Chris comes from a strong family of football players, with his father playing for Boston University (yes they had a football team once), and his uncle played for the Eagles in the mid 80’s. Playing for Shepherd Hill in Massachusetts, Lindstrom pledged to BC quickly, committing in March of 2014. A 3* offensive guard, he only held offers from BC and Old Dominion, meaning a lot of good programs really missed out on easily the most dynamic guard in that current class.
Lindstrom entered BC in 2015, and with 3 games was the starting right guard after an injury to Harris Williams gave him that opportunity.
