Chudzinski Out for 2026 Season | Boston College Football News

Boston College football takes a major hit as star sophomore tight end Kaelan Chudzinski, a freshman All-American, is sidelined for the entire 2026 season after tearing his Achilles in spring practice. Head coach Bill O’Brien confirmed Chudzinski is rehabbing well and hopes for a January return, but realistically, he won’t play this year. With 313 yards and 4 touchdowns as a freshman, his absence leaves a huge void — the team has already moved a redshirt freshman from defense to tight end, while last year’s other tight ends combined for just 12 yards on 3 catches. The coaching staff now faces a daunting task to fill the gap, forcing Boston College to rethink their offense and rely on other players to step up big.
