Boston College's Freak EDGE Rising | Boston College Football News

Boston College’s defense is heating up, with standout defensive linemen like Onye Nwosisi and Kris Jones dominating the spotlight — but the real breakout star might be sophomore EDGE rusher Israel Oladipupo. Listed among The Athletic’s 2026 “Freaks,” the six-foot-three, 250-pounder boasts jaw-dropping strength, squatting over 400 pounds and showing elite power. Though he saw limited action last year (just two tackles in seven games), Oladipupo was a top recruit from Indiana and racked up over 130 tackles in high school. With big expectations for this season, he’s poised to transform raw talent into game-changing impact — and could be the next big name on Boston College’s defensive roster.
