Boston College Football DT Ron Brace Dies At 29

Condolence to the entire Brace family and Boston College football community.

Former Boston College defensive tackle Ron Brace has died, per family and friends' posts on Facebook.

Brace matriculated to Boston College in 2004 out of Burncoat Senior High School in Worcester, Massachusetts. After redshirting his first year, he debuted with Boston College against Brigham Young, where he registered 11 tackles in 12 games.

Over the years, he formed the core of a formidable interior defensive line with BJ Raji during what would be the golden years of Eagles football during the 2000s. An All-ACC Honorable Mention winner in 2007, he earned 2008 Second Team All-ACC honors despite not registering 30 tackles in a single season.
