Boston College Lands Commitment from 2027 ATH Zahir Mitchell

His post read, "After a great phone call with coach Bill O'Brien, I am proud to announce that I am committed to the Boston College Eagles for the class of 2027."

He continued, "First and foremost, I want to give thanks to the man above, my father Jesus Christ, because without him, none of this would be possible. Next, I want to thank my mother and father for their countless sacrifice providing for me and pouring into the dreams that I've had since I was four years old."

"Finally, thank you to the staff at Boston College, including Coach [Bill] O'Brien, Coach [Jonathan] DiBiaso, Coach [Bryson] Rosser, Kamari Morales, Kamryn Rodriguez and Michael Butler as they have made a new home for me."

With the addition of Mitchell, Boston College now has three commitments in the 2027 class, two of whom are local prospects from Massachusetts, with the third being fellow athlete Wesley Winn, Jr. from San Francisco.

Last season as a sophomore for Milton Academy, the speedy prospect hauled in 27 receptions for just over 500 yards with five touchdowns. He also saw a bit of time on the defensive side of the ball, finishing the year with seven tackles.

Though there is still time for O'Brien and the staff to continue adding to an impressive 2026 recruiting class that is 27 members deep, Boston College has been successful enough to turn a bit of its attention to 2027.
