Grayson James News, Rumors, Updates - Boston College Eagles

Solid outing in win James completed 16 of 24 passes for 288 yards during Saturday's 34-12 win over Syracuse.

Impact James' 288 passing yards were a season high, and it came as the Eagles got a cathartic win over Syracuse to at least close what's been a miserable season on a high note. The gunslinger had his most efficient start of the season, completing 66.7 percent of his passes on 12.0 yards per attempt. James had an up-and-down senior season with the Eagles, finishing with 1,196 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions.

Will remain starter for BC James is set to remain Boston College's starter despite recent struggles, per Kevin J. Stone of On3.com.

Impact James has struggled for the dismal Eagles this season since replacing Dylan Lonergan as the starter. He's thrown four interceptions over his last two games, while the Boston College offense produced just 10 points against Notre Dame. Still, James will remain the starting signal-caller for the Eagles, putting to bed any notion that Lonergan may re-assume the starting role or that Shaker Reisig may see time.

Another two picks in loss James was 25-for-37 passing for 240 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 25-10 loss against Notre Dame. He also had 13 rushes for -21 yards.

Impact James improved on his efficiency against the Irish, completing 68 percent of his passes after completing just over 50 the week prior. Still, he threw two interceptions for the second straight week, which proved to be back-breaking in a loss to the Irish that was much more narrow than many anticipated. With three games left to play, James will look to help the 1-8 Eagles close out strong.

Not starting Saturday James will not start Saturday's game versus Notre Dame, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact James started the last pair of contests for the Eagles and performed reasonably well in the role, throwing for 448 yards and five touchdowns while also tossing a pair of picks and adding 52 rushing yards. It appears BC will turn back to Dylan Lonergan on Saturday, though that may just be a temporary change due to the injury.

Not certain to start vs. Irish James (undisclosed) isn't a lock to start against Notre Dame in Week 10, per Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe.

Impact James has started the last two games for the Eagles in relief of Dylan Lonergan, who opened the year as Boston College's starter but has since been benched. After an iffy day against Louisville that saw James toss for 244 yards and three scores but also two interceptions and just 50 percent completion, the quarterback competition appears to be back on for the Eagles. It's unclear who has the inside track to start Saturday against the Irish at this point.

Three TDs not enough vs. Louisville James completed 23 of 46 passes for 244 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-24 defeat to Louisville. He also had 13 rushes for 26 yards.

Impact James tossed for 244 yards and three scores, but wasn't all that efficient in the process, completing just half of his passes and averaging 5.3 yards per attempt. The Eagles hung tough with Louisville, but ultimately dropped their seventh straight game. James will look to clean up the interceptions and increase his efficiency in Week 10 in a tough matchup with Notre Dame.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Two touchdowns in first start James was 16-for-28 passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-23 defeat against Connecticut. He also had 17 rushes for 26 yards.

Impact James replaced Dylan Lonergan as the Eagles' starter ahead of Week 8 against UConn, and while he threw for two touchdowns and didn't turn the ball over, it wasn't enough to prevent Boston College from falling at the hands of a much smaller program. The redshirt senior James figures to remain the starter for the time being, and after completing just 57 percent of his passes against the Huskies, he'll look to bounce back with a more efficient outing in Week 9 against Louisville.

Named starter for Saturday James will start Saturday's game versus UConn, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact James has been named the starting quarterback for Saturday's contest, overtaking Dylan Lonergan. James has made two brief appearances this season, an excellent showing in Week 1 versus Fordham and then a very rough performance in Week 6 at Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses pick in relief James completed 2 of 9 passes for 30 yards and one interception during Saturday's 48-7 loss versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Boston College used all three of its quarterbacks against Pitt, largely to no avail as it was still demolished by the Panthers. James had a rough go of it, turning the ball over, and was no more effective than the benched starter Lonergan. The best Eagles' quarterback Saturday was actually Shaker Reisig, the true freshman third-stringer. Don't expect to see James in any meaningful capacity anytime soon barring an injury to Lonergan.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses TF in relief James completed 5 of 5 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 66-10 victory against Fordham.

Impact James was perfect in his relief of Dylan Lonegran, who tossed for four touchdowns as Boston College routed Fordham. He amassed nearly 200 yards through the air on just five attempts. James has plenty of experience in the past for both Boston College and FIU, so it's unsurprising that he was great coming off the bench. As a backup this season and insurance policy for Lonegran, James should be a very strong option for Boston College.

Loses starting position James has lost the Eagles' starting position going into their game against Fordham on Aug. 30, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact James and Dylan Lonergan, an Alabama transfer, competed to be Boston College's quarterback. Despite the former's previous experience under center, it is the latter who will start Week 1. During 2024, James logged 1,202 passing yards and almost 10 touchdowns, which he may surpass only if Lonergan either becomes unavailable or struggles sometime down the stretch.

Florida State QB Tommy Castellanos 'Doesn't See' Alabama Stopping Him

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.
