The recruiting dead period ended this week, and Boston College has been busy on the road offering new recruits for the Class of '23 and beyond. Shelton Lewis, a '23 defensive back out of Stockbridge, Georgia was one of those recruits that heard from the Eagles. Ranked a three star by 247sports.com, the 5-11 Lewis also holds offers from Georgia Tech, Indiana and Memphis. We spoke to the recruit shortly after his offer from the Eagles.
As a defensive back it was Aazaar Abdul Rahim, a relentless recruiter who connected with Lewis to make his initial offer. "I talked to Coach Rahim," he told us. "I felt very good about this offer." The BC staff explained to the junior, who was first team all defense in Georgia Region 4-5. "Coach said I was very energetic, and that I was very athletic and can play anywhere on the defense."
The honesty of the staff was something that caught the attention of the recruit. "They up front with everything telling me about the program and how I can explode in their program." Lewis has been checking out other schools as well, recently visiting Auburn on an unofficial and West Virginia.
Boston College was particularly active in the Class of 2021 recruiting defensive backs, but slowed down in 2022 only landing two (Amari Jackson and Isaiah Farris). Currently the Eagles do not have a defensive back committed for the upcoming class, so expect BC to be active on the recruiting trail, with multiple offers and visits lined up. And expect Lewis to be one of those recruits they continue with. "I am waiting to get down there and see what it's all about," Lewis concluded.
