STATEMENT: Boston College Football’s Evan Dickens, Bo MacCormack POWER Run Attack—Full REPORT

Boston College football’s ground game and defense shine as Saturday’s practice reveals a newly physical mindset under Coach Bill O’Brien. AJ Black spotlights breakout performances from running backs Evan Dickens and a transformed Bo MacCormack, who’s bulked up and turned heads with ACC-ready physicality. The defensive secondary, led by standouts Marcus Upton, Max Tucker, and KP Price, frustrates receivers in intense one-on-one drills, while newcomers like Bodie Cahoun and Anthony Palano stake their claim as playmakers. Shifting to hoops, overlooked freshman Zach Smrekar rises as a potential starter, drawing praise in early scrimmages and adding depth to Luke Murray’s energized Boston College basketball squad.
