Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 4/30/09
Committed Over: Duke, Michigan State, Rutgers, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia
Scouting Report: Betancourt is simply a nasty lineman. He is a high intensity player that gets good knee bend and plows the road in the running game, but can also drop his hips and anchor in pass protection. For a big guy, he does a nice job moving to the second level and sustaining blocks and can help backs pick up extra yardage. Never takes plays off and is a true team leader. Still has room to fill out in his huge frame. - Matt Alkire

Pos Rank: 17
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 11/8/09
Committed Over: East Carolina, Florida State, Purdue, Rutgers, Syracuse, UCF
Scouting Report: Darmstatter is more known for his exploits as a pass catching tight end than as a blocker. He is still a solid blocker at the point of attack, just not as devastating and consistent as Haplea and Barker. He is a force in the middle of the field; he will sit right in the hook/curl zone and plant himself there. He is definitely not afraid of contact. Bob Lichtenfels - Scout.com
Steele Divitto
OLB | 6-2 / 220
Don Bosco Prep (NJ)
Rating:
Scout300: 288
Pos Rank: 25
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 7/11/09
Committed Over: Akron, Colorado, Colorado State, East Carolina, Louisville, UCF
Scouting Report: Plays with his hand down a lot at the end position for his Don Bosco team, and he has a lightning quick first step and very quick hands to control a potential blocker. Shows excellent closing speed and athleticism to be able to drop into pass coverage from a down-lineman position. Adept at either rushing the passer or peeling off in coverage on a screen pass or closing on a ball carrier running outside - Scott Kennedy, Scout.com.
OG | 6-3 / 290
Brother Rice (IL)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 26
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 12/13/09
Committed Over: Ball State, Central Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Toledo
Scouting Report: Tough competitor with good power. Blocks to the whistle and finishes his man. Naturally strong and drives his man in the running game. Not necessarily a guy who can pull a ton, but is good in the box and offers a number of intangibles.

Alexis I. Dupont (DE)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 79
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 8/11/09
Committed Over: Duke, East Carolina, Louisville, North Carolina State, Rutgers, Temple
Scouting Report: Finds a way to gain position on receivers. On slant passes, he always makes sure to get on the inside shoulder. On deep balls, he’ll stay right up on his man and wait to make a play on the ball when it is at its highest point. He can play press coverage and is good in zone as well. Jones has very good straight line speed, however I’d like to see him improve how he closes on the ball. Also, while he has shown good hips, needs better transition.
OT | 6-7 / 270
Duxbury (MA)

Shakim Phillips
WR | 6-2 / 198
De Paul Catholic (NJ)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 49
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 9/14/09
Committed Over: Iowa, Maryland, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Tennessee
Scouting Report: Phillips has proven when he is healthy he is one of the best pass catchers in the country. He is a tremendous red zone weapon. He uses his body well to shield defenders from the ball. Plays physical and will block, just needs to show that he can stay healthy. He missed out on the combine circuit, but his film was so impressive that it didn’t really hurt his stock.Bob Lichtenfels - Scout.com
OLB | 6-1 / 205
King & Low-Heywood Thomas (CT)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 40
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 4/5/09
Committed Over: Duke, Stanford, Virginia
Chase Rettig
QB | 6-2.5 / 201
San Clemente (CA)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 45
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 7/13/09
Committed Over: Arizona, Arizona State, California, Notre Dame, UCLA, USC
Scouting Report: Rettig has one of the strongest arms of any quarterback in the West. Now that he'll be playing at a bigger program (San Clemente), he'll get a chance to compete at a higher level and use his good size and arm strength to his advantage against better competition. As strong as his arm is, he still needs to continue to work on his consistency and accuracy. -- Brandon Huffman, Scout.com
OG | 6-3 / 268
Silver Lake Reg (MA)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 166
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 1/11/10
S | 6-1 / 180
Louisville (OH)
Rating:
Pos Rank: 49
Committed to: BOSTON COLLEGE
Commit Date: 11/9/09
Committed Over: Michigan, Nebraska, Stanford
Scouting Report: A kick return man as well as defensive back and wide receiver. Shows burst after the catch as he’s able to get separation from defenders when on the offensive side of the ball. On defense he shows a good understanding of using his body to get position and reading what the offense is going to do. As a return specialist, he does a great job getting through traffic then being able to out run those in pursuit. Needs to add strength. - Dave Berk
