Boston College EDGE commit Gavin Neil brings disruptive junior-year production and high-motor pass-rush upside
Gavin Neil is a three-star 2026 defensive lineman/EDGE who committed to Boston College and has backed it up with a productive senior push: 39 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, and 13 quarterback hurries in 2025, with forced fumbles and pass breakups showing he affects plays in multiple ways. Scouts and reports consistently point to his quickness, edge-bending ability, and basketball-earned explosion as differentiators, making him more than a sack-only rusher. He looks like a fit for a program that values active hands, effort, and developmental upside on the defensive front.[1][2][3][13]
