Charlie Callinan, a 6-foot-4, 200 pound wide receiver out of St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City, has committed to Boston College per his Twitter account. Rated as a three-star recruit per Rivals.com, the NJ wide out chooses BC over offers from Connecticut and Rutgers.
I made the decision to commit to Boston College. I'm blessed to be a part of the BC family

Callinan is the second commit from St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City in as many years, following in the footsteps of tight end Michael Giacone. Giacone switched his commitment from Rutgers to BC back in January following Greg Schiano's departure from Piscataway.
Callinan is the 17th overall commitment in the Class of 2013 and the fourth wide receiver, as the program seem to be loading up on guys that will fit into coordinator Doug Martin's offense.
