On Tuesday night, Boston College announced that C Jayden Hastings would return for his sophomore redshirt season.
Hastings, a high three-star prospect out of IMG Academy in Florida, originally committed to the Eagles in the 2023 class. After redshirting last season, he stepped into the rotation this past year in the backup center role. He averaged 4.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 15 minutes per game. He features explosive, raw athleticism and showed flashes of excellent rim protection this past season. His offensive game is a work in progress, but as his footwork improves he could become a capable back-to-the-basket option for Grant’s offense.
