Evan Dickens News, Rumors, Updates - Liberty Flames

Looks poised for big role Dickens looks poised for a big role during 2026, Mike Sidhly of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After logging over 1,000 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns during Liberty's 2025 season, Dickens transferred to Boston College, presumably believing that he can log a top role for an even bigger program. BC's spring practice indicates he will, though there is still a lot of offseason remaining for the Eagles to determine his exact role. Boston College is not Dickens' first ACC team; Georgia Tech's 2023 season includes his 11 rushing attempts for 47 yards.

Signs with Boston College Dickens has signed with Boston College, according to the team's announcement Wednesday.

Impact Once again Dickens will be an ACC player. During 2023, as part of Georgia Tech, he logged 11 rushing attempts for 47 yards. After not playing the 2024 Yellow Jackets' season, Dickens transferred to Liberty, an opportunity that indicates why Boston College wanted him so much. He balled out with 229 rushing attempts for 1,339 yards (5.8 averaged per carry) and 16 touchdowns, last year's season-best for Conference USA.

Heroic effort comes up short Dickens ran 43 times for 267 yards and four touchdowns (and added one catch for 16 yards for the fun of it) against KSU on Saturday.

Impact Dickens did his very best in this game, as he has all season. In three of his last five games he ended up with over 200 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns. The Georgia Tech transfer finished the campaign with over 1,300 yards and 17 total TDs in 11 games. Because of QB play and defensive issues, though, Liberty finished 4-8. Will Dickens head right back into the portal off this remarkable run?

Huge numbers in defeat Dickens ran 30 times for 228 yards and two touchdowns against La Tech on Saturday.

Impact Dickens did his best to deliver the Flames a win, but his quarterback Ethan Vasko threw four picks and squandered Dickens' performance. The running back got himself over 1,000 yards on the season, though, which is good, given that the Flames won't be bowling after this loss.
