2013 Stats: Kavalec was mostly the backup to Kasim Edebali in 2013 during his freshman year. Played in eight games last season. Kevin debuted against Florida State where he had one solo tackles against the Seminoles. Finished the season with three tackles.

2014 Stats: Kavalec was second on the team with 40 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. His biggest game was against the Demon Deacons when he had ten tackles and two sacks against Wake Forest.

2015 Projections: What a year for Kavalec, who jumped from a backup in 2013, to one a solid pass rusher, and solid tackler. He continues to grow this summer at practice, catching the eyes and praise of his coaches. Fortunately for Kavalec there will be other ends to help out this year and give him rests when needed. Kavalec should be rotating throughout the season with ends such as Harold Landry, Malachi Moore, Evan Kelly, and Zach Allen.

How'd He Get Here: According to Rivals, Kevin was a 2* recruit that chose Boston College over claimed offer from Ohio. His primary recruiter was former offensive line coordinator Jim Bollman.
