Luke Murrays First BC Class Sends An Early Message To Eagles Fans

Coach Luke Murray's Boston College men's basketball team secures two top-tier recruits, strengthening their position among the nation's elite programs.

Boston College’s first signing day class under new head coach Luke Murray is already making a national statement.

Tre Keith and Elijah Paez have both signed their National Letters of Intent to join the Eagles, giving Boston College a class that currently ranks 26th in the country via 247Sports.

Keith, a 6-2 combo guard from Tri-Cities High School in Atlanta, arrives after a strong 3SSB season in which he averaged 21 points, five rebounds and three assists per game. He has been a steady producer at Tri-Cities, where he has put up 19.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game across 88 games, while shooting 49% from the field, 38% from three and 80% at the line.

Murray sees a guard with real scoring punch and plenty more beyond that.

"Tre Keith is one of the country's best-scoring point guards," The Clement and Elizabeth Izzi Family Head Coach, Luke Murray said of Keith. "First, he brings an excellent personal and athletic pedigree.

Tre's parents have done a remarkable job of instilling in him the characteristics we look for in Boston College men. On the floor, Tre can really shoot; he's dynamic as a playmaker, and he has the potential to be an elite on-ball defender.

We expect Tre to be the next in the long line of excellent Eagle guards."

Keith, a 4-star recruit according to Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN, signs with Boston College as the No. 45 player in the country. The Atlanta native is also ranked by 247Sports as the No. 12 combo guard nationally and the No. 6 overall player in Georgia. He was also named to the Atlanta All-Metro High School Boys' Preseason Watch List heading into the 2026-27 season.

Paez brings a different profile to Chestnut Hill. The 6-5 wing is finishing his final season at Iowa United Prep in Norwalk, Iowa, and also spent time with Drive Nation in the EYBL U17 circuit for the 2026 session.

"We're very excited to welcome Elijah and his family to our basketball program and the Boston College community," Murray said of Paez. "Elijah is a worker; he has not been gifted anything in his pursuit of becoming a high-level player.

Blessed with real versatility, Elijah helps you win all over the floor. He's proven to be a steady climber as a prospect; his best days are ahead of him in an Eagle uniform and I look forward to him becoming a fan favorite in Chestnut Hill."

Paez is also a 4-star recruit by Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN. According to 247Sports composite rankings, he comes in as the No. 27 small forward in the country and the No. 3 overall player in Iowa.

Boston College Faces One Big Test Against Notre Dame Spread

Notre Dames win over the No. 1-ranked Miami Hurricanes has only sharpened the attention on what comes next, and Boston College is the program standing in the way. The Irish have a quarterback in C.J.

The betting market has already reflected that gap, with the spread leaning heavily toward the Irish after their latest statement win. Still, Boston College has enough in its run game and defensive backfield to make this more than a routine follow-up spot, which is why the line has become part of the conversation around the matchup. For the Eagles, the challenge is less about reputation than execution, and whether they can turn a daunting assignment into something tighter than the oddsmakers expect. [Read more 🡒]
