Boston College Football Picks up Commitment From 2027 Three-Star TE Chase Phifer

Boston College football received a commitment from 2027 consensus three-star tight end Chase Phifer out of Nease High School (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.) on Thursday evening.

The 6-foot-5-inch, 220-pound pass catcher is the Eagles’ 27th commit in the class, which now ranks No. 46 in the nation, per 247Sports.

Phifer chose the Eagles over schools like Tulane, Wake Forest, and UCF, including over a dozen more. 

He announced the decision over social media.

“100% committed,” Phifer said. “Extremely blessed and excited to announce my commitment to Boston College!! Thank you God for allowing me to play this game!”

Less than two weeks ago, Phifer received his offer from BC and took an official visit to Chestnut Hill, Mass., to speak with the coaching staff and get a taste of the school’s campus and facilities.

Last season, in which Nease went 9-3, Phifer caught 32 passes for 500 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 15.6 yards per catch.

Ranked the No. 78 tight end in the country, according to 247, he is the second tight end in the Eagles’ ‘27 class, joining Loyola Academy (Wilmette, Ill.) product Charlie Fowler.
