- Boston College loses major offensive weapon for entire 2026 season
Boston College is looking to get back on track after a 2-10 finish last season, and it will have to do so without one of its best offensive players.
During ACC media days, coach Bill O'Brien told ESPN's Pete Thamel that sophomore tight end Kaelan Chudzinski will miss the entire 2026 season with an Achilles injury. O'Brien said Chudzinski will be back in January and joked, If you asked him, he'd tell you he's not out for the season."

Chudzinski was one of the better tight ends in the ACC last year as a true freshman. Playing in 12 games, he caught 24 passes for 313 yards and four touchdowns, earning Freshman All-American honors from several publications as a result.
Where does Kaelan Chudzinski's loss leave Boston College's offense?
Losing Chudzinski is a major blow for the Eagles. With its top-three receivers moving on, he was the most proven weapon in the passing game for a Boston College team that also has a new quarterback.
The passing offense was decently productive last year despite a revolving door at signal-caller, but now, the Eagles turn to Division II transfer Mason McKenzie. Chudzinski would have been a nice safety blanket, but BC will now have to look for receiving production elsewhere.
