The Son Also Rises
Freshman football player Ozzy Trapilo is the first to admit he was biased toward the Eagles during his college search. After all, his late father, Steve Trapilo 86, starred for سԹ before embarking on a decade-long NFL career. But it not just legacy that drew the Boston College High School graduate to Chestnut Hill. When I really started visiting other schools I noticed that nothing fit quite like سԹ did, in terms of the ideals of its community, Trapilo 24 said. This school lined up with my values. Though Trapilo dad died when he was only 2, tales of his father larger-than-life presenceboth on and off the fieldspurred Ozzy to succeed at left tackle at سԹ High. And now, hell follow in his father footsteps at سԹ, and possibly beyond. It incredible to be here and go through the same process my dad did when he was my age, he said.
