What they’re saying

“I had a gut feeling that Boston College really liked me and I was hoping they would offer. I've had some great interaction with both my recruiting coach Kurt Anderson along with linebackers coach Dan O'Brien. Boston College is a terrific school and offers a great education in a great city. Boston College is a Jesuit school the same as Loyola so that's a good fit as well. I like the East Coast quite a bit so it would be a great place for me. I already have a visit planned to Boston College the weekend of March 28th and I'm excited to go out and see the school in person. It's a big offer.”
