Boston College landed possibly their biggest recruit of the 2017 class today as St. Peter's Prep offensive lineman Ben Petrula committed to the Eagles:

Petrula, a 3* offensive tackle (4* on 247!), weighs in a 321 lbs, and measures at 6'5. His offer sheet is something to behold, as he holds offers from UNC, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Virginia, Rutgers, Kentucky, Temple and UCF. Easily one of the best offer sheets BC has had in the past two years.
This is another great sign to keep open the St. Peter's pipeline. They have had great success in the past with players like Charlie Callinan, and Jon Hilliman, but lost a previously committed wide receiver/defensive back KJ Gray in 2016. This school has a ton of talent year in and year out, and grabbing some of that needs to be a priority for the school. You can check out his HUDL below:
