After his redshirt-freshman campaign in 2025, Jumeau entered the portal on Jan. 2 and considered transferring to programs such as Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and Oklahoma State, according to Trieu, before ultimately landing at BC.
“Boston College has the pipeline set for every athlete’s dream,” Jumeau told Trieu. “Everyone there is on the right track as far as winning and turning the program into a powerhouse. I believe the coaches at BC and myself have the same vision.”
The Hillsboro High School product started every game last season for the Tigers at left tackle.
Prior to his collegiate career, at Hillsboro, Jumeau earned All-State, All-Region, and All-Metro honors, including the William Hume Award, presented to student-athletes in Nashville who show leadership on and off the field, as well as a commitment to academic excellence.
“[There] is also so much pro football experience, years, and wisdom in that building [at BC],” Jumeau said. “They all have seen what it takes to get to that next level. Also, the education there is top tier. Not everyone can say they graduated from Boston College, which is what I plan to do.”
The transfer portal will stay open until Friday, Jan. 16.
