Penn State loses Class of 2027 QB in flip to Boston College.
Penn State · Boston CollegeAs if things were not going in the wrong direction enough for Matt Campbell and Penn State, things just got a little worse this weekend. A day after seeing its losing streak reach four games following a loss to Michigan , Penn State has now seen one of its top recruits in the Class of 2027 flip his commitment.
A desire to stay close to home is said to have played an impact in Wood's decision to flip from Penn State to Boston College. "My belief in (coach) Bill O'Brien is extremely high," Wood said, according to Brian Dohn of 247Sports .
"The proximity to home was a big deal for me. It took me a while to be fully all in on it but I want to be part of the change of bringing back Boston College football.
I have a ton of respect for Penn State. I love that staff but Boston is my home."
