Dominant Performance Earns Ezeiruaku ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Boston College senior defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku (Williamstown, N.J.) was voted the ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week as announced by the league on Monday afternoon. It marks Ezeiruaku's first career ACC weekly award and the third of the season for the Eagles.

Ezeiruaku dominated in BC's come-from-behind win over Western Kentucky on Saturday. He posted career-highs in tackles (14), sacks (3) and tackles for loss (four). His three-sack game was the first by an Eagle since 2018. Ezeiruaku's third sack of the day was a strip-sack that set up the Eagles inside the Hilltopper 30-yard line and led to Boston College's go-ahead touchdown with 3:33 left in the game.
