Boston College Lands in Top Schools for 2026 QB Femi Babalola

The Tennessee native is expected to be in Chestnut Hill for an official visit from June 6-8. Could Bill O'Brien and the staff be closing in on the second quarterback commit of the 2026 class?

As the summer of official visits roll on, Bill O'Brien and the Boston College staff continue to trend upward on the recruiting trail. Last week, the Eagles brought in ten players for their official visits and also hosted the Bill O'Brien Mega Camp, extending several offers to players that were in attendance.

Now, with the second weekend of visitors approaching, one prospect looks to be nearing his final decision. 2026 3-Star quarterback Femi Babalola, who is expected to be in town from June 6-8, took to social media on Thursday to announce that he has narrowed his list of top schools to just six.

The 6-foot-3, 215 lb. signal caller named Boston College among Virginia Tech, Arizona, Maryland, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. He will make his commitment on June 30.

As of now, the Eagles are the only one of his finalists for which he has an official visit lined up for. Despite not naming the Wolfpack on his list, Babalola is expected to take a trip to NC State on June 13 as well.

The Brentwood, Tennessee native, with his lengthy frame and athleticism, has all of the physical tools of a high level quarterback. He is able to stand tall in the pocket and make throws while also possessing enough mobility to give defenses headaches.

While he certainly has room to develop more as a passer, Babalola has shown the ability to make NFL caliber throws on more than one occasion.

As of now, Boston College holds a commitment from one other quarterback in the 2026 class, DJ Bordeaux, and has 13 commitments overall. In the first full offseason since taking over as head coach, O'Brien has done an excellent job on the recruiting trail thus far and looks to be primed for even more good news as the summer progresses.
