Boston College Camp Battle Is Starting To Reveal Early Standouts

As the Eagles push through their 2026 training camp, standout performances highlight day four's competitive edge and teamwork.

The Eagles’ fourth training camp practice of 2026 brought a little bit of everything Sunday morning in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The offense flashed early, the defense answered later, and sophomore running back Bo MacCormack III finished the day with the last big moment.

The first competitive stretch came in one-on-ones, with the offensive and defensive lines and the defensive backs and receivers going at it. The receivers set the tone.

Second-year pass catcher Dawson Pough turned in the play of the day when he laid out for a diving grab after a double move toward the goal line. Nedrick Boldin Jr. followed with a catch in stride as he sprinted down the sideline, and Reed Swanson used his 6 '6 frame to haul in a contested catch in the middle of the field.

The run game also showed some pop. Evan Dickens and Nolan Ray each broke off sizable gains as the ground attack found another gear on Sunday.

"We have some really fast running backs, we've got a lot of running backs that have different skill sets as well," quarterback Mason McKenzie told the media this week. "We've got some fast guys on the outside, too. We've got speed everywhere, and that's obviously exciting."

The defense made its presence felt in the later portion of practice. Senior safety KP Price picked off a pass deep down the field to get the secondary rolling. Defensive lineman Onye Nwosisi then worked into the backfield on consecutive snaps, and safety Carter Davis added another interception later in the session.

"Having experienced guys that have played in games and made plays, that's going to be very important for this team," cornerback Max Tucker told the media yesterday.

The offense ended the day on a good note when Bo MacCormack III punched in a 30-yard run.

The Eagles are scheduled to practice again Monday for a third straight day before taking Tuesday off. Practices are closed to the public.
