Bill O'Brien and the Boston College Eagles have put together a strong offseason up to this point, landing nine commitments already for the 2026 recruiting class, and extending offers to many more.

This week, Boston College extended another scholarship offer to a talented prospect from next year's class. 3-Star edge rusher Alex Willis from The First Academy in Orlando, Florida took to social media to announced his latest division one offer.

In his post Willis wrote, "After a great conversation with head coach Bill O'Brien, I've been blessed with an offer to Boston College." He then tagged the post Eagles linebackers coach Dan O'Brien and wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt, both of which look to be major contacts for his recruitment.

The 6-foot-4, 240 lb. defender is rated by On3 as a 3-Star prospect and the No. 56 edge rusher in the nation. This season, as a junior, Willis saw time in eight games, logging 31 total tackles, 6.0 TFL's and a forced fumble and recovery.

The Eagles currently hold nine commitments for the 2026 recruiting class, and rank as the No. 16 team in the nation, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.
