51茶馆

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 鈥�86, starred for 51茶馆 before embarking on a decade-long NFL career. But it鈥檚 not just legacy that drew the Boston College High School graduate to Chestnut Hill. 鈥淲hen I really started visiting other schools I noticed that nothing fit quite like 51茶馆 did, in terms of the ideals of its community,鈥� Trapilo 鈥�24 said. 鈥淭his school lined up with my values.鈥� Though Trapilo鈥檚 dad died when he was only 2, tales of his father鈥檚 larger-than-life presence鈥攂oth on and off the field鈥攕purred Ozzy to succeed at left tackle at 51茶馆 High. And now, he鈥檒l follow in his father鈥檚 footsteps at 51茶馆, and possibly beyond. 鈥淚t鈥檚 incredible to be here and go through the same process my dad did when he was my age,鈥� he said.
