Eagles' Kolenge Named Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete
November 11, 2025 | Football
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Defensive lineman Edwin Kolenge was selected to the Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, the organization announced Monday afternoon.
Kolenge, originally from Montreal, Quebec, studies human-centered engineering at Boston College. As part of a collaborative service engineering project, Kolenge applied his passion for thermodynamics to help people waiting for the bus during the winter by designing thin heating slats that minimally disrupted sidewalk traffic. In his senior capstone course, Kolenge worked with a team of students on an industry-sponsored project to develop an automated dispensing system for instant ice cream that would save energy by removing the requirements to keep ice cream cold prior to eating.Â
"Edwin is part of one of the first cohorts of B.S. in Human-Centered Engineering majors at Boston College," the Boston College engineering department said in a statement. "He has dedicated himself to this program and collaborated with his fellow students and faculty to help define what excellence means for BC engineering. Edwin has not only succeeded in the classroom but has also emerged as a leader and problem solver within his project teams."
The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to recognize the members of the fifth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma, honoring some of the brightest minds competing on the football field in the ACC and the American Conference. The program honors one football player at each university that is a member of the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game.
The Go Bowling Military Bowl will be played on Saturday, Dec. 27 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN.
