The 6-foot-2, 228-pound offensive weapon spent one season on the Heights. In 2025, he appeared in three games, mostly on special teams, and redshirted.
The Oxnard, Calif., native was a three-star recruit from the class of 2025. He ranked No. 936 nationally, No. 45 in tight ends, and No. 72 in the state of Calif., according to 247Sports Composite.
The Oaks Christian High School product was just shy of 1,000 yards and scored 14 touchdowns on 81 catches in his last two high school seasons. He also earned First Team All-County and All-League honors those two years.
He was one of 27 members of the Eagles’ 2025 class.
“Stevie is a tight end that’s gonna bring another dynamic, athletic presence to our football program,” said Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien on Early Signing Day in 2024. “Stevie can make catches in all areas of the field. He can make 50/50 catches. He can separate from defenders. He’s a very, very tough blocker in the running game. We’re really excited to have Stevie in our football program.”
