Wednesday afternoon, Mekhi Volcy, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound wide receiver and defensive end at Bedford High School in Bedford, Mass., announced his commitment to the Boston College football program on his personal Instagram account.
Volcy is the 20th recruit of Bill O’Brien’s class of 2026 and the sixth player in the class to stay in-state.
“First off I would like to start by thanking god for everything and every opportunity he has given me up until this point,” Volcy said. “Secondly I would like to thank my teammates and coaches for pushing me and motivating me to be the best version of myself possible and keeping me on track to accomplish my goals.”
“With that being said, I am BLESSED to announce my commitment to play Division 1 football at Boston College.”
Volcy backs up his long frame with impressive speed. According to his Hudl profile, Volcy runs a 4.54 40-yard dash, a 4.56 second shuttle and an 11.3 second 100-meter dash. His weight-room numbers stand out as well, as Volcy can bench 15 reps of 185 lbs., squats a maximum of 415, deadlifts 515 lbs. and cleans 255 lbs.
Injured for five games during his junior year at Bedford, Volcy racked up 19 receptions for 227 receiving yards while making 14 tackles, garnering two sacks, two tackles for loss (TFL’s) and 11 assisted tackles. He also plays basketball for Bedford along with the Mass Elite AAU team during the summer.
Similar to how O’Brien built the Texans’ roster when he was coaching in the NFL—primarily through the draft and developing his players—the second-year head coach of the Eagles envisions the same kind of formula for BC.
He has harped on his priorities consisting of recruiting out of high school first and foremost and developing a culture through the younger players climbing up in the program’s ranks—as opposed to a culture developed through transfer additions.
Volcy, who doesn’t have a rating on 247Sports, is a perfect example of a player O’Brien sees as someone who understands the dynamic of building team culture, given his desire to play for his own local high school, and also happens to be a Mass. native.
With the addition of Volcy, which occurred two days after five-star kicker Jonathan Hewitt committed to the program, BC football’s recruit class of ‘26 is currently ranked No. 30 in the nation, according to 247.
