Boston College’s trip to Dallas comes with a fresh look on the depth chart.
The Eagles will face No. 21 SMU on Saturday sitting at 2-2 overall and 0-1 in ACC play after a 21-14 loss to Virginia Tech. SMU enters at 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the conference after a 34-24 win over Missouri State last weekend.
The biggest wrinkle on the offensive side is Jaedn Skeete moving back into the starting lineup at wide receiver. He had been listed second at the position in the last two games, but he’s back at the top after his best outing of the season against Virginia Tech, when he caught two passes for more than 30 yards.
There are also plenty of new “OR” tags on the chart, especially along the offensive line and in the secondary, a sign that Bill O’Brien’s comments about possible changes showed up in the official listing. The depth chart also still does not include Bodie Kahoun, who remains out after the injury he suffered against Rutgers.
One notable name that does appear is Micah Amedee, who left Saturday’s game with an injury but is listed on the depth chart.
Here is how Boston College is lined up for Saturday, with all “OR” designations kept as listed on the official chart:
On offense, the left tackle spot shows Trevon Humphrey or Veguer “JuJu” Jean-Jumeau, with Pape Abdoulaye Sy also listed there. Left guard is Robert Smith IV with Owen Snively behind him.
At center, DJ Williams is listed ahead of Amir Johnson. Right guard has Judah Pruitt or Owen Snively, and right tackle lists Kristian Phillips or Reggie Jackson.
At quarterback, Mason McKenzie is first, followed by Grayson Wilson and Femi Babalola. The running back group is Evan Dickens, Bo MacCormack III, Nolan Ray, and Mekhi Dodd.
At tight end, Zeke Moore is first, with Brady Clough or Danny Edgehille next, and Bryce Lewis also listed. The receiving corps includes Johnathan Montague Jr., Landon Wright or Reed Swanson, Javarius Green, Jackson Wade, Jaedn Skeete, Dawson Pough, and Nedrick Boldin Jr.
Defensively, Kris Jones or E’Lla Boykin opens at defensive end, with Israel Oladipupo also listed. Cameron McGee, KJ Sampson, Josiah Griffin, and Gavin Neil are at defensive tackle, while Micah Amedee, Christian Hudson, and Chuck Nnaeto are listed at the other tackle spot. Demetrius Ballard, Onye Nwosisi, Favor Bate, and Demeterius Thompson are at defensive end.
At linebacker, Anthony Palano and Justin Medlock are listed, with Zacari Thomas or Kemori Dixon and Griffin Collins also on the chart. The nickel spot features KP Price, Charlie Comella, and Cameron Martinez. At cornerback, Max Tucker is joined by Ashton Cunningham or Syair Torrence, while Charlie Comella and Michael Mankaka are listed at the other corner.
Marcus Upton and TJ Green are at safety, and the other safety spot lists Carter Davis or Da’Jon Green, with Kameron Howard also there.
The specialist group has Cooper Crook and John Owens at long snapper, Bryce LaFollette and Andy Quinn at punter, Luca Lombardo and Jonathan Hewitt at kicker, and LaFollette as holder. Cameron Martinez or Charlie Comella is listed as punt returner, along with Javarius Green, while T.J. Green, Bo MacCormack III, and Johnathan Montague Jr. are listed as kick returners.

Boston College Faces A Brutal Test After That Virginia Tech Collapse
SMU and Boston College are heading into a familiar sort of ACC clash in Dallas, where the programs will meet for the fourth time in their recent series and the Mustangs carry a 3-1 edge. For Boston College, it is another chance to steady itself after the Virginia Tech collapse, with the Eagles trying to put the focus back on execution and the adjustments that coaches have been talking through all week. SMU, meanwhile, brings one of the leagues most productive offenses into the matchup, with quarterback Kevin Jennings giving the home side a steady edge in the league-wide conversation.
Boston College has enough of its own offensive firepower to make this interesting, and Mason McKenzie remains a key part of that picture after ranking sixth in the ACC. The bigger question is whether the Eagles can clean up the things that have been hurting them in recent weeks and match SMUs tempo without letting the game get away from them early. Both staffs have already spent time discussing recent performances and what needs to change, which makes this one feel less like a simple rematch and more like a test of which team can actually absorb the lessons from last week.

Boston College Enters A Defining Hockey Season Without A Full Reset
Boston College is heading into the 2026-27 mens hockey season in a familiar place for a top program, but with a very different look. A wave of departures to professional hockey has opened up major holes, and coach Greg Brown is leaning less on the idea of a reset than on development and continuity as the Eagles try to keep their standard intact. The roster is being reshaped, but the expectation around Chestnut Hill remains the same: compete at the highest level while new pieces settle in and existing players take on larger jobs.
Browns message suggests the season will be judged as much by how quickly the group forms an identity as by the win total alone. Boston College finished last year with 20 victories, yet the larger lesson was that consistency and finishing sharp still needed work, especially in a league where the margin for error is thin. With so much change in the lineup, the Eagles are hoping the next step is not a rebuild but a refinement, even if the path there will look a lot different. [Read more 🡒]
Boston College Faces Two Huge Obstacles To Pull Off The Upset
Boston College heads into a road test at No. 21 SMU knowing the matchup brings a clear challenge on both sides of the ball. The Eagles have spent the week trying to find ways to bother senior quarterback Kevin Jennings, whose arm drives a passing game that can punish any lapse in coverage, while also looking for more consistency from an offense still trying to build under coordinator Bill O'Brien.
For BC, the margin for error looks thin because the passing game has already been slowed by injuries and uneven production, leaving the Eagles searching for longer drives and more reliable rhythm. The task is made even more difficult by the need to keep pace with an SMU team that can force a game into a shootout, which is why Boston College's ability to pressure Jennings and get its own offense moving will shape whether this one stays interesting deep into the afternoon.
