On Thursday afternoon, the Boston College football program added its 10th commit in the 2027 recruiting class, signing Milton High School (Ga.) linebacker Blaize Battaglia, a three-star prospect on 247Sports and Rivals.

The Alpharetta, Ga., native chose BC over schools like Kansas, Maryland, UNLV, and Coastal Carolina. He had 25 Division-I offers total, but Bill O’Brien and co. locked him up before other Power-Four FBS programs joined the mix.

“Big congratulations to our senior linebacker Blaize Battaglia on his commitment to Boston College,” Milton High School football posted on X.

As a junior last season, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound middle linebacker registered 121 tackles (81 solos), 14 quarterback hits, 8.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass break-up, earning First Team All-Region honors. 

His top in-game speed maxes out at 20.63 miles per hour, and he has recorded an 11-foot broad jump, which would be above average at the NFL Scouting Combine for his position.

Battaglia, who is still set on taking his first official visit to Chestnut Hill from June 12-14, is the second ‘27 linebacker to sign with the Eagles in a row, as Iona Prep (N.Y.) linebacker Mamadee Sangaray announced his commitment to BC just 10 days ago.

The Eagles’ 2027 recruiting class now ranks No. 34 in the nation after Battaglia’s signing, per 247.
