Boston College Football Lands Commitment From 2028 Tabor Academy DB

Thought the Boston College football program was done with its recruiting efforts this summer? Wrong.

On Tuesday, the Eagles landed a commitment from 2028 defensive back Mikey Landers, who attends Tabor Academy in Marion, Mass.

Landers announced his verbal commitment via X (formerly known as Twitter).

“I am grateful and excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at [Boston College],” said Landers. “Thank you to my parents, coaches, and everyone who supported me along the way! Go Eagles.”

A 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pound multi-sport athlete, Landers originally hails from Duxbury, Mass. He is the second player from Tabor to commit to the program in the last few weeks, joining 2027 three-star offensive lineman Dominic Maser.

On June 21, after a workout and conversation with the coaching staff, Landers landed an offer from BC, which was the first Division-I offer that came his way.

“At the Tabor Academy Evaluation Showcase, Mikey Landers emerged as a premier underclassman who effortlessly passed the initial eye test,” wrote Scouting New England, a local prospect site. “He possesses a remarkably long, lean, and athletic frame that immediately draws college coaches’ attention.”

“Despite his exceptional length, he showed great footwork, getting in and out of his breaking points efficiently. He displayed very quick feet, highly fluid hips, and excellent overall speed and quickness during secondary drills. Landers topped off his dominant day by showcasing reliable hands. His rare blend of prototypical FBS size, and fluid DB mechanics makes him a high-priority recruit in the class of 2028.”

Landers did not post his stats from this past season — his sophomore campaign — but he picked up NEPSAC First-Team, All-Class B honors amid a 9-0 year for the Seawolves en route to a Class B Championship.

Landers is the second verbal commit in the Eagles’ 2028 recruiting class. He joins Catholic Memorial linebacker Joe Fitzgerald.

He is not currently ranked on any of the football recruiting websites.
