Bad news for the Boston College football team heading into the 2022 season.

Christian Mahogany, an offensive guard who is a top NFL Draft prospect, told ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Thursday that he tore his ACL last month and expects to miss the entire 2022 campaign.

According to Thamel, Mahogany suffered the ACL injury in his right knee while working out at home in New Jersey.

Mahogany, a 6-foot-3, 335-pound redshirt junior, was a popular preseason All-ACC pick and was ranked by ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. as the No. 2 offensive guard prospect for next year’s draft.

Mahogany told Thamel that he is planning to come back to Boston College for the 2023 season.

As Thamel noted, Boston College will have five new full-time starters on the offensive line to start the season now that the Eagles will be without Mahogany, a second-team All-ACC selection last season.
