BOSTON COLLEGE DEFENSIVE BACK HONORED AS GO BOWLING MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE
Boston College defensive back Jamareeh “Bugg” Jones, a redshirt junior majoring in engineering, has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete for the second time in three years.
Jones, who is from Richmond, Va., has a 3.05 grade-point average. Last year, for his Collaborative Service Engineering Project, he worked on a team that developed a heating solution to enhance rider comfort while waiting for a bus in high-ridership areas in marginalized communities. For this project, Bugg and his classmates combined engineering design and extensive engineering evaluation with an assessment of societal needs.
“In addition to being smart, hardworking and a leader in the engineering classroom, Bugg is dedicated to using his knowledge to make the world a better place for all,” said Glenn Gaudette, chair of the Boston College Department of Engineering. “Bugg is always encouraging his classmates and helping to move complex projects forward. He demonstrates what it means to be ‘an Eagle for one, an Eagle for all.’ ”
The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to announce the members of the fourth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.
“The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors an amazing group of young men who truly showcase what it means to be a student-athlete,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “We are thrilled to honor this group of talented players for their success on and off the field while continually challenging themselves in the classroom.”
The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Athletic Conference – the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.
The two players whose teams compete in the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 5:45 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Bowl tickets are on sale now. A donation will be made in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
