He has yet to play his first game or attend his first class; in fact, he will debut with the football team a few days before he attends his first class. But make no mistake, Dillon Quinn’s presence has been duly noted at Boston College.
Oh, not among the starters, who will go about the business of the Eagles’ second scrimmage of training camp this evening. Quinn is still too raw for that, despite his 6-foot-8-inch, 295-pound frame as a defensive tackle.
Three months ago, Quinn was still finishing up at Trinity-Pawling prep school in upstate New York. He was still the big man - if not the biggest - on a very small campus where he showed enough potential to have a dozen schools interested.
BC won that battle, edging out Maryland, which looked like a fast closer until Quinn decided that the combination of tradition and opportunity made BC the best fit.
