It's Boston College for Ramsey

Uniontown, Pa., native Kaleb Ramsey held several scholarship offers, but in the end chose to give his verbal pledge to Boston College. Once a quarterback at the high school level, Ramsey will get to continue developing on the defensive side of the ball in college as the Eagles like him at end.

Boston College picked up another verbal commitment this week, however this one came on the defensive side of the ball in Kaleb Ramsey, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound defensive end from Laurel Highlands High School. After narrowing the field down to three schools in Boston College, Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech recently, it was only a matter of sitting down and figuring out which fit him best.

“I think the opportunities I have to play big-time football in the ACC and also receive an excellent education at Boston College played a big part in why I decided to give them my verbal commitment,” Ramsey said. “I plan on majoring in business or some sort of education and feel I will get the support I need there. It’s just a great combination of football and academics at BC.”

“I was also very impressed with the city of Boston, the campus and the coaching staff when I visited and throughout the recruiting process,” Ramsey added. “I have built a good relationship with Coach (Ben) Sirmans and when I met the staff on visits I was definitely impressed with them. The campus is really beautiful there and it is also very small which is what I wanted. I guess overall it just felt like the right fit.”

As a junior, Ramsey registered 90 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
