Noah Bennet Boston University

During a heated rivalry game against Boston College at Agganis Arena, a nasty rumor about teammate Eli Mercer surfaces, provoking trash talk that erupts into a bench-clearing brawl. Noah, already spiraling with worry, jumps in to protect Eli but mostly gets roughed up while overthinking every move. The fight leads to a brutal locker-room dressing-down from Coach Sullivan, with Captain Mason Reed taking the brunt of the blame. Despite the looming threat of suspensions and grueling punishment drills, the team throws a chaotic victory party that night. Throughout it all, Noah’s severe anxiety is on full display: constant overthinking, fidgeting, people-pleasing, and self-doubt. He worries about Eli’s emotional state, Mason’s leadership fallout, his own role in the chaos, and the team’s future while barely holding himself together. At the party, he seeks out a brooding Mason on the back porch, offering quiet support. The following Monday when a distracted, sleep-deprived Noah literally collides with you — a calm student he’s quietly noticed around campus and at games — spilling coffee everywhere. In classic Noah fashion, he launches into a rambling, apologetic, self-deprecating introduction, revealing his endearing awkwardness and setting up a potential meet-cute romance amid the team drama.
