Image courtesy of BC Athletics A large chunk of the local and national football world will be in Chestnut Hill on Monday morning. Boston College is set to host its Pro Day. With 27 NFL franchises set to be represented, along with teams from the UFL and dozens of local and national reporters, BC will be quite a popular place to be. From a Patriots perspective, there’s a few names……
WORCESTER – If you watched Holy Cross play regularly last year, you know they weren’t a 3-9 team. Unfortunately, that’s what the record was despite losing mostly all close games. It’s added fuel to the fire heading into 2026 and that was evident during our spring visit with the Crusaders on Thursday night. Practice was only about an hour and 20 minutes, but it was fast and purposeful with plenty…
WORCESTER – The parking lot wasn’t nearly as full as it has been in some past years when Holy Cross has hosted a Pro Day, but some good work still got done on Thursday. Nine local college players from Holy Cross, Merrimack, Curry, Nichols and even a former BC basketball player participated in the hour-long workout with scouts from the Patriots, Packers and Chiefs on hand. This was the first…
Image courtesy of Curry Athletics WORCESTER – Last year, the whole football world was talking about Curry College’s Montie Quinn for a weekend. That’s because Quinn made history back in October, setting the NCAA all-time rushing record (at any level) for a game with a ridiculous 522 yards in a 71-27 win over Nichols. Making it even more amazing, was that he did it on just 20 carries and also…
While a large majority of Division 1 programs across the country are no longer running ‘spring games,’ UConn is taking the opportunity to introduce a very new program to its loyal fan base. On Wednesday morning, the Huskies announced details for a spring game on April 11. Tailgating, a meet-and-greet with the team and stuff for kids like face painting, caricature artists, photo booths, lawn games and other activities at…

Former Xaverian star Micah Amedee and former Springfield Central standout Josiah Griffin are both poised to make big jumps for the Eagles….
Image courtesy of The New England Patriots On Monday, the Patriots put out the official coaching staff with full titles for 2026. This of course is much different than how things operated for 20+ years under Bill Belichick, where titles weren’t always clear due to financial commitments some of them would require. Now, Mike Vrabel is all about transparency and treating coaches like actual human beings, which is refreshing. The…
Image courtesy of The New England Patriots The Pats are keeping it local. On Monday morning, New Balance and the Patriots announced a partnership that makes New Balance the official footwear and apparel partner of the team and Gillette Stadium. The new practice facility set to open this spring will also be known as The New Balance Athletics Center. The practice fields will be known as the New Balance Practice…
Image courtesy of Liberty Athletics CHESTNUT HILL – Evan Dickens was at Liberty last year, rushing for 1,339 yards and 16 touchdowns. Now, can he do it at the ACC level? That’s the question that every guy coming from conferences like Conference USA face. The players coming from the FCS level or Division 2 ball face it even more as they make the jump up in competition. But, you hear…
CHESTNUT HILL – From about the third practice on in training camp last summer, Kaelan Chudzinski was clearly one of the top tight ends at Boston College. Not only did his size stand out, but his catch radius and ability to haul in just about anything thrown his way was impressive. His physicality after the catch, whether lowering his shoulder or dragging a defender, stood out. Even with new Alabama…
