Boston College Names Alabama Transfer Dylan Lonergan Starting Quarterback

Boston College has named Dylan Lonergan, a former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback, as their starting quarterback for the 2025 season, with his debut set for the opener against Fordham. Lonergan transferred to Boston College in the winter and will start over senior Grayson James, who started six games last season. Bill O'Brien, Boston College's head coach, is familiar with Lonergan as he recruited him while an assistant at Alabama. Lonergan played sparingly at Alabama, appearing in limited action with modest stats, and he originally hails from Brookwood High School in Georgia. The Eagles' early season schedule includes road games at Michigan State and Stanford, followed by a home game against California. Lonergan joins other former Alabama quarterbacks, such as Eli Holstein at Pitt, who have transferred to ACC programs following coaching changes at Alabama.
