Ron Brace: Remembering A Truly Special BC Defender

As we say goodbye to one of BC's finest, let's look at what his time at BC looked like.

The Boston College community is still reeling from the news that former defensive tackle Ron Brace unexpectedly passed away at the early age of 29. While it is easy to wonder about what could have been, it is more fitting to look at what Ron Brace was, and what he contributed to the Boston College Football program.

Brace came to Boston College in 2004, as a 3* offensive guard from Burncoat in Worcester, Massachusetts. Like many BC legends, Brace was not a highly recruited player, only receiving offers from Hofstra, UMass (FCS at the time), UConn and Northeastern.
