Recruiting news has been slow lately for the Eagles, but today they broke through with a new commitment, this time from LB Grady Higgins. Higgins a 6'1 219lb linebacker from Santa Margarita, CA, has committed to Boston College according to Greg Biggins of Scout.com
Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif) Santa Margarita LB Grady Higgins has committed to #BostonCollege http://t.co/iPvk0aDLAK

Higgins' offer list includes Holy Cross, UNH, Northern Arizona North Dakota, and Idaho. Guessing by the late commitment and his offers that Higgins is going to be a preferred walk on. Last year BC grabbed two players late in the game with commitments that ended up being preferred walk ons (Will Mahar and Hunter Forte). Higgins had no rating or stars according to rivals.
You can find his highlight reel below. Welcome to the Heights Grady!
