The Bears felt that Trapilo was smart, tough, dependable and consistent at Boston College, where he started all 34 games he played the past three seasons, lining up at left tackle in 2022 and right tackle in 2023-24. They also believe that the 6-8, 316-pounder is technically sound and is “a big man who moves well.”
Doyle was further impressed by Trapilo, a first-team All-ACC selection last year, during the lineman’s formal interview with the Bears at the NFL Combine.
“He’s really a high-level kid with high-level character,” Doyle said. “I feel really good about him maximizing all of his ability in the NFL. He’s a total pro. He’s a talented player, but he’s a better person.”
In entering the NFL, Trapilo continues to follow in the footsteps of his dad, Steve Trapilo, who passed away due to a heart attack in 2004 when Ozzy was two years old. Like his father, Ozzy played football at Boston College High School and Boston College. Coincidentally, Doyle’s father also went to Boston College High.
The Bears offensive coordinator describes Trapilo as “a happy dude who loves football and gets excited when he talks about it.”
“I think he’s going to do exactly what we ask of him, and that’s the biggest thing,” Doyle said. “When I say he’s a pro’s pro, he listens, he’s ‘yes sir’ or ‘no sir,’ so I think that relationship’s going to be really good with [Bears coaches].”
