If they add another

If Boston College adds a player at another position what hole would they be looking to fill? We've got the answer.
Niang could be near the top of BC's wish list moving forward.
Sources close to the program are indicating that if BC takes another scholarship player from the Class of 2015 then it would likely be either an offensive lineman, a defensive back or an H-Back/tight end-type.
Earlier this summer BC hosted four-star California offensive lineman Michael Alves on an unofficial visit. But recently when Alves released a list of favorites the Eagles were not on it. We can't identify any one player that the Eagles seem to have their sights set on for sure as "the guy" they would like to add.
However, Lucas Niang of Connecticut is a big, prototype tackle that we're hearing would be at or near the top of the list right now.
In the secondary, similarly, there is not any one player. We reported on another Connecticut prospect this week in Tyler Coyle. He could be one to watch depending on how future scores and grades look. He's a very good athlete with more than the requisite size in the secondary and in terms of raw ability he's as good as any of the players BC is looking at as a defensive back.
At H-Back/tight end we aren't sure of the pool of potential targets and it's worth noting that Ray Marten is already filling that spot. Initially we were under the impression that Marten could be a defensive end as well, but it looks like he will indeed be an H-Back when he arrives at Boston College.
It's not as clear which exact position on offense Scooter Harrington will fill.
