Boston College’s third player has been taken off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Center Drew Kendall was selected as the No. 168 overall pick (fifth round) by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday afternoon.
Kendall spent four seasons in Chestnut Hill. During his time on The Heights, he saw time in 39 games and earned the starting center job in 2022.
Last year, he started every game at center for the Eagles where he allowed just five pressures and earned a 83.1 pass block grade and 76.8 offensive grade from Pro Football Focus.
Boston College’s line paved the way for 4,754 total offensive yards and 51 offensive touchdowns.
As a prospect, he was a four-star from the class of 2021 and ranked No. 136 nationally, No. 9 in interior offensive linemen, and No. 1 in the state of Mass., according to 247Sports Composite.
Kendall is the third Boston College player to be selected in this year’s draft. He joins offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo, who was selected at No. 56 by the Chicago Bears, and defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku, who was taken at No. 44 by the Dallas Cowboys, both in the second round.
