Thamel reported that there were $600,000 and $300,000 deals on the table had Flowers chosen to leave. As one of 14 children with a single parent, no…

A little more than a year after his arrival, Woodbey has become the leader of one of the most talented secondaries in the ACC. The Eagles secondary was impressive in Saturday’s spring game and the reason for that according to Woodbey is in the details. “I feel like we…

Christian Mahogany is one of the top guards in the country. After yesterday’s spring game, Mahogany might also be one of the Wildcat quarterbacks in the country. In the first half of yesterday’s game, Team Boston had a first and goal at the two. When they broke the huddle, Mahogany didn’t line up at his normal right guard spot. He lined up at quarterback. He took the direct snap and…

As odd as it may seem, there are still some “firsts” to be had in the Jeff Hafley era. On Saturday morning at 11, the Eagles will have their first real spring game under Coach Hafley in what should be a very entertaining couple of hours that will also be airing live on ACC Network. We’ll be watching five things very closely, despite the Eagles keeping things pretty vanilla when…

The Cleveland Browns might have the “Dawg Pound,” but Alumni Stadium is turning into a dog house this year. Not just any dog house, a Big Dog house. Under the tutelage of new two-time Super Bowl champion O-line coach Dave DeGuglielmo, the guys tasked with replacing arguably the greatest offensive line in BC history are all hungry and ready to eat. If you follow Coach Huge on Twitter, you know…

Boston College: Connor Lytton might be one of the best kept secrets in the ACC & could be a big piece to the BC puzzle in 2022

Throughout the offseason, the talk surrounding Boston College has been about a new offensive line, the Jurkovec return, how special Zay Flowers can be and a number of questions on defense. Rightfully so. Lost in the shuffle is the fact that there’s a weapon on special teams that fans and the media are completely forgetting about. Connor Lytton had a fantastic freshman year kicking for the Eagles after taking over…

Boston College: Former Hendricken receiver, BC outfielder Baldelli rekindles love affair with football at Pro Day

March 28, 2022

You never know unless you try. It’s something we should probably all try to live by, but many (including myself) fail to do so. The same can’t be said for former BC baseball player Dante Baldelli. Baldelli – who played football during his days at Bishop Hendricken in Rhode Island and is the brother of Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli – played outfield for the Eagles for five years, but…

Brandon Barlow has been a leader for the BC defense on and off the field, but on Friday afternoon at the Eagles’ Pro Day, Barlow was just trying to focus on himself. Barlow was one of 14 members of the 2021 team that took part in Pro Day.

Boston College: Pro Day gives some Eagles one final chance at a reunion and a job interview

CHESTNUT HILL – As college football fans or media members, we often forget that 17-21 year old kids are simply playing a game they love while trying to learn how to become adults. On Saturdays, the only story we care about is how the team does. They obviously do too, but players are also trying to create their own legacies and write their own stories aside from the team result….
