Boston College Makes Top 5 For '22 DB Akim Sledge
Boston College made the top five for '22 defensive back Akim Sledge out of Life Christian Academy (VA).
Sledge announced in the above video his top 5 of Boston College, Stanford, West Virginia, Maryland and Pittsburgh. The Virginia native is a three star recruit according to 247sports.com. Back in June when he received his offer from Jeff Hafley's staff he told BC Bulletin "it felt great honestly. I’ve heard that BC was a hard offer to get and it’s just showing that hard work pays off."
We spoke with Sledge shortly after he announced his top five. When asked why Boston College made the list he said "Boston College made it because I clicked with Coach ( Aazaar Abdul) Rahim off the bat and BC offers the academics and the field of study I’ve been looking. Plus, I know a couple of the ‘21 freshmen class."
