All Prep students had the opportunity to meet and have a productive conversation with Boston College LB Vinny DePalma - Vin is an inspiration - growing up loving sports and competing in a close family of brothers, leading the state in tackles his senior year and his team to a state championship, and on to be named a game captain this year at the highest level of collegiate football. Vinny shared how his 8th grade prep year made a difference for him in every way; as a student, young adult, and athlete. As a redshirt junior, Vincent has already earned his bachelor's degree and is working on a master's in sports administration. A true role model - not the biggest, fastest, or strongest, but checks every box in what you would want in a teammate; many valuable takeaways.
