Bill O’Brien’s first dip in the transfer portal as head coach at BC is off to a pretty damn good start. After locking up speedy wide receiver VJ Wilkins from Campbell over the weekend, FAU tight end Zeke Moore and Ball State running back Vaughn Pemberton joined the program on Monday night. Then, on Tuesday, the staff made its biggest splash yet. Alabama quarterback Dylan Lonergan – who had 22……

Bill Belichick is of course joining the ACC as the new head coach at North Carolina, meaning Bill O’Brien is now back in indirect competition with his former boss and mentor. The prospect of the two of them squaring off in the ACC title game…
Bill O’Brien and his staff had a late start recruiting at BC after he was hired in February, but they certainly made up for lost time. The Eagles officially announced 27 signings on National Signing Day Wednesday, with five of them coming from Massachusetts, more than any other state in this first class for O’Brien and his staff. Here’s the full list: Sevie Amar Jr. (WR) – Oxnard, CA Micah…
CHESTNUT HILL – BC made a little bit of history at Alumni Stadium on Saturday. With a 34-23 win over Pitt in the regular season finale, the Eagles won seven regular season games for the first time since 2018. Bill O’Brien’s first season at the helm isn’t done yet though of course, as BC will now wait and find out where it’s headed for bowl season after conference championships next…
Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: It’s hard to believe, but Year 1 of the Bill O’Brien Era ends on Saturday. Well, the regular season at least. The Eagles have a chance to win 7 games for the first time since 2018 if Pitt goes down. No matter what happens on Saturday, I do think there’s been more positive developments than negative ones this season and fans should be encouraged knowing…
CHESTNUT HILL – It took until the week before Thanksgiving, but BC finally has its best game of the season. The Eagles dominated UNC from start to finish on a chilly Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium, blowing out the Tar Heels 41-21. With the win, BC is officially bowl-eligible at 6-5 with one game left at home against Pitt next week. The Eagles out-gained UNC 420-212 and held the ball…
Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: Pretty simple. Win and BC gets a bowl bid. Lose and the Eagles are in a must-win game at home next Saturday against a very good Pitt team. Do the Eagles have what it takes to get the job done on the first try with the most historic team in program history in the house? 1st Down: BC absolutely has to contain Omarion Hampton. You…

The Eagles lost to 14th-ranked SMU 38-28 in a game where BC had the ball and a chance to tie or take the lead with two minutes remaining. In the end, there are no moral victories and the Eagles are now 5-5 with two home games against North…
Image courtesy of ESPN Kickoff: After a wild week where BC’s face of the program Tommy Castellanos was benched and then decided to hop in the transfer portal, the Eagles have also had to get ready for a game against the top team in the ACC and No. 14 team in the country, SMU. 1st Down: Grayson James is now the leading man in Chestnut Hill. James immediately gives BC…
Who had this on the New England football bingo card for 2024? On3’s Pete Nakos reported (and I was able to confirm) that BC quarterback – well, former BC quarterback – Thomas Castellanos will be heading to the transfer portal when the window opens on December 9th. Just three days ago, Castellanos was the starting QB of an Eagles team looking to come out of the bye strong at home…
