BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic's Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Zach Kittley continues his weekly Tuesday press conferences on Tuesday, Sept. 15, airing live on ESPN+ at 12 p.m.
The second-year head coach will be joined weekly by two players. Ahead of Shula Bowl XXIV, fifth year WR Dominique Henry and junior EDGE Gavench Marcelin will speak to the media as seasoned veterans of the rivalry game.
Fresh off a 38-30 victory over RV Navy in Florida Atlantic's home and American Conference opener, the trio will look ahead to the upcoming matchup against the Panthers on Howard Schnellenberger Field at Flagler Credit Union Stadium. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. on ESPN+ as the Owls look to extend their all-time series lead to 18-5 and return the Shula Bowl trophy to Boca Raton.
Henry was on the receiving end on one of graduate QB Caden Veltkamp's five touchdown passes in Week 2. He has totaled 12 catches in two games for 101 yards.
Marcelin made a tackle for loss in the 2026 season opener at Florida, and followed it up with a four-tackle performance against the Midshipmen.
