primarily on special teams in 2016 and 2017 after posting 11 catches as a freshman in 2015. Lewis got on the field for five games as a freshman and followed up by playing all 12 games at receiver and on special teams in 2018. The 6-foot-4 wide out made 12 catches for 143 yards with a score.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Steve Addazio, Head Coach:
"We have receivers that have dynamic speed, that can run by a secondary, even the best of secondaries, and be able to hit a home run."

Rich Gunnell, Wide Receivers Coach:
"Amazingly, (the offense this year) is just keeping it simple. We have a lot of things to remember in football along with classes that have Ivy league-type academics. So we just want to give our kids the best chance to just play fast and play confident."
