We caught up with Brunswick School quarterback Ben Rolapp. Rolapp committed to Boston College last week after working out for Bill O’Brien and the Eagles offensive staff.

Rolapp also held offers from Delaware, UConn, Penn, Liberty, Richmond, Georgetown, URI, Fordham, Cornell, Stony Brook, Monmouth, Miami of Ohio and Tulane.

Here is our conversation with Ben Rolapp and why he chose Boston College.

NEFJ: What made BC the right fit for you?

BR: BC was the right fit because it matched my goals of maximizing academics and athletic goals being a premier academic program and an ACC school. Also the elite coaching of Coach O’Brien.”

NEFJ: What stood out about the campus compared to others you’ve visited?

BR: “It looked like Hogwarts. Not much else to me said haha. Also in the heart of Boston which is an awesome city.”

NEFJ: What was the message from the staff in terms of what they’re building? What was dealing with the new staff like?

BR: “The new staff was amazing, (Coach) Dibs and O’Brien both are working towards the same thing and know how to coach and develop QBs. I really believe they are building something special and a lot of kids are buying in as kids are committing.”

NEFJ: Obviously with a history of some legendary QBs like Ryan and Flutie, how much did wanting to be part of that legacy factor in?

BR: “I would say it absolutely played a factor to see that people have done it at the highest level that go to BC. Would love to mirror my career like Matt Ryan, maybe not Flutie (Jets fan).”

NEFJ: What should BC fans know about you?

BR: “A kid who is ready to put his head down and work!”
