Magnus Talma became the second Bishop Moore player this week to commit to an FBS program Thursday night when the speedy wide receiver pledged to Boston College.

The rising senior joined teammate Giacomo Sanfilippo, a linebacker, as the first three commitments from the Orlando area’s 2027 class. Lake Brantley defensive back Braylon Woodson committed to Navy a week ago,

Talma, a 6-foot, 175-pounder has track speed and is part of the Hornets state-championship contending 400-meter relay team. He picked Boston College over 12 other FBS scholarship offers. Talma was the Hornets’ second leading receiver on the Class 3A state semifinalist a year ago. He caught 37 passes for 818 yards and 7 touchdowns.

“It’s always been my goal to play high-level football and do it at a great academic school, as well,” Talma said. “B.C. was a perfect fit that way and what really made things clear for me was my regular talks with Coach O’Brien (head coach, Bill) and Coach Dailey (receivers coach, Joe).

“Both coaches made me feel like family way before I committed. They shared clear visions about where they saw me contributing on the field and things like that.”

He’s developed a great relationship with the two coaches.

“Coach O’Brien regular checks on me about my speed in track and how practice is going, how spring ball has been going, and Coach Dailey runs through plays with me that fit my skillset,” Talma said. “They like my speed, but they also see the way I am, my character, and they love how committed I am, how loyal I am and they like the conversations they had with me.”

Talma, who is the No. 13-ranked player in the Sentinel’s 2027 Central Florida Super60, is quite familiar with B.C. He grew up in Wellesley, Mass., which is one town over from where Boston College is in Chestnut Hill.

“It’s a beautiful campus,” Talma said, who moved with his family, and parents Christian and Nicole Talma, about four years ago. “I grew up going to the games. Even though I am a Floridian now, I have a lot of friends in Boston and a few at B.C., actually, which is really awesome.”
