SHOCK: Boston College Offensive Line Faces REVOLUTION Under Kurt Anderson—Could It SURPRISE in '26?

·29 min·1 clip

BC lost Bowery, Taylor, Kline, and Daugherty—and brought in transfers from Power 5 and FCS programs with real experience.

The premise is simple. Boston College has a new positional coach, a lot of unfamiliar offensive line names, and a room the host thinks fans may be writing off too quickly. He does not pretend the mess up front was imaginary. In his read, the problems came from young players being young, guys moving around, and veterans who did not exactly lock anything down. That is why he keeps coming back to development instead of panic. Papa Seye is the cleanest example. The host remembers him looking nowhere near ready as a true freshman, then looking much more comfortable as a redshirt freshman. If that jump keeps going, his size and better technique make him more than a camp long shot. Michael Crowns gets a similar, cautious vote. The host is not calling him solved, but he likes that Crowns is finally getting real time at center. Sometimes reps change the conversation. The bigger swing is BJJ. The host sees huge size, athleticism, and a quick learner in a player bigger programs wanted. He is careful with that part too, pointing to national 247 voices hearing that plenty of schools were interested, with Mississippi State as one example. So, is the line fixed? No. That is not the sell. The point is that the questions come with actual growth traits, not just empty depth chart hope. The basketball side gets a tease as well, with Earl Grant's 10th win and odd postgame comments, but the energy here stays on the offensive line. The verdict lands hopeful, with the brakes still on. Boston College has plenty to sort out up front, but the host sees enough raw material for a real spring camp surprise.
