Grayson James, Boston College's junior quarterback, steps up to lead the Eagles offense in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl against Nebraska.
As Nebraska prepares for its matchup against Boston College in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl, the Huskers will be facing a different challenge under center than they would have a month ago. With former starter Thomas Castellanos entering the transfer portal in November, Boston College has turned to junior quarterback Grayson James to lead their offense. James, a transfer from FIU, has taken on a larger role for the Eagles after Castellanos’ departure.
While he doesn’t possess the dynamic rushing ability of Castellanos, James brings a steadier presence in the passing game. At 6-foot-3, James is more of a traditional pocket passer, relying on quick reads and efficient decision-making rather than scrambling to create plays. James had limited opportunities this season before November, but he made the most of his starts once he took over the job. He stepped in earlier this year against Western Kentucky when Castellanos was unavailable, leading Boston College to a narrow 21-20 comeback victory. James was calm under pressure, throwing a game-winning 8-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter and adding a critical 1-yard rushing score to spark the Eagles’ rally. He finished that game 19-of-32 for 168 yards, showing his ability to manage a close contest. James provided a spark off the bench in Boston College’s win over Syracuse. With the Eagles trailing, James replaced an inconsistent Castellanos in the third quarter and immediately steadied the offense. He went 5-of-6 for 51 yards and a touchdown, helping Boston College score on three straight possessions to complete the comeback. He started the last three games of the season and went 2-1 in those games, with the only loss coming to SMU. For Nebraska’s defense, James represents a different kind of test. While Castellanos was known for his ability to create chaos with his legs, James is more comfortable staying in the pocket and delivering accurate throw
