Boston College Stays Hot on Recruiting Trail: The Rundown

Bill O'Brien and the Boston College staff put together a strong weekend on the recruiting trial, adding two commitments to what is already an impressive 2026 class. The Eagles landed 3-Star prospects Gavin Neil and Kelvin Brown, Jr., bringing the class total up to now 18 commitments.

Neil, a defensive lineman from Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois, is a 6-foot-3, 285 lb. prospect ranked by 247Sports as the No. 142 defensive lineman in the nation and the No. 36 player in the state.

He was in Chestnut Hill for an official visit on June 13, and ultimately chose the Eagles over schools such as Michigan State, Wyoming and many more.

Next, was Brown, Jr., who is a wide receiver from Raines High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Though unranked as a prospect by major recruiting outlets, the 5-foot-10, 165 lb. speedster looks to be a dynamic talent.

He held offers from over ten division one programs, including the likes of Wake Forest, Liberty, Coastal Carolina and more.

As of now, Boston College's recruiting class is ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 28 class in the nation, by On3 as the No. 41 team in the nation and by Rivals as the No. 46 team in the nation.
