BC's Castellanos out for Western Kentucky matchup

Boston College's quarterback Thomas Castellanos will not participate in the upcoming game against Western Kentucky, as confirmed by the school on Friday. This decision comes after Castellanos missed part of Tuesday's practice, despite having played well in the previous game against Michigan State, where he led the team to a narrow victory with a last-minute touchdown pass. His performance this season has been notable, with 729 passing yards and 10 touchdowns, contributing to the Eagles' impressive start, including an upset win over No. 10 Florida State. In Castellanos' absence, Grayson James, a transfer from Florida International, will take over as the starting quarterback. James had a solid sophomore season at Florida International, throwing for 1,969 yards and 11 touchdowns, but his junior year was limited to just three games. This transition to a new starting quarterback could impact the team's dynamics and performance against Western Kentucky. The Eagles have been making headlines this season, especially with their recent ranking in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2018. The loss of Castellanos, who has been a key player in their success, raises questions about how well the team can adapt to this change. As the game approaches, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how Grayson James performs in this critical matchup, and whether the Eagles can maintain their momentum despite the setback of losing their starting quarterback.
