The number has been very popular with BC linemen that have included Matt Bourke, Dan Cordeau, Dan Collins, John Wetzel, Marc Persuitte, along with two defensive tackles Steve Turner and Steve Turner. Marc Parenteau a starting offensive lineman, is currently playing in the CFL for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

On his experience at BC camps: " "The coaches made me feel at home and told me they really liked my talents and thought my best days were ahead of me. I really think I did well at their camp and coaches must have agreed. They set me aside after the camp and told me they wanted to officially offer me. I feel honored to have an offer from them and Boston College will continue to stay at the top of my list regardless of what happens in my recruitment."
