After a 2-10 season in head coach Bill O’Brien’s second year at the helm, the Boston College football program expanded its recruiting staff in a major way.That primarily consisted of hiring former Auburn Assistant General Manager Kenyatta Watson, who played on the Heights from 1993-96 as a wide receiver/return specialist and was a key piece in the Tigers’ recruiting efforts since he joined the staff after spending two years at Georgia Tech as the Director of Scouting.In both 2024 and 2025, Watson constructed consensus top-10 recruiting classes nationally for Auburn, and he is looking to do something similar for the Eagles now, in his new position at his alma mater.Here is a look at all the commits in BC’s 2027 recruiting class so far, and how the program looks from a national perspective in the recruiting realm.Boston College Eagles On SI will update this tracker the second a new player commits, or if a former commit decides to re-open their recruitment.Boston College Football's 2027 Commits:1.
