Report: Boston College to start Castellanos vs. Virginia

Boston College will start quarterback Thomas Castellanos Saturday against Virginia after he missed last week's game due to an undisclosed injury, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The 5-foot-9, 196-pound passer was hurt during a 23-19 win over Michigan State.

The Eagles improved to 4-1 following a 21-20 win over Western Kentucky a week ago. Grayson James completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 168 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for another score.

Castellanos returned to practice this week. The junior signal-caller has thrown for 729 yards, 10 touchdowns, and two interceptions, and he currently boasts a career-best 64.3% completion rate through four games.

After tallying 1,113 rushing yards and 13 scores last season, Castellanos has recorded 112 and one touchdown in 2024.
