Will Wood commits to Boston College from Penn State

Four-star quarterback Will Wood has decommitted from Penn State to join Boston College as part of the 2027 recruiting class. Wood, a product of Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, Massachusetts, cited a desire to stay close to home as a primary factor in his decision to play for Coach Bill O’Brien and the Eagles.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Wood is a highly-rated prospect, ranked as the No. 3 player in Massachusetts and the No. 30 quarterback in the nation. During his junior season, he recorded 42 touchdowns and only one interception.

His departure leaves Penn State without a committed quarterback for the 2027 class. While the Nittany Lions retain four-star 2028 quarterback James Armstrong, the loss of Wood follows a period of difficulty for the program on the field.
