Bill O'Brien and the Boston College staff were active this week both on the recruiting trail and in the transfer portal, adding a commitment from a talented prospect as well as a player that can likely be a contributor in 2025.

The Eagles earned a commitment from 2026 3-Star edge rusher Dominick Funke. Hailing from Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, Mass., Funke is ranked as the No. 4 player in the state and the No. 44 at his position. He stands at 6-foot-3, 230 lbs. and uses his size to his advantage, shucking off blockers and effectively getting after the quarterback.

Boston College also added another commitment from a transfer player in former Princeton guard Tommy Matheson. A member of the class of 2021, Matheson joins the Eagles with just a year of eligibility left, but should provide valuable experience for the offensive line.

O'Brien himself was active on the recruiting trail this week, stopping to pay visits to many of the local schools that have provided Boston College with talent before.

First, the coach made a stop by St. Sebastian's School, which just this year produced tight end Kaelan Chudzinski who was a member of the 2025 signing class.

Next, O'Brien stopped by Catholic Memorial High School in West Rosbury, Mass. to check in with Eagles commit Mac Fitzgerald. He joined the 2026 class in July of 2024, and currently holds another ACC offer from Syracuse.

Finally, O'Brien was spotted at Tewksbury Memorial High School visiting coach Brian Aylward who he was college teammates with at Brown University from 1990-1992.

Boston College assistant director of recruiting Bryson Rosser was also out on the road this week, making a stop at Lawrence Academy in Groton, Mass.

Walker Snee, an upcoming quarterback in the class of 2029, announced this week that he received an invite to Boston College's upcoming quarterback camp on June 8th.
