🏈 Countdown to Kickoff Hits 26 Days; Logan Lupo News
🏐 Volleyball is Comin’ in HOT
🦉 And much, much more

Number of the Day: 2️⃣6️⃣

We’re counting down the days to the return of Florida Atlantic football on August 30 at Maryland! In honor of the countdown reaching 26 days, we take a look back at the 2020 Montgomery Bowl. FAU’s Michael Irvin II was back in action post-COVID quarantine. He recorded his longest catch of the season—a 26-yard reception!

Countdown to Kickoff is brought to you by Shiner Law Group Accident & Injury Lawyers. We don’t just handle cases – we fight tirelessly for your rights, seeking the compensation you deserve while providing compassionate, personalized legal support every step of the way.

🔼 You’ll Get a Kick Outta This One. Logan Lupo of the Florida Atlantic football team has been named to the Ray Guy Award Preseason Watch List, for the award given annually to the nation's best punter. He is one of 15 players on the list.

In 2024, Lupo was added to the Watch List following the opening game against Michigan State and was on the Ray Eight list after Week 2, after a 48.2-yard average with a season-long of 58. He ended his most recent campaign with 2092 net yards, third in the American Conference, with 15 going over 50 yards and 14 landing inside the 20-yard line.

🔼 Boca’s About to Be Bumpin’. Florida Atlantic volleyball kicked off its 2025 preseason on Friday with a pair of practices. The Owls are 28 days away from their season-opening Florida Atlantic Invitational on Aug. 29-30.

The Owls will see their first preseason action of the year on Aug. 16 as they compete in their Red vs. Blue intrasquad scrimmage. Florida Atlantic will then close out preseason play on Aug. 23, hosting Miami Dade for a midweek exhibition matchup.

🔼 Thanks, Coach. Florida Atlantic Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Zach Kittley began and ended his post-practice review with the players by telling them he was proud of Friday's effort and work.

Day three was similar to days one and two, but with a little more cloud cover and the addition of shoulder pads. The Owls will not practice on Saturday, giving them nearly 48 hours to recover and prepare for next week, their first full week of preseason camp.

🤓 Where is Logan Lupo in the Florida Atlantic football rankings for all-time in average yards per punt?
