Boston College played host to many talented prospects from the 2026 recruiting class and beyond this past weekend. Bill O'Brien and his staff have compiled one of the top-15 recruiting classes in the nation at this point and have shown no signs of slowing down yet.

2026 running back Amar'e Glover was one of many players in attendance. He spoke with Boston College on SI about his first trip to Chestnut Hill and shared his reaction to seeing spring practice as well as opened up on his relationship with the Eagles' coaching staff.

Glover praised O'Brien's offensive philosophy and how it helps the running back position, saying, "I know [O'Brien] runs a more modern, pro-style offense which allows me to showcase all of my abilities out of the backfield."

He continued, "I feel as though I'm one of the most versatile backs in the country with my ability to run the rock in any system, as well as catch passes out of the backfield or in the slot."

As a junior at Middletown High School in Delaware, Glover appeared in eight games and ran for over 500 yards with three touchdowns. He is a 6-foot, 205 lb. back with the ability to both create yards for himself with power and burn defenders with speed.

Glover opened up on his relationship with the Boston College coaching staff, saying he has been in contact with running backs coach Savon Huggins since earning his offer.

"My main point of contact has been coach [Savon] Huggins. We've had contact for a while and it was good to finally get up there and see him and the rest of the staff," he said.

Moving to what he witnessed at spring practice, Glover highlighted the organization and structure of the day, saying, "Practice was very organized and everyone was on the same page about what they wanted to accomplish for each period."

He continued further, "I did see [running backs] individual period. I liked the drills they were running and how involved they were in the offense."

Glover said he expects to return for more spring practices and he also has visits lined up with other schools throughout the summer as well. As of now, Boston College has one of the top ranked recruiting classes in the nation, but does not hold a commitment from a running back.

Adding the likes of Glover would continue to solidify what is already a strong class for O'Brien and his staff in his second season.
