Jaelen Gill will be on the field if Boston College plays football this fall.
The former Ohio State wide receiver, who transferred to Boston College in May, tweeted Tuesday that he has been granted immediate eligibility for the NCAA, allowing him to play this season rather than sit out for one year.
Blessed and thankful to be granted immediate eligibility. Lets get it.

Gill's father, Rod, thanked both Ohio State coach Ryan Day and former Ohio State assistant Jeff Hafley – now Boston College's head coach – with their efforts to make that happen.
