Boston College National Signing Day: Live Blog

Today is the early signing period for National Signing Day, the first day that athletes can sign on to their chosen school. This is going to be an interesting day for Boston College, because some of their commits may wait until the later signing day in February so that they can meet with new head coach Jeff Hafley and get a better feel for the direction of the program.
Please check back with us throughout the day as we will continue to give updates, and let you know who signed with the Eagles.

Other News
Kevin Pyne, BC's highest rated recruit did not technically sign today, however he will be an early enrollee and be with the team this spring.
It sounds like offensive linemen Dwayne Allick and Addison Penn will not sign today, which may be because they want to meet with new head coach Jeff Hafley and the position coach which may or may not be Phil Trautwein.
