Since kicking off spring practice on March 11, Bill O'Brien and the Boston College staff have been very active on the recruiting trail, welcoming many talented prospects for campus visits and lining up even more for the upcoming summer.

This week, 2028 tight end Colten Lis made his first trip to Chestnut Hill and was able to view spring practice. He spoke with Boston College on SI prior to his visit, highlighting O'Brien's offensive scheme, and now shared his reaction to what he saw while in town.

Speaking on what impressed him most about the trip, Lis said, "The thing that stuck out to me most was how well-knit the team is." He continued, praising the Eagles' team bond, "The bond between the players seemed very strong and it felt like a brotherhood."

Lis explained he was able to spend time with the tight ends group before updating his upcoming visit schedule. He said, "I was able to watch the tight ends practice, and I'll be back in April for another visit. I'll be able to sit in the meeting room with the tight ends via invite from coach [Will] Lawing."

As of now, Boston College holds one of the top-25 recruiting classes in the nation for the 2026 class, and also has over a dozen visits lined up with prospects from 2026, 2027 and even 2028. While O'Brien has only been in town for a short tenure thus far, his impact has certainly been felt in nearly all aspects of the program.
