The portal has opened up, and Bill O’Brien has landed two new commitments on the defensive side while largely avoiding any major transfers out the door.
Linebacker Jason Hewlett is a sophomore coming in from Michigan. On the defensive line, Chris Marable Jr. arrives from ACC rival Wake Forest. The South Carolina native will be a redshirt-sophomore in the upcoming season.
Hewlett was four-star prospect coming out of Youngstown, Ohio. He has an offer from BC back in 2021/2 among many other programs. He had experience at multiple positions in high school and his strength and speed were major pluses in his recruitment.
