BOSTON — Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos will miss the Eagles’ game against Western Kentucky, the school said Friday, and will be replaced by Florida International transfer Grayson James.
Castellanos played without apparent hinderance in Boston College’s 23-19 victory over Michigan State on Saturday, hitting Lewis Bond for the game-winning touchdown pass with 88 seconds left. He missed part of Tuesday’s practice.
He threw for 2,248 yards and 15 touchdowns last season and was 45-of-70 for 729 yards and 10 scores this year while leading the Eagles to a season-opening upset over No. 10 Florida State that helped them make their first appearance in The Associated Press Top 25 since 2018.
James threw for 1,967 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore at Florida International in 2022 but played in only three games as a junior last season.
