The Bison have announced the new football co-captains, Sam Chitty and Alex Pechin.

I had not heard that Pechin, a consensus All-American at punter, would be returning to play for his fifth year in Lewisburg. He had redshirted due to injury one season. He is in a five year academic program for biomedical engineering and management, for those wondering. He has been the recipient of numerous academic honors as well. Good news, at least to me.

I guess it hadn't been publicized, but it has been known for over a year that he would be back. He is one of the very few Bison athletes allowed a fifth year since, as you point out, he is in the five-year engineer program.

Pechin lost almost all of his soph year to injury when he tore a hamstring in the second game. Prior to that, he was also the team's FG kicker. Unfortunately when he returned, kicking FG's started to bother the hamstring again - so he relinquished the FG duties. That has hurt the team the last two years.

Marcus Ademilola, who tore his ACL in training camp last year, is also back. But he had to drop out of school for a semester to be allowed to use his final year.
