CHESTNUT HILL- According to CBS Sports College Football Insider Matt Zenitz, Boston College offensive coordinator Will Lawing is leaving the program. Lawing is leaving to pursue opportunities in the NFL, specifically with the Chicago Bears.

So, new GM Kenyatta Watson, Bill O’Brien have now had the…
Boston College is expected to hire Mike Hart as its new running backs coach. The news, was first reported by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Hart, the all-time leading rusher in Michigan history, arrives at Alumni Stadium with an elite pedigree as both a record-breaking player and a championship-winning assistant.

Boston College picked up its second transfer portal commitment on Sunday with Saginaw Valley State quarterback Mason McKenzie committing to the Eagles.
McKenzie had several schools pursing him in the portal including Northwestern, Temple and Colorado State but Boston College was linked to him early on and he committed to Bill O’Brien and the Eagles.
Boston College got their second commitment in two days on Sunday when Buffalo EDGE Demetrius Ballard committed to the Eagles.
The 6’6 255 pound Ballard redshirted in 2024 after appearing in just two games. This past season, as a redshirt freshman, Ballard racked up 12 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks.
As the transfer portal officially opens today, Bill O’Brien and the Boston College staff find themselves at a crossroads. Coming off a challenging 2–10 season, the roster is undergoing a massive transformation, with over 20 players already intending to depart.
