Boston College’s recruiting momentum kept rolling through the end of the week, and the latest addition came on Thursday when three-star tight end Chase Phifer announced his commitment to the Eagles.
Phifer is now the 27th commit in Boston College’s 2027 class, adding another piece to a group that has picked up steam in recent weeks. He made his decision public on X, writing, “100% committed,” Phifer wrote on X.
“Extremely blessed and excited to announce my commitment to Boston College!! Thank you God for allowing me to play this game!”
The 6-foot-5 tight end picked Boston College over Wake Forest, UCF, Memphis, Coastal Carolina, UComm, Toledo, Tulane, and others. His offer from head coach Bill O’Brien and the Eagles came just two weeks ago, and he wasted little time getting to campus. After that visit, along with meetings with the staff and a tour of the facilities, Phifer gave his pledge to Boston College.
His commitment follows another recent win for the Eagles, who have been active across multiple classes. Boston College had already landed its second commit in the 2028 class in Mikey Landers, and before that, the staff added three-star defensive and offensive lineman Krystian Walcott in the 2027 cycle.
Walcott, a 6-foot-4 standout from Buford High School in Georgia, had originally committed to Miami (Ohio) before flipping to Boston College. He brought a long list of offers with him, including Auburn, Florida State, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Oregon, giving the Eagles another highly regarded prospect in the trenches.

The former North Carolina receiver arrives with some college experience and a reputation for doing a little bit of everything, which matters for a team trying to replace production while also finding dependable depth in a reworked rotation.
Green is expected to push for a starting role and could also give Boston College another option on special teams, but his path has not been perfectly smooth. He missed significant camp time with a groin injury, leaving the Eagles with more evaluation to do before they can settle on how the new-look receiver group will sort itself out. [Read more 🡒]
