Boston College tight end Kaelan Chudzinski is expected to miss the entire 2026 season due to an Achilles injury, as confirmed by coach Bill O'Brien. Chudzinski, who had a strong freshman year in 2025 with 24 receptions for 313 yards and four touchdowns, suffered the injury during spring practice and is projected to return in January 2027.
To address the tight end depth issue created by Chudzinski's absence, Boston College has moved second-year defensive end Bryce Lewis back to tight end. Lewis, originally recruited for that position, is considered a promising player at 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds. Boston College is undergoing a significant roster overhaul after a challenging 2025 season.
