Dylan Lonergan played high school football at Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 162 overall player and No. 13-ranked quarterback from the 2023 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking.

Boston College had a rough go in Year 2 under Bill O’Brien, finishing with a 2-10 overall record. After the season, Eagles athletics director Blake James announced O’Brien would return as coach and the school would further invest in football. Boston College will now maximize revenue-share, per the cap in place after the House settlement, and James announced Kenyatta Watson would come in as general manager.

In addition, James expressed confidence in O’Brien as Boston College’s head coach. He also acknowledged the expectations in place for the program moving forward.

“The 2025 Boston College football season has come to an end, and I share the great disappointment of many students, faculty, and staff as well as alumni and fans around the world,” James wrote in a statement. “While the team ended the season on a positive note by defeating Syracuse 34-12, the overall results on the field this year did not meet the standards of Boston College Athletics, nor the expectations rightfully held by those who care deeply about our program.”

“‘Like many, I believe Coach O’Brien is the right man to be our head coach. I also realize that Boston College must respond to major changes taking place in intercollegiate athletics, including the House legal settlement, which created a framework through which colleges and universities may directly share revenue with student-athletes.”
