Hamp Cheevers arrived at Boston College as an unheralded, two star recruit out of Trenton, Florida. He didn’t see much of the field in his freshman year, beyond a few special teams appearances, but showed flashes of his playmaking abilities as a sophomore. The BC defense featured exceptional talent at cornerback in 2017--starters Isaac Yiadom and Kamrin Moore both went on to the NFL--so Cheevers didn’t see a ton of action, but he managed to come up with two interceptions and a forced fumble in five games played.
2018 was a breakout season for Cheevers.
