Gethers, a cornerback from Pennsylvania, currently does not have a rating on Rivals or 247. He has claimed offers from Howard, Buffalo, Albany and Morgan State. He is the second Eagle to come from Bishop McDevitt, joining wide receiver Kobay White who is currently a redshirt freshman. According to an article about Gethers, he runs a 4.48 40, which probably caught the eyes of the Boston College coaching staff.
Gethers is either the 1st or 2nd defensive back in this class, depending on where the Eagles decide to use Evan Stewart. He is the 1st commit from the state of Pennsylvania.
According to Clevis Murray’s Twitter (who is well worth a follow for BC recruiting news) he had talked to Gether’s and had some interesting quotes:
Aaron Gethers to me on committing to Boston College: "Boston College was the first to show love."

Gethers: "The atmosphere there is great."

More of Gethers: "I'm real close with the coaches and there's something special happening in BC so I want to be apart of it."

Gethers '18 on what he brings to BC: "I see myself contributing early and someone who will compete and do anything to win."
