Boston College offensive lineman making quite the statement in all-star game practices

January 30, 2025

Boston College is known as O-Line U and this week, Jack Conley, Drew Kendall and Ozzy Trapilo are proving that Boston College is once again an offensive line factory. All three have had a great week of practice thus far. Conley and Kendall have turns heads at the East-West Shrine practices while Trapilo has garnered national attention at the Senior Bowl practices. Conley in particular has helped his draft stick…

Now a redshirt junior, Kendall is viewed as a veteran leader who legitimately leads the offense (he does have the ball in his hand first every play). With a new regime taking over the program, the buy-in from guys like Kendall and others is huge early on in this process….

BC’s O-line resurgence not a surprise to those in the building

November 8, 2023

Image courtesy of BC Athletics The BC running attack is now one of the best in the country for a few different reasons, but the main reason is the offensive line. The unit has answered every question and then some this year, dominating most games up front and opening up huge holes for whichever running back has been healthy that particular week. On Monday, I asked Christian Mahogany – arguably…

Kendall confident BC O-line will return to form

They all heard the noise throughout the regular season and the offseason. BC’s offensive line knows last year was ugly. You don’t need to remind them. With 2022 now a part of the past, the Eagles were back inside (and outside) Fish Field House Thursday morning for the first day of training camp. There’s a disdain amongst the group for how last year went and they’re out to show that…

BC Confident Run Game Will Return To Form in 2023

March 29, 2023

Image courtesy of BC Athletics To say the BC run game was lackluster last year would be unfair to lackluster things. The running game was downright non-existent last season. For so many years, the Eagles may not have had much, but they always had tough, physical, hard-nosed running game. Since head coach Jeff Hafley has arrived that hasn’t always been the case. Now, with a revamped O-line room and a…

Now healthy, Drew Kendall & BC O-line looking for a big turnaround

The Eagles up front heard all the noise last year. It was impossible not to hear it given how loud it was at times. BC’s offensive line was in shambles and simply never recovered. Well, 2022 is over with and through three spring practices in 2023, the confidence all of the big guys have in each other up front is glaring. There’s depth, size, agility and some downright nastiness in…

Boston College: Hafley firmly behind offensive line despite early season struggles

September 13, 2022

Photo – @BCFootball Fans are a lot less patient than coaches. That’s why they’re fans. It’s no secret that the Boston College offensive line has struggled early this season. But, there are a bunch of factors going against the guys up front right now that many fans are just glossing over while immediately making outrageous statements about 18-20 year old kids. Youth and inexperience is at the forefront of the…

Boston College: We’ll be watching 5 things closely during BC’s spring game on Saturday

April 8, 2022

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…

Boston College: While the rest of the country doubts BC’s O-line, the Big Dogs are ready to eat

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: Local guys getting first NCAA bowl prep experience

A year ago, Drew Kendall and Ozzy Trapilo were in quite a different position than they are now. Kendall was about a month away from officially becoming an Eagle with a mid-year enrollment in January and he was working out at Noble & Greenough ahead of lacrosse season a few months away. Meanwhile, Trapilo was wearing the maroon and gold already, but he was getting ready for basketball season as…
