The captains were selected in a vote of their teammates.
Seniors Brandon Eldemire and Anthony Lanier, junior Tevin McKenzie and redshirt sophomore Bryan Brower will represent the Bulldogs during the pre-game coin flips and other duties on and off the field this season.
For Brower, a 5-10, 220-pound linebacker, it is a repeat honor – he was a team captain last season. The graduate of Stanhope Elmore High School near Montgomery was the team's leading tackler in 2014 with 46 solo tackles and 37 assists.
Lanier, 6-6, 265 pounds, is a first-team all-Southwestern Athletic Conference defensive lineman. The Savannah, Ga., product graduated from H.V Jenkins High School. He was second in tackles with 37 solo and 17 assists. Lanier had 18 tackles for loss for minus-74 yards, broke up four passes, forced two fumbles and blocked a kick.
Eldemire, at 5-10, 180 pounds, was second on the team in rushing last year with 530 yards – including a team-longest 63-yard run - and six touchdowns. He hails from Miami, Fla., and is a graduate of Dr. Krop Senior High School.
McKenzie, a 5-10, 190-pound wide receiver, had nearly 400 yards receiving with two touchdowns and another 226 yards in kickoff returns last year. He is a graduate of Murphy High School in Mobile.
The Bulldogs open the 2015 season on Sept. 5 at the University of Cincinnati. The game will be carried on ESPN3 with a 6 p.m. (Central Time) kickoff.
