CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College head football coach Jeff Hafley announced that redshirt freshman quarterback Phil Jurkovec (pronounced jur-KO-vik) has joined the football program as a mid-year transfer. The Pittsburgh, Pa., native comes to the Heights after two seasons at Notre Dame.
Jurkovec will apply to the NCAA for a waiver to become immediately eligible with the Eagles this fall. If the waiver is not approved, Jurkovec would have to sit out the 2020 season per NCAA transfer regulations.
In six games for the Fighting Irish in 2019, Jurkovec was 12-of-16 passing for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
