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."
