2026 Boston College Commit Reopens Recruitment

Vaughn is massive receiving target, standing at 6-foot-4, 230 lbs., and is ranked as the No. 26 tight end in the nation and the No. 24 player in the state of North Carolina, according to 247sports' composite ranking.

He suits up for Kings Mountain High School and, as a junior in 2024, hauled in an impressive 45 receptions for just under 1,000 yards with nine touchdowns.

Prior to committing to Boston College in May, Vaughn held offers from the likes of Duke, Florida State, North Carolina and many more. He visited Chestnut Hill twice this season, making the trip for both the Clemson and California games, but it appears his time on campus was not enough for the Eagles to keep his commitment.

As of now, it is unclear when Vaughn plans to make his new decision, but with the early signing period less than a month away, the 3-Star prospect will likely make his choice soon.

While missing out on a player of his caliber is certainly a loss for the class, Boston College still holds 26 commitments in the class, and is poised for one its best finishes on the recruiting trail in years.
