Boston College running back Josh Haden and quarterback Justin Tuggle are transferring, according to a release issued by the school today.
"Both young men have expressed a desire to pursue their educational and football careers elsewhere," said head coach Frank Spaziani in a statement. "Each has contributed to our football program and we wish them well."
The Haden transfer is particularly surprising. Haden, a true sophomore, was a highly touted recruit out of Ft. Washington, Md. His brother Joe is a standout cornerback at Florida. Though Montel Harris had surpassed him on the depth chart, Haden was still getting regular playing time. He had 58 carries for 213 yards and one TD in his short BC career.
He missed Saturday's game at Notre Dame with an injury.
After starting quarterback Dave Shinskie suffered a cracked rib in training camp, Tuggle started the first three games of the season. Upon Shinskie's return, however, Tuggle has not seen any action. With a couple of more quarterbacks coming into the program next year, Tuggle's chances of regaining the starting job would have likely become slimmer.
