Sherborn and Medfield native Connor Peck was recently named one of the four captains for Bentley University football alongside Foxborough's Mack Lowrie, Waltham's Junior Chery, and Pawtucket, RI's Martin Bannerman.

After playing Pop Warner for Holliston throughout his upbringing, Peck played offensive guard at Catholic Memorial from 2010-2014 and was a two-year captain during his junior and senior seasons.

Peck credited his competitive upbringing with Holliston Pop Warner as well as his days spent alongside future Division I stars such as Armani Reeves (Ohio State), Cam Williams (North Carolina), and A.J. Doyle (UMass) at CM as significant factors which inevitably led him to Bentley.

"I started playing Pop Warner in Holliston around the fourth grade," said Peck. "Those days at Stoddard Park are when I fell in love with football. Holliston prepared me for CM, and CM prepared me for Bentley. My sophomore year at CM is when I began starting on the offensive and defensive lines and I really grew fond of one of my assistant coaches, Brent Williams [now head coach at CM]. Coach Williams believed in me and knew what I was capable of and helped me out immensely for my underclassmen years at CM. I also had great role models too like A.J. Doyle, Cam Williams, and Armani Reeves, who all went on to play college ball and competed at the highest of levels. I tried to act like them and be that type of leader for the guys underneath me."
