After a second straight weekend of hosting recruits on official visits, Boston College football is seeing another chunk of players verbally commit to the program.

The new additions started trickling in on Sunday evening, when 2027 three-star (Rivals) defensive and offensive lineman Krystian Walcott from Buford High School (Ga.) announced his commitment to BC.

“I’m home!!!” Walcott said in a post on X.

A 6-foot-4, 260-pound wrecking crew in the trenches, Walcott fielded over two dozen Division-I offers, including ones from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Wake Forest, and SMU.

Earlier on Sunday, meanwhile, Massillon Washington (Ohio) safety Braylon Gamble flipped his commitment from Miami (Ohio) to BC.

Gamble announced his decision in a joint post on Instagram.

Gamble, who does not have a rating yet, received his offer from BC on May 13, and his decision to flip came after visiting Chestnut Hill, Mass., over the weekend. BC was his first Power-Four offer, but he had six additional Division-I offers on the table.

RallyPreps, a data-driven high school football recruiting site that makes rankings and churns out evaluations of prospects around the country, listed Gamble as the No. 8-ranked defensive back in the state of Ohio in his class.

The addition of Walcott and Gamble increases the Eagles’ 2027 recruiting class to 19 players overall. The class is ranked No. 48 on 247Sports and No. 54 on Rivals nationally.
