GRAYSON JAMES NEWS

Season-high yards in loss James was 26-for-41 passing for 301 yards during Saturday's 20-15 defeat to Nebraska. He also had nine rushes for 22 yards.

Impact Despite failing to throw a touchdown, James lit up the Nebraska secondary, eclipsing 300 yards through the air for the first time this season. The junior quarterback was thrust into the spotlight following the injury to previous starter Thomas Castellanos, but James has performed well in his time as the top guy, throwing for 1,034 yards and five touchdowns to a single interception since taking over the starting gig. With Castellanos transferring to Florida State, it appears as if James has put himself in position to snag the starting job from the get-go in 2025.

FIU transfer QB Grayson James commits to Boston College Eagles land a quarterback to add depth to their room.

JANUARY 18, 2024 • 247SPORTS.COM

Commits to Boston College James announced his commitment to Boston College on Thursday.

Despite finishing 2023 with an output so minimal he qualifies for a redshirt, the ex-FIU QB logged more than 2,000 scrimmage yards and almost 15 touchdowns during his 2022 season. James has the experience; the question is if that becomes enough to overtake Castellanos.

Gets back in action James went 12-for-20 for 200 yards and a touchdown against JSU on Wednesday. He also ran for a score.

Impact James was the starter when the season began, but after looking pretty brutal he ceded the job to freshman Keyone Jenkins. Jenkins has had his moments, but he's struggled recently, including in his brief appearance in this game. Bowl eligibility is theoretically possible for the Panthers, who need two wins in their final three games. Could they turn to the veteran under center to try and make that happen?
