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…
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.

We’ll be watching five things very closely, despite the Eagles keeping things pretty vanilla when…

If you follow Coach Huge on Twitter, you know…
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…
The Boston College football program secured its second four star commitment for the Class of 2021 last night as Nobles and Greenough guard Drew Kendall committed to the Eagles. Landing Kendall, the son of former Eagle and 13 year NFL veteran Pete Kendall was a huge pick up for Jeff Hafley and his staff. Kendall held off on committing before the season or even signing on Wednesday because he wanted…
