Boston College DB Alex Washington has decided to move on after a short time with the Eagles.

Washington, a transfer from Harvard, has played in 3 games this season. In a Tuesday social media post, Washington announced that he is electing to redshirt and enter his name into the NCAA transfer portal and use his remaining season of eligibility in 2024.

“I would like to thank Coach Hafley and the Boston College family for giving me such a great opportunity to further my education and continue playing the game I love,” Washington wrote in a note. “Thank you to my teammates for embracing me on and off the field, I’ve built relationships with y’all that’ll span a lot longer than I could ever play on a football field. Thanks to all of the people behind the scenes at BC that have no idea the impact they’ve had on me in such a short amount of time.

“With that being said, I have decided to use my redshirt for this season and enter the transfer portal with 1 year of eligibility left. This decision hasn’t been an easy one but after lots of thought and prayer, I believe this is the best decision for me going forward in order to maximize my college football career. Please respect my decision and BC will always have a special place in my heart.”

Washington had 2 tackles on the season, including 1 in the Louisville game. He played 27 games at Harvard, recording 57 tackles and 6 interceptions.
