Dylan Lonergan News, Rumors, Updates - Boston College Eagles

Competing for starting QB gig Lonergan (thumb) is competing for Rutgers' starting quarterback gig, per 247Sports.com.

Impact Lonergan is in a quarterback battle with AJ Surace, the incumbent returnee for Rutgers. Lonergan, meanwhile, transferred from Boston College after a two-year stint with Alabama. He flashed some potential last season with the Eagles, tossing for 2,025 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 67 percent of his passes. He battled a thumb injury towards the end of the season, but appears to be over that in the Scarlet Knights spring camp.

Commits to Rutgers Lonergan (thumb) has committed to Rutgers, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Considering how well Lonergan threw for Boston College, his impending transfer to a Power Conference college is unsurprising. During 2025, he completed more than two-thirds of 284 pass attempts for 2,025 yards and a 12-5 TD-INT ratio. Lonergan's focus shifts to spring practice, for which he is questionable because of a thumb injury suffered during Week 14.

Entering transfer portal Lonergan plans to enter the transfer portal, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lonergan, who started 10 games for the Eagles this season, is set to look for a new program this offseason. He won the starting job after spending the first two years of his career with Alabama. He completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 2,025 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions across his 10 appearances. It's worth noting that he exited the final game of the season due to a thumb injury, but that should be in the rearview mirror in time for spring practice.

Doesn't return Saturday Lonergan (thumb) was 2-for-2 passing for eight yards before exiting Saturday's 34-12 win against Syracuse.

Impact Lonergan's day ended shortly after it began, as he sustained a thumb injury on his throwing hand. Per Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe, head coach Bill O'Brien said Lonergan tried to return, but he couldn't grip the ball well enough to throw. With BC not bowl eligible Lonergan's 2025 season is over. He finishes with 2,017 yards and a 12:5 TD:INT while completing 66.7 percent of his passes.

Nearly topples Georgia Tech Lonergan was 26-for-40 passing for 362 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 36-34 defeat against Georgia Tech.

Impact Lonergan had a very strong performance in what's been a roller coaster of a season. After getting his first start since Week 7 last week, and logging an okay performance in the loss to SMU, he played much better as the Eagles nearly toppled Georgia Tech. His 362 passing yards were his second-highest on the season, and he also protected the ball with zero interceptions for the first time since Week 7. He'll look to keep it up in the final game of the season against Syracuse following a Week 13 bye.

Impact Lonergan got his first start since Week 7, and while his stats don't look awful, the quarterback was unable to get the Eagles' offense operating in any sort of consistent capacity. Boston College's offense has been dreadful no matter who's running the show at quarterback.

Starting Saturday Lonergan will start Saturday's game versus Notre Dame, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lonergan, who did not start the last two games, will return to the starting lineup Saturday as Grayson James is dealing with a minor injury. Lonergan completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,394 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions in his six starts.

May be QB1 in Week 10 Lonergan may be Boston College's starting quarterback Saturday against Notre Dame, Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Even though Boston College's last game saw Grayson James starting over Lonergan, the two will compete again for BC's QB1 position going into Week 10. This presents a second opportunity for Lonergan, who has not logged any passing touchdowns since Week 5 and zero overall TDs since Week 4.

Moves to bench Saturday Lonergan will serve as the backup for Boston College on Saturday with Grayson James taking over as the starter against Connecticut, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact BC is making a change after Lonergan had started to struggle in recent weeks. Lonergan hadn't thrown a touchdown or reached the 200-yard mark in any of his last three games entering Saturday. As such, Boston College will turn to Grayson James to captain the offense Saturday against UConn.

Ineffective once again Lonergan was 12-for-19 passing for 117 yards during Saturday's 41-10 loss to Clemson. He also had five rushes for -16 yards.

Impact Lonergan at least played marginally better than he did in Week 6 against Pitt, but that's not saying much and it once again wasn't good enough to prevent him from getting benched for true freshman Shaker Reisig for the second straight week. After an electric start to the season that saw him throw for 658 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions through the Eagles' first two games, that's proving to be a flash in the pan and now, there may be a serious quarterback dilemma at Boston College.

Struggles in blowout loss Lonergan completed 9 of 18 passes for 89 yards during Saturday's 48-7 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Lonergan completed just half of his passes and couldn't hit the 100-yard mark in Boston College's complete annihilation at the hands of Pittsburgh. Lonergan started the season strong, with eight touchdowns, no interceptions and 658 yards through the first two games. However, he struggled last week, throwing two interceptions against California, and those struggles carried over into Week 6. Lonergan was eventually replaced by Shaker Reisig at quarterback.

Two picks in loss to Cal Lonergan completed 21 of 37 passes for 197 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 28-24 defeat against California. He also had four rushes for three yards with one touchdown...

Impact Lonergan had his worst game of the young 2025 season against California. He tossed his second and third interceptions while completing just 58 percent of his passes. Meanwhile, his 197 passing yards were easily his lowest total this fall. He did score his first rushing touchdown of the year to salvage his performance in the slightest, but the Eagles' gunslinger will look to flush this game and bounce back in Week 6 at Pittsburgh.
