BC Rowing Signs Six to NLI in Class of 2023

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Boston College head rowing coach Steve Fiske officially announced the signing of six student-athletes to National Letters of Intent on Thursday. The Eagles picked up three rowers from Massachusetts, while reaching into Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Florida to round out the class of 2023.

"This is a strong and experienced class and we are confident they will have an immediate impact on both the speed and the culture of the program," stated Fiske. "They are all great athletes and, more importantly, great people. We cannot wait to have this group join us and continue to elevate the program."
