Blaize Battaglia Commits to Boston College

Boston College just landed a major recruit for 2027: linebacker Blaize Battaglia, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound powerhouse from Milton, Georgia. After visiting campus this spring and being wooed by head coach Bill OBrien, defensive coordinator Ted Roof, and linebacker coach Dan OBrien, Battaglia committed Thursday over strong suitors like Kansas, Maryland, and UNLV. A two-time state champion with 121 tackles and 14 QB hurries last season, Battaglia fits BC’s rebuilding defense and feels like a top priority. With three transfers already signed and fellow commits Will Mettee and Mekhi Volcy inbound, Battaglia’s decision underscores how coaching relationships can seal the deal—and signals a bright future for Chestnut Hill’s defense.
