Boston College football continues its strategic push on the recruiting trail, extending a scholarship offer to a rising international prospect: offensive lineman Niko Kampas from the NFL Academy in the United Kingdom. The move highlights the Eagles’ growing interest in tapping into international talent pools and solidifying their offensive front for future seasons.
Kampas, a powerful and athletic lineman, has been steadily climbing recruiting boards thanks to his performances with the NFL Academy, a program based in London designed to identify and develop American football talent from across Europe. The academy, backed by the National Football League, provides student-athletes like Kampas with top-tier coaching, strength and conditioning training, and academic preparation to help them transition to college football in the United States. For Kampas, the exposure and development have paid off in the form of multiple Division I offers — with Boston College now officially joining the list.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing over 290 pounds, Kampas brings the size, raw strength, and footwork coaches at the FBS level covet. Though still relatively new to American football compared to most of his U.S.-based peers, Kampas has made significant strides technically and mentally. His film shows a player with a natural understanding of leverage, quick hands, and an aggressive streak at the point of attack. Whether playing tackle or interior line, he maintains a wide base, finishes blocks with authority, and shows the athletic ability to pull and block in space — traits that fit the physical identity Boston College
