WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN 2025
» Dylan Lonergan will make his first career start at quarterback after transferring to Boston College from Alabama in January. Lonergan was officially named the team’s starting quarterback on August 12.
» Lewis Bond enters 2025 needing 75 catches to break Zay Flow-
ers’ record as the all-time leader in career receptions. Bond re-
corded 67 a season ago, which ranked sixth-all time in BC single season history.
» The defense recorded 17 takeaways a season ago, ranking tied
atop the conference lead in the ACC. 17 takeaways were the most
by a Boston College defense since 2018, when the team notched 20
takeaways, which was good for best in the conference that season.
» The Eagles return three of their top five tacklers from a season
ago in KP Price, Daveon Crouch and Carter Davis.
