Bill O'Brien and the Eagles hot streak on the recruiting trail continued on Tuesday as Boston College added its fifth commitment in the last week, and 24th overall in the 2026 class.
Yonkers, New York native Lawrence Iyalekhue, a 6-foot-9, 325 lb. offensive tackle, took to social media to officially announce his commitment to Boston College, choosing the Eagles over the likes of Temple, Wake Forest, UMass and more.

His post read, "First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to chase my dreams. I'm incredibly grateful to my family, coaches, teammates and everyone who's supported me throughout this journey."
He continued, "After a lot of prayer, reflection and conversations with people I trust most, I'm proud to announce that I'm 100% committed to Boston College."
Though unranked as a prospect currently, Iyalekhue's massive frame makes it easy to see why O'Brien and the Eagles staff were targeting him on the recruiting trail. He is raw as a prospect, but has limitless potential and with the right coaching, could be a dominant force on the offensive line.
With the addition of Iyalekhue, Boston College's 2026 class is now 24 players deep which is the second most in the ACC. While it is still early, the Eagles look to be building one of the best classes in recent program history.
