FYI, several questions about Luke Farrell recently. Have not heard him mentioned often by sources.
McKeon on the march

Sean McKeon has emerged from relative obscurity to become the hottest prospect in Massachusetts.
McKeon has several recent offers to his credit.
Boston College had a hand in helping him to his newfound reputation. The Eagles recently offered the Shepherd Hill Regional tight end, and when BC offers an in-state prospect it's the kind of thing that makes noise. Other schools notice. Fans notice.
Syracuse, UConn and Temple have also offered McKeon recently. He thinks he knows why schools are starting to come through for him.
"I think it's how I'm progressing physically in the weight room," said McKeon, who is up to 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds. "That and they like my speed as I've put on more weight."
Boston College's coaching staff has made the reasons for the interest clear.
"Coach (Steve) Addazio said he likes all the upside I have as a player and all that I can become as I lift and grow more," he explained.
McKeon had been in contact with defensive coordinator for about three months prior to the Eagles' recent offer. Brown visited McKeon's school recently and later that day the state's No. 4 prospect spoke with Addazio. That's when he learned of the offer and that's when Addazio told McKeon why they like him as a staff.
BC is actually recruiting McKeon as a prospect that could play tight end or defensive end. McKeon said he likes playing on both sides of the ball.
He's visited BC multiple times so he has a pretty good feel for what the school has to offer.
"I went to one of their junior days about a month and a half ago," he explained. "And I went to I think two of their games last year. Then I went to two of their spring practices this year. I really like their campus and their football building itself. It's very nice and modern. It's a great education at BC."
The fact that Brown has built such a strong relationship with McKeon makes the offer even more meaningful, beyond the fact that it's an in-state school that he's been to in the past. They haven't just talked for a long span of time. They talk frequently.
Virginia, Maryland and Duke sent coaches by Shepherd Hill recently. They all invited McKeon to attend a camp this summer.
"I do plan to maybe do some of that. I've got to work out my schedule," McKeon explained. "I'm trying to make a decision by the end of June and maybe even sooner if I find the school I want to go to. I don't have any favorites now, though."
