08/11/21 - QB Phil Jurkovec, rSr/2024, Pittsburgh

Boston College quarterback Phil Jurkovec has moved on to the advanced courses in his football development. Jurkovec began the process of expanding offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti's detailed playbook for the 2021 season when the Eagles opened training camp on Friday morning inside the Fish Field House. BC, which was picked to finish in third place in the Atlantic Division in the ACC preseason poll, opens the campaign at Alumni Stadium on Sept. 4 against Colgate. "We have everything in and everybody is feeling really comfortable about that," said Jurkovec following the two-hour practice in gold helmets and maroon shorts. "We can add or adjust and I'm sure we will put in a lot of new stuff and make changes throughout the season. Talking to the receivers and all the guys on offense, we feel comfortable with it because we have gone through it a lot right now. And, our spring was big for getting back to fundamentals."

The redshirt junior transfer from Notre Dame enjoyed a stellar debut season in the ACC on a team that exceeded all expectations in the age of COVID. Under first-year coach Jeff Hafley, BC went 6-5 with five league wins. BC played 11 games without a bye week and elected not to participate in a bowl game. Jurkovec started 10 games and threw for 2,558 yards, the most by any BC quarterback over his first 10 games in program history. Jurkovec also became the first BC quarterback to toss for more than 300 yards in four of his first five starts. - Boston Herald
