While the BC offense continues to get all the hype, the BC defense is quietly going about its work. What many people may not realize is that this defense could be in a position to have one of its best seasons in years, simply because of the veteran leadership that’s returning. Two guys in particular who (seemingly) have been in Chestnut Hill forever are Marcus Valdez and Vinny DePalma. Both…
If you listened to any of head coach Jeff Hafley’s statements during ACC Media Day a few weeks ago, you could hear a different tone in his voice when talking about the team. Hafley and the rest of the Eagles are tired of just talking about why things are going to be different. Now in his third season, but really his first true training camp after two years of Covid…

The Eagles’ offense has been getting all the attention – rightfully so – but the BC defense believes it can be special too. “We’re looking to be the best defense in the conference, in the country this year in terms of every…
Photo: BC Football The BC football season still doesn’t start for just over a month officially, but Wednesday provided Eagles fans with a fix they were craving ahead of camp starting. The ACC and ACC Network kicked off its two days of media coverage and season previews down in North Carolina Wednesday with Atlantic Division players and coaches representing each school. The Coastal Division will go through the media “car…
On Tuesday morning, the future of Boston College football may have changed dramatically without the Eagles doing anything.

Photo: @BCFootball Things will ramp back up for BC in a month or so, but on Friday afternoon, Athlon Sports had five players from the Eagles squad on its preseason All-ACC teams. Christian Mahogany, Zay Flowers, Pat Garwo, Jaiden Woodbey and Josh DeBerry were named to the team. DeBerry and Mahogany were first team selections, Flowers and Garwo second team and Woodbey third team. It’s somewhat stunning Flowers wasn’t also…
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…
As Boston College enters another week of spring practice, the offense is getting adjusted to what new OC John McNulty wants from them. When the season gets closer, all eyes will be on Phil Jurkovec and Zay Flowers, but there is another guy in that wide receiver room that people seem to forget about when talking about the Eagles’ offense and their potential. Jaelen Gill is entering his third year…
Tuesday morning BC players quickly ran from the locker room inside Alumni Stadium to Fish Field House trying to beat the early frigid temperatures. There was yelling, singing, full sprints and some light jogs. The energy was up for the second spring practice session as the Eagles begin to lay the foundation for what they hope is a special season. It’s hard not to be impressed with just how much…

We also found out that the Eagles’ spring game will be April 9 and air live on ACC Network. Year three of the Hafley era officially begins September 3 when…
