FCS All American TE Trae Barry Transfers to Boston College
Boston College made yet another big move in the transfer portal on Tuesday evening, as Jacksonville State tight end Trae Barry committed to the Eagles.
Barry, an FCS All American last season, is a 6'7 tight end that had 33 catches for 524 yards in just seven games. The Alabama native reportedly chose the Eagles over Florida State and Ole Miss. We spoke with John Garcia of SI All American who said that he is a "huge target with Sunday aspirations".
“We are excited to add two experienced skill position talents in Alec (Sinkfield) and Trae,” said Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley. “Both guys fit the character and culture of our program and will be great additions to our offense. I can’t wait to see them on the field with our team for summer workouts.”
This is a big get for Boston College, who had a huge hole to fill after 2020 with Hunter Long headed to the NFL Draft, and eventually getting selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round. Barry will battle Joey Luchetti and Charlie Gordinier for the top tight end spot, but if he picks up the offense should immediately fill a big need for this roster. With Barry on board, Boston College could have a truly special offense in 2021, led by quarterback Phil Jurkovec along with weapons such as Barry, Zay Flowers, Kobay White, Jaelen Gill, CJ Lewis and five returners on the offensive line.
Stay tuned for more updates as the offseason progresses.
