I would say I wanted to start out with just kind of – the captains were announced yesterday, Jack, and I feel like this kind of gives us a few answers as far as like what at least Bill O'Brien thinks of the team, what the staff kind of thinks of the team going into 2026.
Like, you know, obviously I feel like the number one question mark – going into this season is the quarterback position.
So having him as captain, you know, you can see this graphic here, you know, front of the graphic, speaks, I feel like, to, okay, this is your guy.
That's, I think, a refreshing thing for fans to get, like, starting to see and at least for Bill O'Brien to acknowledge because I don't think we've had really – You know, I feel like Dylan Lonergan was the person that I feel like lacked that leadership.
So you're starting to like kind of I feel like that's a refreshing thing to see.
And, you know, just to see two transfers coming into B.C., this is their first year.
I feel like those are the two players I just want to mention because, I mean, that kind of speaks to, okay, maybe there's a little more confidence in some of these guys coming in here that not many fans or, I mean, fans haven't really seen play yet.
Yeah, I mean, last year we went into the season with a really true even QB competition between Lonergan and Grayson James.
But with, you know, Mason McKenzie being named captain, I think it speaks to the confidence that Bill has in Mason McKenzie.
Because, I mean, I think back to when we first signed him and, like, we were going through, like, the spring ball situation.
