Out for season Dickens (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Impact Dickens will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury suffered during last week's matchup against Pitt. The 5-foot-10 running back had previously totaled 293 yards and four touchdowns on 4.5 YPC on the ground while accounting for 12 receptions for 114 yards and a score through the air as well.

Deemed unavailable for Saturday Dickens (leg) will be unavailable for Saturday's matchup versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Dickens sustained a leg injury last week against Pittsburgh that will force him to miss his first contest of the season. The running back serves as the starter for Boston College, leaving Bo MacCormack in line to see an expanded role in the backfield.

Non-practice participant Tuesday Boston College's head coach Bill O'Brien announced that Dickens (leg) did not practice Tuesday, Mike Sidhly of 247Sports reports.

Impact Dickens suffered a leg injury late in last Saturday's game against Pittsburgh, a problem that has continued into practice several days later. In five of his six games this season, the running back has scored at least one touchdown, making him one of Boston College's most reliable offensive options this season. With the Eagles back on the road this week at Georgia Tech, Dickens' availability is crucial for BC going into Week 8.

Exits game Saturday Dickens (leg) was helped off the field during Saturday's game against Pittsburgh, per Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe.

Impact Dickens exited the field Saturday and headed straight to the medical tent late in the fourth quarter, putting no weight on his right leg. Prior to exiting, the running back notched 14 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown, along with one reception for eight yards.

Makes an impact as a recevier Dickens totaled five rushes for 22 yards and gathered in 3 of 5 targets for 45 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 25-16 defeat to Southern Methodist.

Impact Dickens was limited to one of his worst outputs on the ground -- although it was still better than the six carries for nine yards he posted last week. Still, the tailback managed to make an impact as a pass-catcher, reeling in three grabs for 45 yards and a score. That hasn't been a common theme for Dickens, and given that his passing game remains volatile with Mason McKenzie at quarterback, fantasy managers shouldn't rely on that kind out output. Nonetheless, Dickens now has a touchdown in four of the Eagles' five games thus far in 2026.

Completely stymied by Hokies Dickens had six carries for nine yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for two yards during Saturday's 21-14 loss versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Dickens had a touchdown in each of his first three games this season, and had managed to be productive despite playing in a Eagles' offense that leaves a lot to be desired. But against Virginia Tech, he was completely shut down. Only Mason McKenzie, Boston College's quarterback, could find rushing room in Week 4. Dickens will look to get back on track at SMU in Week 5.

Another solid day Dickens tallied 15 rushes for 102 yards and one touchdown and caught 1 of 2 targets for eight yards during Saturday's 22-16 victory against Maine.

Impact Boston College only managed to beat FCS Maine by six points, but the starting running back Dickens had another good game. He scored his third rushing touchdown in three games, and surpassed 100 yards for the first time this season. The matchup gets much tougher in Week 4 against Virginia Tech.

Leading rusher in win Dickens notched 13 rushes for 56 yards and one touchdown and caught 5 of 6 targets for 24 yards during Friday's 28-21 win over Rutgers.

Impact Dickens only tallied 56 yards on the ground, but he was the Eagles' top ball-carrier with 13 carries. No other tailback got remotely involved on the ground, so it's safe to say this backfield is Dickens' to lose. It was also encouraging to see him catch five passes after reeling in just one in the opener.

Finds end zone in loss Dickens totaled 11 carries for 47 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 1 of 2 targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 34-15 loss versus Cincinnati.

Impact Dickens scored a touchdown against Cincinnati which saved his day from a fantasy perspective, but the tailback wasn't able to get going consistently as the Eagles lost pretty handily. Dickens was the team's top ball-carrier with 11 carries, but a poor Boston College offense overall could limit his production and opportunities this season.

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.

Hits portal after big season Dickens plans to enter the transfer portal, Chris Hummer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Dickens, a redshirt sophomore, had a breakout 2025 campaign. He rushed 228 times for 1,325 yards (5.8 ypc) and 16 touchdowns while adding six catches for 78 yards and a score.

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.

Rushes for TD Dickens ran 28 times for 106 yards and a touchdown against FIU on Saturday.

Impact That's three games in a row with over 100 yards for Dickens, and four in a row with at least one rushing touchdown. The Flames will probably miss a bowl, though Dickens is not to blame. He'll likely still finish with over 1,000 yards rushing and double-digit touchdowns.
