Dylan Lonergan Named Starting Quarterback at Boston College Ahead of 2025 Season
Boston College has officially announced that former Alabama quarterback Dylan Lonergan will take the reins as the starting quarterback for the 2025 season. Lonergan, who spent two seasons as a third-string quarterback at Alabama, made the decision to transfer to BC after recognizing the urgency for a starting position following the arrival of five-star recruit Keelon Russell and fellow transfer Austin Mack.
The talented Lonergan, who hails from Georgia and was a highly-rated four-star recruit in high school, has long been recognized for his powerful arm, showcased during limited appearances in mop-up duty at Alabama. His transition to Boston College is further buoyed by the reunion with his former offensive coordinator at Alabama, Bill O’Brien, who now serves as the head coach of the Eagles.
Lonergan’s move comes on the heels of former BC quarterback Thomas Castellanos transferring to Florida State, creating a significant opportunity for Lonergan to slot in as the starter for a team in need. The combination of familiar coaching and a clear path to the starting position has made this transition advantageous for both Lonergan and the Eagles.
Critics have speculated whether Lonergan might have had a chance to compete for the starting job with Alabama’s current quarterback, Ty Simpson, had he chosen to stay. However, reports indicate that Lonergan was keen to find a school where he could secure a starting role without the pressure of competing against top-tier talent.
With the 2025 season on the horizon, both Lonergan and Boston College look poised for a fresh start, setting the stage for what could be a defining chapter in his collegiate career.
