Junior talent Evan Spencer (Vernon Hills, Ill.) recently picked up scholarship offers from Notre Dame and Ohio State, ESPN affiliate Web site IrishSportsDaily.com reports.

Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska have also offered the 6-foot, 178-pound prospect with Buckeye ties. Both his parents went to Ohio State and his father Tim played in the Horseshoe.

"I don't have any leader," Spencer stated. "When I was five and younger, I always dreamed of playing there (at Ohio State). Now I'm extremely open minded. I'm not going to put them over anyone else because my dad went there and my parents went there. I'm not the type of person where they offer me and I'm committing right now. I'm definitely going to wait and look at all my options."

"The BC coaches also expressed a lot of interest in me and I feel like this program, is a place where I can succeed. Their coaching styles are very similar to those at Brockton High School. This makes me feel at home."

"Boston College is also a place where I will be offered a great education and a great opportunity to work in the future. When I visited the campus in the sun, I was amazed by the size and the social life. It was a no brainer committing to Boston College, I made no hesitation when i committed."
