Chase Rettig - QB - Eagles

Boston College senior QB Chase Rettig has a career completion percentage of 53.4.

"Rettig has improved his footwork in the pocket to step up and avoid pressure, but he is a limited athlete and his lower half is too inconsistent in his throwing motion," CBS Sports' Dane Brugler writes. "He has a bad habit of staring down his targets and not effectively using his eyes to hold defenders with questionable field vision, struggling to see all 11 defenders." We were impressed with Rettig at times, but he's closer to a late third day prospect at this time.

Kaleb Ramsey - DL - Eagles

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler ranked senior DT Kaleb Ramsey as Boston College's third best prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft.

This will be Ramsey's sixth season with the Eagles. "Ramsey needs to improve his leverage and keep his pad level low, but obviously the biggest obstacle standing between him and the NFL is durability," according to Brugler.

Alex Amidon - WR - Eagles

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler believes senior WR Alex Amidon is Boston College's top prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft.

Amidon "has only adequate height and build, but he plays bigger with a fearless demeanor over the middle, showing the toughness needed to finish contested grabs," according to Brugler. He should put forth a strong senior season thanks to solid chemistry with quarterback Chase Rettig.

Alex Amidon - WR - Eagles

NFL.com's Gil Brandt ranks Boston College's Alex Amidon as his No. 5 senior WR.

Vanderbilt's Jordan Matthews, Texas' Mike Davis, BYU's Cody Hoffman, and Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis ranked ahead of Amidon. The latter put forth a great statistical season in 2012, and will hope to duplicate it in 2013. We would include Oklahoma's Jalen Saunders on this list.

Chase Rettig - QB - Eagles

Boston College is telling recruits that they expect to implement more spread or read-option calls on offense starting in 2013.

This is a change for head coach Steve Addazio, who has a history of pounding the rock between the tackles with running backs who thrive on single cut, upfield games. Eagles quarterback CHase Rettig is not overly mobile, but he could do well in a quick read system. There are times where he holds the ball too long while in the pocket, however.

Dillon Quinn - DL - Eagles

Senior DT Dillon Quinn has left the Boston College football program for personal reasons.

Quinn has missed a majority of the season with a leg injury, and this likely ends his disappointing career with the Eagles after being the program's highest rated signee in 2009. The senior had 4.5 tackles for loss, including a sack, for his career.

Chase Rettig - QB - Eagles

Boston College junior QB Chase Rettig completed 21-of-39 attempts for 287 yards and two touchdowns Saturday against Maryland.

Rettig was sacked a handful of times, which is an area he struggles with, but the junior is rarely discussed in the quarterback conversation. There are times when Rettig looks great, but he is known to make poor decisions, although he stayed away from mistakes today.

Kaleb Ramsey - DL - Eagles

Boston College senior DT Kaleb Ramsey is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Clemson with a foot injury.

Ramsey is absolutely an NFL prospect, especially when flashing while penetrating upfield, so this is a big loss for the team's big game against Clemson. Junior defensive end Kasim Edebali will also miss the game with a should injury. Senior running back Andre Ellington could be in for a huge day since the Tigers' are missing two of their top four receivers.

Bobby Swigert - WR - Eagles

Boston College junior WR Bobby Swigert will miss the season opener against Miami with a left knee injury.

Swigert was hurt during the team's scrimmage on Wednesday. No details were given other than head coach Frank Spaziani announcing that the junior will miss several weeks healing from the injury. Swigert was a projected starter and made 44 catches for 470 yards and three touchdowns in 2011.

Al Louis-Jean - DB - Eagles

Boston College sophomore CB Al Louis-Jean will miss multiple games after suffering a left foot injury on Monday.

Louis-Jean is one of the Eagles' best players, so the injury is a significant one. He played in 10 games as a true freshman last fall and recorded 15 tackles, three pass break-ups, one interception and one forced fumble. No details have been released, but we expect the sophomore to apply for a medical redshirt and sit out the 2012 season if the injury is significant.

Chris Pantale - TE - Eagles

Boston College senior TE Chris Pantale broke a bone in his foot during Friday's practice, according to head coach Frank Spaziani.

Spaziani added that Pantale will miss a "significant" portion of time. The senior started every game the last two seasons for the Eagles and registered 236 receiving yards on 21 catches in 2011. Junior Mike Naples is ticketed to take Pantale's spot in the starting lineup.

Chase Rettig - QB - Eagles

Another season of preparations at Boston College means another system for Chase Rettig.

Rettig had three offensive coordinators in his first two seasons at BC. With spring practice underway on Chestnut Hill, he is preparing under a fourth: former Kent State coach Doug Martin. Rettig, who returns along with a few experienced receivers, says the whole offense has changed and everybody is buying in. Rettig started all 12 games for the 4-8 Eagles last season and threw for 1,960 yards with 12 TDs and 9 picks.

Ifeanyi Momah - WR - Eagles

The NCAA has denied Boston College receiver Ifeanyi Momah a sixth year of eligibility.

A torn left ACL suffered in last season’s opener against Northwestern cost Momah the remainder of the season. The school and Momah made their intentions known that a petition for a sixth year of eligibility would be filed. It was another knee injury that cost Momah all of 2009. Ironically, against Northwestern in what proved to be his final game, Momah easily established career bests with 8 passes and 171 yards. He was 39-629-6 in his career at BC.

Luke Kuechly - LB - Eagles

Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly won the Lombardi Award given the nation's top lineman or linebacker.

Luke Kuechly - LB - Eagles

Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly returned an interception 45 yards for a TD in the Eagles’ 24-17 win over host Miami.

It is only fitting that in a game in which he had a season-low 9 total tackles, Kuechly would have a critical pick that he returned 45 yards for a score. The early-fourth quarter TD gave BC a 24-14 lead in the 24-17 win. Kuechly’s previous low for tackles this season was 11 against UMass on Sept. 24. The nation’s leader in tackles and solo tackles finished the season with 191 tackles for an average of 15.9 per game. The junior had six solos to finish 102/8.5.
