Overview
- Will Wood announced on X on Sunday that he was reversing his spring pledge to Penn State and signing with Boston College instead.
- Wood said he will stay close to home to play for Bill O’Brien and thanked Penn State for their support in his announcement.
- The switch increases Boston College’s 2027 recruiting class to 29 commitments and removes the lone quarterback commit from Penn State’s 2027 group.
- Scouts and outlets differ on Wood’s evaluation, with reports calling him a three- or four-star recruit while the 247Sports composite ranks him No. 505 nationally and No. 30 among quarterbacks.
- The move comes as Penn State adjusts to Matt Campbell’s early tenure and recent on-field losses, creating an immediate need for the program to reassert itself in the quarterback market before signing day or look to the transfer portal.
