Position Breakdowns

Offense

The Eagles hold 13 offensive players in the class, ranging from talented quarterbacks to lengthy wideouts, as well as the players that protect them both.

Looking at the signal callers, Boston College has two dynamic players at the position in Femi Babalola and Anthony Coellner. While the pair brings different skill sets to the table, both look as if they could compete to eventually take over as the starter.

Bill O'Brien and the staff also managed to snag a commitment from an extremely talented wide receiver Kelvin Brown, Jr. Like the two quarterbacks, he brings a unique aspect to the offense as an explosive threat to score any time he touches the ball.

Boston College also landed an impressive pair of running backs in this year's class from Billy Barrett and Sedric Addison. Barrett, who comes from New Jersey, is a walk on prospect, and Addison is a 3-Star back from the Peach State.

The trenches were where the Eagles focused heavily this offseason, landing four prospects across various positions within the offensive line. More importantly than just grabbing commits, Boston College seemingly grabbed extremely high potential prospects, all of which feature massive frames that could already suit up at the division one level.

While O'Brien and the staff did a fabulous job in acquiring talent for the Eagles' offense in this year's class, tight end is a position that was a bit neglected throughout the process. Boston College does hold commitments two athletes who have seen time there before, but not from a dedicated tight end.

Defense

With 14 commits on this side of the ball, O'Brien and the staff put together a similarly impressive performance with the defense as they did on the offensive end.

Five of the 14 commits are defensive backs, all of which have shown to have incredible range in coverage at the varsity level. The Eagles have clearly made a point to target bigger players for the secondary, and were mostly successful this offseason with each of the five commits all standing above six feet tall.

While the secondary was heavily addressed, so were the trenches as Boston College landed six commitments between the defensive line and edge rusher positions.

The Eagles were somewhat limited in their pursuit of linebackers in the 2026 cycle, landing just a single commit at the position from unranked Demeterius Thompson out of Clayton, Missouri.

Top Commitments in the Class

Mason Leak

Leak is one of just two 4-Sar commits in the class, and is one of the most impressive edge rushers out of the state of Mass. He stands 6-foot-4, 230 lbs., possessing the build of an elite division one pass rusher before he has even stepped foot on campus.

Prior to originally committing to the Eagles, the Connecticut native held a list of Power Four offers, including the likes of Virginia, Syracuse and Wake Forest.

Femi Babalola

One of the Eagles' two signal caller commits, Babalola could have the highest ceiling of any player in the class as a whole. He is an incredibly dynamic quarterback with the ability to attack defenses with both his legs and his arm, and he has already proven himself as a winner at the varsity level, leading Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tennessee to an undefeated record and an upcoming berth in the state title game on December 6.

He committed to Boston College in June, choosing the Eagles over the likes of Colorado, Arizona, Georgia Tech and many more high level Power Four programs.

Signee Breakdowns

OL Bruno Werner, 6-foot-9, 275 lbs. - Germany (Committed 06/22/2025)

Make sure to check back throughout the day as this list will be updated with information on the Eagles latest 2026 signees.

Hailing from the NFL Academy in London, Werner is a physically impressive offensive line prospect who is originally from Germany. With his massive 6-foot-9, 175 lb. frame, Werner's potential is through the roof, but he will need some refinement if he hopes to work his way onto the field. He has solid footwork and moves well for someone his size, but still has a bit to work on in terms of pad level and overall technique.

Despite likely being more of a project type of player, Wener has an incredibly high ceiling, and could very well develop into a very high level talent.

CB DJ Biggins, 6-foot-1, 170 lbs. - West Hartford, Connecticut (Committed 01/20/2025)

Hailing from Kingswood Oxford High School in West Hartford, Connecticut, Biggins is an impressive athlete, rated as a 3-Star prospect. He stands 6-foot-1, 170 lbs., and split time on both sides of the ball across his high school career.

Serving as both a wide receiver and cornerback for his three years of varsity football, the talented prospect hauled in 140 receptions for 2,258 yards and 19 touchdowns, as well as 62 tackles, 4.0 TFL’s, 12 pass deflections and five interceptions.

QB Anthony Coellner, 6-foot-1, 190 lbs. - Carmel, Indiana (Committed 11/28/2025)

After losing out on a commitment from 3-Star quarterback DJ Bordeaux in mid-November, the Eagles managed to grab a commitment from Coellner, an impressive signal caller out of Indiana.

He stands 6-foot-1, 190 lbs. and is also rated as a 3-Star prospect. As a senior this season for Carmel High School, Coeller completed over 70 percent of his passes for 1,737 yards with 18 touchdowns to seven interceptions.

OT Lawrence Iyalekhue, 6-foot-9, 325 lbs. - Yonkers, New York (Committed 06/24/2025)

Hailing from Yonkers, New York, Iyalekhue is a massive offensive lineman, standing 6-foot-9, 325 lbs. He is rated as a 3-Star prospect, and is the No. 4 player in the state of New York, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

While he may need a bit of development before finding his way onto the field, Iyalekhue possesses limitless potential and could easily become a cornerstone of the Eagles offensive line in the future.

WR Kelvin Brown, Jr., 5-foot-10, 165 lbs. - Jacksonville, Florida (Committed 06/15/2025)

Standing at 5-foot-10, 165 lbs., Brown is a bit on the slender side of things, but possesses a typical build for a slot receiver. He has quick feet and is an extremely smooth runner in the open field, but he also has enough speed to win along the outside.

He is a multi-sport athlete, also suiting up for his high school's track and field team. As a junior in 2024, Brown ran an impressive 10.72 second 100-meter dash and a 22.07 second 200-meter dash. He also competes in the triple jump where he set a personal record of 11.11 meters in 2024.

He is rated as a 3-Star prospect, and is ranked as the No. 190 wideout in the nation, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

OL Marcelino Antunes, Jr., 6-foot-7, 285 lbs. - West Roxbury, Mass. (Committed 03/03/2024)

Another prospect hailing from Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, Mass., Antunes, Jr. is a member of the trenches as well, but on the other side of the ball. Standing at 6-foot-7, 285 lbs., he is a behemoth offensive tackle with excellent athleticism for his size.

He chose the Eagles over Syracuse in March of this year, and is undoubtedly one of the most physically impressive prospects in the entire class.

DL Mac Fitzgerald, 6-foot-4, 250 lbs. - West Roxbury, Mass (Committed 07/25/2024)

A local prospect, hailing from Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, Mass., Fitzgerald is a massive defensive lineman, standing 6-foot-4, 275 lbs. He helped his team to an impressive 9-2 record as a senior so far this season, culminating with an upcoming berth in the state title game on December 6.

He is rated as a 3-Star prospect, and was one of the earliest commits of the class, choosing the Eagles over Syracuse in July of 2024.

RB Sedric Addison, 6-foot, 198 lbs. - Suwanee, Georgia (Committed 06/09/2025)

Hailing from Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia, Addison is an explosive athlete with an excellent build for the running back position. Standing, 6-foot, 198 lbs., the Peach State native is versatile in both the run and pass game, using his skill set to attack opposing defenses in multiple different ways.

He is ranked as the No. 50 running back in the nation, and the No. 87 player in Georgia, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

OL Dean Ruksnaitis, 6-foot-3, 270 lbs. - Easthampton, Mass. (Committed 07/25/2024)

Another one of the Eagles’ longtime commits in the 2026 class, Ruksnaitis, a local prospect from Easthampton, Mass., made his commitment all the way back in July of 2024.

He projects as an interior offensive lineman, standing 6-foot-3, 270 lbs., and is able to use his frame to push around defensive linemen with ease. While he may need to bulk up a bit before he’s ready to take on some of the best in the ACC, Ruksnaitis looks to be a high ceiling prospect.

K Jonathan Hewitt, 6-foot-2, 175 lbs. - Eaton, Ohio (Committed 06/16/2025)

Hewitt is a five-star kicker prospect, according to Kohl’s Professional Camps, and received a 4.5-star rating as a punter. He competed at Kohl’s Underclassman Challenge in January 2025, where he scored 16 points on field goals and 104.85 points on kickoffs. At the National Scholarship Camp in July 2024, Hewitt scored 33 out of 36 possible points on field goals.

With a 6-foot-3, 178-pound frame, Hewitt is also a two-time first-team All-Ohio player.

EDGE Dominic Funke, 6-foot-3, 230 lbs. - Westwood, Mass. (Committed 01/15/2025)

Funke is a local 3-Star edge defender from Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, Mass. He stands 6-foot-3, 230 lbs. and is currently ranked as the No.10 overall player in the state, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

He has helped lead Xaverian Brothers to an impressive 10-2 record as a senior this fall, culminating with an upcoming state title game appearance on December 6.

Funke joined the Eagles’ class in January of this year, choosing Boston College over the likes of Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and more.

S Jordan Rodriguez, 6-foot-1, 200 lbs. - Jersey City, N.J. (Committed 06/21/25)

Rodriguez is dynamic as a defender with the ability to operate both in the run and pass game effectively. He has quick feet and is fluid in his movement, but is also able to get downhill and make plays on the ball carrier.

He stands 6-foot-1, 200 lbs., and is ranked as the No. 79 safety in the nation and the No. 21 player in the state of New Jersey, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

ATH Steve Klein, 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. - Westwood, New Jersey (Committed 05/02/2025)

Klein, a 3-Star athlete prospect from Westwood, New Jersey, is a true do-it-all type of player. He has split time on both offense and defense, serving as a running back, wide receiver and safety.

In three years of varsity football for Westwood, the 6-foot-2, 200 lb. prospect compiled a whopping 3,435 all-purpose yards with 45 touchdowns on offense while adding 307 tackles, 21 TFL’s and 12 interceptions.

The New Jersey native committed to Boston College in May of this year, choosing the Eagles over the likes of Temple, James Madison, Syracuse and more.

DT Cameron McGee, 6-foot-3, 330 lbs. - Loganville, Georgia (Committed12/01/2025)

The most recent addition to the Eagles 2026 recruiting class, McGee is an incredibly impressive prospect out of Grayson High School in Logansville, Georgia. He stands 6-foot-3, 330 lbs., and is rated as a 3-Star prospect.

Prior to making his commitment, McGee held offers from the likes of Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and many more high level Power Four offers.

The 3-Star defender has a unique connection with the newest member of the Boston College staff, Kenyatta Watson, who served as the director of football operations and recruiting for Grayson from 2014-2018.

CB Gerald Green, Jr., 6-foot-1, 175 lbs. - Staten Island, New York (Committed 01/20/2025)

Green is an impressive cornerback from the Longhorn State. He stands 6-foot-1, 175 lbs. And is currently rated as a 3-Star prospect and is ranked as the No. 79 player at his position in the nation, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

He played high school football for Legacy School of Sports Sciences in Spring, Texas, and made his initial commitment to the Eagles in January of this year.

QB Femi Babalola, 6-foot-3, 215 lbs. - Brentwood, Tennessee (Committed 06/30/2025)

Babalola is an electrifying signal caller from Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tennessee. He stands 6-foot-3, 215 lbs. and is ranked as the No. 44 signal caller in the nation, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

As a senior this fall, Babalola has helped lead his team to a 14-0 record with a berth in the state championship game on December 6. He committed to the Eagles in June of this year, choosing Boston College over the likes of Colorado, Arizona, Georgia Tech and more.

S Da'Jon Green, 6-foot, 190 lbs. - Choctaw, Oklahoma (Committed 06/07/2025)

While a bit undersized as a safety prospect, Green makes up for it with his incredible speed and range in coverage. Though his physical size is a bit lacking, he is able to cover massive amounts of field, sideline to sideline, keeping opposing offenses at bay.

Green committed to the Eagles in June of this year, choosing Boston College over the likes of Oklahoma State, Iowa State and many more.

EDGE Mason Leak, 6-foot-5, 220 lbs. - Colchester, Connecticut (Committed 10/03/2024)

The highest rated prospect of the class for O’Brien and the Eagles’ staff, Leak is a dominant edge rusher with a penchant for getting after opposing quarterbacks.

He stands 6-foot-4, 230 lbs., and is able to use his lengthy frame to keep blockers at bay and diagnose plays before they can develop.

Leak has great speed off the ball and excellent bend around the edge, and could provide an instant spark to an Eagles’ defense that struggled throughout the 2025 season. 

DT Jackson Carlisle, 6-foot-3, 265 lbs. - Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Committed 06/24/2025)

Standing at 6-foot-3 with a 265-pound frame, Carlisle had offers from Troy, North Alabama, Jacksonville State and Southern Mississippi before making his commitment to Boston College in June of this year. He hails from Central High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and is ranked as the No. 185 player at his position in the nation, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

As a senior this fall, Carlisle compiled an impressive 63 tackles, 24.0 TFL’s and 6.5 sacks.

OL Marek Jin, 6-foot-3, 285 lbs. - Exeter, New Hampshire (Committed 04/09/2025)

Originally suiting up for St. Alban's High School in Washington D.C., Jin transferred to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire before his junior season, and has since become the No. 1 ranked player in the entire state, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking.

He stands at 6-foot-3, 285 lbs. and is a gritty blocker with the ability to push defenders around with ease. Jin has great footwork which he utilizes on both running and passing downs, and he plays with a very high motor, going all the way until the whistle at every opportunity.

CB Xavier Myers, 6-foot-2, 190 lbs. - Baltimore, Maryland (Committed 06/20/2025)

Myers is a 6-foot-2, 190 lb. lengthy cornerback with the versatility to line up all across the defensive backfield. He has long arms and excellent footwork which make it easy for him to interrupt passing lanes and give opposing offenses headaches.

247Sports ranks the Maryland native as the No. 86 player in the nation at his position and the No. 24 player in the state. Though he is a more under-the-radar prospect, Myers held an impressive list of offers including the likes of Temple, East Carolina, James Madison and more.

LB Demeterius Thompson, 6-foot-3, 220 lbs. - Clayton, Missouri (Committed 11/12/2025)

One of the most recent additions to the Eagles’ 2026 class, Thompson is a 6-foot-3, 220 lb. linebacker from Clayton, Missouri. He was originally committed to Southeast Missouri State, but flipped his commitment in November of this year after taking a visit to Chestnut Hill.

Though he may need to develop a bit physically before finding his way onto the field, Thompson did share some impressive measurables with Boston College Eagles on SI shortly before making his commitment. He said, “I don't believe there are a lot of recruits who can run a 4.7 second 40-yard dash at 230 lbs., dunk a basketball and win state in the triple jump. This offseason I will be working to add even more size and strength to my game. I plan to be 245 lbs. by August of 2026."

DL Gavin Neil, 6-foot-3, 285 lbs. - Chicago Heights, Illinois (Committed 06/15/2025)

Neil is an impressive defensive lineman, already standing 6-foot-3, 285 lbs. as he prepares to enter his first season with the Eagles. While he still may be in need of a bit of refinement as a player, the Illinois native has shown many impressive traits at the varsity level. He is quick off the ball, and remarkably strong, using his massive hands to shed blockers and yank down ball carriers.

Final Class Ranking

The Eagles’ 2026 class stacks up quite well with recent years in program history -- if not as the best class, then certainly as one of the best. Boston College is currently ranked No. 44 in the nation and No. 12 in the ACC, according to 247Sports' composite ranking, and holds 26 total commits.

The 2026 group is the highest ranked Eagles recruiting class since Jeff Hafley's final season in 2022. That year, Boston College finished with the No. 40 ranked class in the nation, and sixth in the ACC.
