The blue-and-gold will be led by multiple captains for the second straight season, while the group is the first threesome in the role since Conor Creane '22 '23, William Rowe '22, '23 and Aidan Sullivan '23 shared the role in 2022-23. The group will all begin their first term as the Rams' captains.
