Boston College Football: Recruiting Notebook, October 13, 2020
Yesterday, Boston College landed a commitment from Lawrence Academy tight end Matt Ragan. This was yet another big commitment in the Class of '22 that is already setting up to be one of the best in recent memory for BC. Let's take a look at some recruiting news.
* Currently BC has four commitments in the Class of '22, and have the top ranked ACC recruiting class. Now, do I expect that to hold? Absolutely not. However, look at the quality of recruits BC has landed. Matt Ragan, a top ten tight end in the country, one of the best recruits in Massachusetts. Peter Delaportas, a four star quarterback, one of the top recruits in New Jersey. Jamal Hood, St. Francis cornerback, plays for one of the top schools in the country, one loaded with talent. Jack Funke, a strong Massachusetts offensivel lineman and legacy. Four recruits, all of them very strong for their own reasons.
* Ragan said yesterday that he committed because of the coaching staff, and the play of tight ends. The emergence of Hunter Long on the national scene has to be something recruits have seen, and should help Hafley really fill in that depth chart with quality tight ends. On top of that, recruits are paying attention to the play of the team, and positivity from staff. This success is paying dividends on the recruiting trail.
* What other domino may fall because of the Ragan commitment? A name to watch for is local recruit Ty Chan, a four star offensive lineman and teammate of Ragan at LA. He has a boatload of big offers and is the top recruit in the state. He tweeted this out shortly after the commitment.
* Hearing the hunt is on for Trevin Wallace, a committed BC linebacker. Auburn and Oklahoma both want him badly, but given BC's success and Wallace's relationship with the staff, I think he sticks.
* BC's recruiting class of '21 is at 23. Think they have a spot for a few more, and yes they will have a spot for Drew Kendall if he wants it.
* Kenyatta Watson II, the son of BC wide receiver Kenyatta Watson transferred from Texas to GT. The Yellow Jackets are closer to home, and hear that BC wasn't in on him.
