Bill O'Brien and the Boston College staff continued their hot streak on the recruiting trail on Sunday as the Eagles added yet another talented prospect to the 2026 recruiting class, which is now 18 deep.

2026 wide receiver Kelvin Brown, Jr. from Raines High School in Jacksonville, Florida officially committed to Boston College, confirming his decision with a post on social media.

Standing at 5-foot-10, 165 lbs., Brown is a bit on the slender side of things, but possesses a typical build for a slot receiver. He has quick feet and is an extremely smooth runner in the open field, but he also has enough speed to win along the outside.

He is a multi-sport athlete, also suiting up for his high school's track and field team. As a junior in 2024, Brown ran an impressive 10.72 second 100-meter dash and a 22.07 second 200-meter dash. He also competes in the triple jump where he set a personal record of 11.11 meters in 2024.

The Eagles currently hold just a single wideout commitment in the 2026 class, so adding a player like Brown is a major boost. While his under-the-radar status may have kept other teams away, O'Brien and the staff clearly see his potential.
