Boston College’s men’s basketball program announced a new addition to its coaching bench this week, naming Jared Terrell as a graduate assistant for the upcoming 2026‑27 campaign. The move comes as head coach Luke Murray finalizes his support staff, adding a figure who has already tasted the intensity of the NCAA tournament and the rigors of professional play abroad.
A Career Forged in College and Abroad
Terrell’s collegiate roots trace back to the University of Rhode Island, where he emerged as a reliable scorer and floor general between 2014 and 2018. During his junior year he became the 54th player in program history to breach the 1,000‑point milestone, and as a sophomore he averaged 13.6 points while contributing 38 steals and ranking second in assists. His senior season featured two Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honors, highlighted by a career‑high 32‑point outing against Seton Hall.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft, Terrell signed a two‑way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves’ G League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves, before embarking on a professional journey that took him to Israel with Hapoel Eilat, Ukraine’s Dnipro, and Turkey’s Turk Telekom. He returned to Israel’s top league in 2022, accumulating experience that blends competitive intensity with cultural adaptation.
A Strategic Boost for the Eagles
The hiring marks the second graduate assistant position filled for the 2026‑27 season, alongside Charlie Weisberg, signaling a deliberate effort to enrich the team’s developmental pipeline. With Terrell’s blend of tournament savvy and international exposure, the Eagles aim to deepen player preparation as they navigate an exhibition schedule that includes a matchup at MIT on October 25 before opening the regular season against Wagner on November 3.
