Boston College Lands Boyle

Middletown (Conn.) Xavier quarterback Tim Boyle committed to Boston College on Wednesday, choosing the Eagles over offers from Connecticut, Florida, Houston, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Massachusetts.

"The academics are great," Boyle said. "My whole family lives in Boston. The campus is amazing. The coaches are great. The offense fits me real well. Overall it was the best for me."

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Boyle is the fifth commit for Boston College in the class of 2013 and the second quarterback, joining Mackay Lowrie.

As junior, Boyle threw for 850 yards and 15 touchdowns in six games.
