SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on depth chart James (undisclosed) is off Boston College's depth chart for Saturday's game against Missouri.

Impact The junior quarterback is off the team's depth chart with Thomas Castellanos at the top of the QB position, with Jacobe Robinson and Johnathan Montague tailing. James was showing promise this week with some active practices, but he will likely now not see the field due to his injury.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice James (undisclosed) is back at practice for Boston College, A.J. Black of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuesday will include James' first practice since the quarterback suffered his undisclosed injury that prevented him from being available early-September. Though expected to continue sitting out indefinitely, he has at least a chance of logging game snaps this month.

Still 'a ways off' from returning James is "doing okay" but still "a ways off" from returning per head coach Bill O'Brien, Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact James has yet to play this season as he deals with an undisclosed injury. From O'Brien's comments, it sounds as if the signal caller still has a ways to go before he can return. Boston College is currently set at quarterback with its dazzling dual-threat Thomas Castellanos, but if the Eagles needed to go deeper into their quarterback room, Jacobe Robinson would likely be the next man up.

DNP at Florida State James (undisclosed) did not play during the Eagles' 28-13 win Monday at Florida State.

Impact According to Curran Schestag of SB Nation, James was recently out for the Eagles' team practices because of minor nicks. They may be more than minor though, considering his chart exclusion suggests he will sit out against the reigning ACC champions.

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

JANUARY 18 • 247SPORTS.COM

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

Impact Now, James is expected to compete against Thomas Castellanos to be Boston College's primary quarterback during 2024. 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.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

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?

Impact Well, after coming off big in a win over NMSU, James struggled against UConn, traditionally one of the worst teams in the FBS. That doesn't bode well, and James' 5.7 yards per attempt is quite low.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Has huge game James went 13-for-19 for 175 yards and three touchdowns against NMSU on Saturday. He also rushed 18 times for 43 yards.

Impact This is the most alive the FIU offense has looked all season. However, NMSU is one of the worst teams in the FBS, and 13 completions for 175 yards isn't exactly exciting either.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Held to 85 yards passing James went 13-for-23 for 85 yards against WKU on Saturday. He also had four carries for 12 yards.

Impact Yes, it took James 23 passes to get to 85 yards through the air. He is the quarterback FIU considered its best option, which speaks to the bleakness of this situation. Haden Carlson got some time, but he did not impress either.
