The football team announced its captains for the 2011 season today.  Three of four seniors named to the leadership role start for the Owls’ defense: offensive lineman John Palumbo, linebacker Tahir Whitehead, defensive ends Morkeith Brown and Adrian Robinson.

“I think from spring ball going into camp, we looked very good out there,” Brown said of the team at the media press conference on Monday.  “Everybody’s ready to play.”

The Owls are just three hours from kicking off their season opener at 7 p.m. against Villanova at Lincoln Financial Field.
