Spartans target, 3-star DL Gavin Neil commits to Boston College

A Michigan State defensive lineman target in the 2026 class has committed to a program the Spartans will lineup against this upcoming season.

Gavin Neil of Chicago Heights, Ill. announced his commitment to Boston College on Sunday. The commitment — which he announced via a post on social media platform X — to the Eagles from Neil comes after he took an official visit to Boston College this past weekend.

Neil is a three-star defensive lineman in the 2026 class, and holds a recruiting rating of 86 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 140 defensive lineman and No. 34 player from Illinois in the class.

Michigan State was Neil’s only other power four offer at this point in the recruitment, and the Spartans were the previous favorite to land his commitment. Boston College, though, entered the mix this past week with an offer and a quick official visit to get him on their recruiting board. Neil was supposed to visit Michigan State next week but it is assumed that he will not be making that visit now.
