Tight end Addazio to transfer, join father at Boston College
Syracuse tight end Louie Addazio will transfer to Boston College to join his father and new Eagles head coach Steve Addazio, The Post-Standard reported Thursday.
Addazio, a sophomore, hasn’t played in any games during his two injury-marred seasons at Syracuse. He had shoulder surgery during his senior year at Buchholz High School in Florida, and had more surgery after his freshman season with the Orange.
Addazio will sit out next season per NCAA transfer requirements.
Addazio was mainly a blocking tight end in high school, but as a junior in 2009, the tight end had four catches for 60 yards. He was also given honorable mention all-area honors by the Gainesville Sun for his performance as a defensive end that same season.
Steve Addazio, who was an assistant coach at Syracuse from 1995 to 1998, became the head coach at Boston College on Dec. 4. He arrived at BC after being the head coach at Temple for two seasons. Temple went 9-4 in 2011, then finished the 2012 season 4-7 in the Owls’ first season back in the Big East.
