Five Biggest Surprises from Boston College 2026 Fall Camp
- Boston College running back Bo MacCormack added the strength needed to run through arm tackles while retaining his burst, although Evan Dickens and Nolan Ray are still expected to receive more work.
- Defensive tackle Micah Amedee returned from his 2025 injury at 280 pounds and consistently collapsed pockets during camp, potentially supplying interior pressure that Boston College lacked last season.
- Freshman receiver DJ Biggins repeatedly made difficult catches in camp, but Bill O'Brien said the depth ahead of him could keep him off the field unless injuries create an opening.
- Defensive back Charlie Comella reportedly produced 10 to 12 takeaways during spring and fall work, strengthening his case for defensive snaps beyond his established special-teams role.
- Freshman linebacker Steve Klein repeatedly stood out with assignment recognition and finishing ability during camp and could enter Boston College's defensive rotation earlier than expected.
