Boston College junior quarterback Thomas Castellanos has likely ended his time there a few games early. Coach Bill O’Brien turned to former Florida International transfer quarterback Grayson James, who started there in 2022. Castellanos was benched against Syracuse.

Castellanos has gone 99-of-161 passing for 1,366 yards, 18 touchdowns and five interceptions, and has rushed 93 times for 194 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for 1,113 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, so that has radically changed with a new coach.

In the right system, Castellanos will have a good market in the transfer portal, which seems an inevitable move at this point.

The core package of Thomas Davis Jr., and his cousins Aidan Harris and Andrew Harris of Matthews (N.C.) Weddington had been discussed from the beginning of their recruitments. Davis has committed to Notre Dame, and I don't believe the Harris twins will be in the mix with the Fighting Irish, unless the move has radically changed things. Obviously, NC State wanted all three, and it has helped that Georgia didn't offer any of the UGA legacies.

Davis is interesting because you can see the talent, but after watching Weddington play in three games, the production hasn't quite been there.
