Not really earth shattering news but Hunter Forte, of Chaminade Prep in St. Louis tweeted out today that he committed to play football for the Eagles:
Officially accepted the offer to play football for Boston College. Can't wait to be an Eagle!

Forte is a Class of 2014 recruit, meaning he will be joining the Eagles in the fall. He doesn't have much out there on the internet, so it's hard to get a read on who he is and what he will be able to do. Given his lack of offers, and the timing of the commit it can most likely be inferred that he is going to be a walk on, and at what position, not sure. According to his HUDL film he plays both LB positions and full back.
He seems a bit on the smaller side, listed on his maxprep page as 6'0 and 190lbs, so he might be more of a practice squad, special teamer, but given Steve Addazio's training regiment you never know. BC showed at the spring game that they can use whatever warm bodies they can get, and Hunter Forte gives them a few extra hands for practices.
