Boston College Hosting Pair of 2027 Prospects for UCONN Matchup

Standing at 6-foot-1, 205 lbs., Wood currently unranked as a prospect by major recruiting outlets, but he has shown flashes of elite play throughout his time in varsity football so far. In his freshman and sophomore seasons, the Mass. native completed 43-of-73 passes for 770 yards and 13 touchdowns.

He also added 160 yards and another score on the ground as well. This season, through five games, he's helped Xaverian Brothers to a 3-2 record overall, but a 1-0 region record which has the Hawks tied for first place in the Catholic League.

He is teammates with current Boston College commit Dominic Funke, a 3-Star edge rusher in the 2026 class.

The next player to announce his upcoming trip to Chestnut Hill was fellow 2027 prospect, Xzaiver Whittington from Aberdeen, Maryland.

A 6-foot-3, 300 lb. defensive lineman, Whittington is also currently unranked as a prospect by major outlets, but similar to his potential future teammate, has shown flashes of elite talent. Through 14 games across his sophomore and now junior seasons, the Maryland native has 67 tackles, 16.0 TFL's and 7.0 sacks.

As of now, Boston College holds three commits in the 2027 class, the most recent of which, Zahir Mitchell, made his decision earlier this month on October 2. While there is still plenty of time before the prospects in the upcoming class make their decisions, the Eagles look to be in prime position to maybe have an early jump on the rest of the country, particularly in the Northeast region.
