Phil Jurkovec wasn’t a free agent for long.

Three days after his name appeared in the NCAA transfer portal, the Pine-Richland graduate and former Notre Dame quarterback will enroll at Boston College, two sources confirmed.

Jurkovec committed to Boston College coach Jeff Hafley on his visit Saturday.

Jurkovec was one of the nation’s most coveted quarterbacks in the high school class of 2018. He had scholarship offers from Alabama, Penn State, Pitt, Ohio State and several others.

Jurkovec (6-foot-5, 227 pounds) just completed his redshirt freshman season at Notre Dame. He appeared in six games in mopup duty, completing 12 of 16 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 130 yards.

Jurkovec will seek a waiver from the NCAA so he will be eligible to play this season, according to 247sports.com. At Boston College, he will play for Hafley and offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr., who both served under former coach Dave Wannstedt at Pitt.
