First Offer Indescribable to 2022 Running Back Terron Kellman
Boston College has been extremely active offering recruits from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore (MD). Led by the recruiting efforts of defensive back coach Aazaar Abdul Rahim, the Eagles turned heads in '21 with the addition of prized defensive back Clinton Burton Jr. They haven't let up with the Class of '22, offering over a half dozen players from the school, including running back Terron Kellman. He spoke with BC Bulletin about his recent Boston College offer.
The last year has been eventful for the rising junior. In his sophomore season he only appeared in three games before missing the remainder of the year due to an injury. Then before this season Kellman made the decision to transfer from Dr. Henry Wise in Upper Marlboro to St. Frances Academy to play his final two seasons. And in the past week he received his first Power Five offer, from the Boston College Eagles.
"I received my offer through defensive backs coach Aazaar Abdul Rahim," Kellman told BC Bulletin. "What I was feeling at the moment words couldn’t describe. I was just so happy and proud that hard work was beginning to pay off." Rahim has been crucial for the Eagles in the DMV area, and at SFA in particular, where he has formed strong bonds with many of the recruits. "He's a great coach who knows a lot about the game," he continued. " And he from my hometown so thats a big plus."
Boston College's reach into the area was clear when talking to Kellman. "I know two guys already up there, Dwayne Allick (offensive lineman) and Jason Scott (defensive back). Also Jamal (Hood) being committed there, so BC is a school that is talked about a lot in my friend group." Hood is in the same year as Kellman at SFA and committed to the Eagles in May.
With Boston College moving away from the pure power running game and more towards a balanced attack, the need for more well balanced backs has been a point of emphasis in recruiting. They need to be quick backs that can carry the load but also be multi-dimensional in the running game. Both current '21 committed backs Lewis Bond and Xavier Coleman are in that mold. Terron Kellman sees himself that way as well:
"I see myself as an all-around back. I have great speed can cut on a dime make people miss but i have power behind me too. I just don’t want to be seen as a running back i want to be seen as a back that can do everything , and get involved in the passing game as well."
The next step for Kellman in his process? A visit, which he says he would like to do as soon as he is able to.
