BC offers in-state quarterback
In a big recruiting development with serious ramifications for the 2017 class, Boston College's coaching staff has offered an in-state quarterback.
Rising senior Austin Burton attends Newton South in Newton Center, and he's been on the BC recruiting radar for several months now.
Boston College has one commitment from a 2017 quarterback already. That's from EJ Perry.
The prevailing wisdom has been that the Eagles have been likely to take a second quarterback, assuming they found one they liked and had a good chance with.
Burton has camped at Boston College during the first summer session in recent days and he was offered by the staff following an impressive performance, apparently.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound pro-style quarterback took to Twitter to announce the news.
