Mater Dei 2027 quarterback Furian Inferrera commits to Boston College

For a sophomore who has thrown 16 varsity passes in his career at his current high school, Furian Inferrera had a big announcement on Monday.
The backup quarterback for defending mythical national high school champion Mater Dei High School let people know that he would be announcing his college plans around 4 p.m. PDT Monday.
He wasted no time and picked Atlantic Coast Conference's Boston College. The Eagles finished smack dab in the middle of the ACC pack in 2024 with a 7-6 record and 4-4 in conference play.
According to recruiting site 247Sports, the 6-3, 210-pound Class of 2027 signal-caller holds seven offers, including Nebraska, Oregon State and Pittsburg.
He is the second 2027 commit for the Eagles following behind Catholic Memorial (West Roxbury, Mass.) safety Jackson Tucker who committed on Oct. 7.
Inferrera's commitment is part of a growing trend, especially among quarterbacks, to fill future college spots early due to the revolving door roster changes created by changing, more lenient transfer portal rules.
According to a NBC Sports report, the total number of NCAA football players across all divisions who entered the the portal in 2023-24 exceeded 11,000.
The wide-spread movements are also apparent among elite high school programs, most notably Mater Dei. It appeared that Inferrera had a shot at playing time as a sophomore but then Washington commit Dash Beierly transferred in from Chaparral of Temecula during the winter of 2024.
Beierly was the clear No. 1 choice, had a superb season, accounting for more than 2,600 yards and 31 touchdowns. In December he signed with Washington, where he's currently enrolled.
Meanwhile, Inferrera did a superb job backing up Beierly, completing 12 of 16 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. He played in nine games, largely handing the ball off during lopsided wins.
Inferrera likely will have some stiff competition heading into next fall after JSerra Catholic three-star quarterback Ryan Hopkins enrolled to Mater Dei last month, according to the Orange County Register, after spending the last three seasons at the Trinity League rival.
In his first season as starter in 2024, Hopkins earned first-team All-Trinity League honors for the 6-5 Lions.
