Boston College running back A.J. Dillon has declared for the 2020 NFL draft.
The prolific rusher announced his decision through Twitter on Tuesday.
Dillon never rushed for less than 1,108 yards in a single season throughout his three years in Chestnut Hill. His collegiate totals of 4,618 yards from scrimmage and 40 touchdowns in three years are truly astounding. His performance saw him named to the preseason Doak Walker, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp watch lists.
“To my coaches, teammates, fans and the B.C. community, the last three years have been unbelievable,” Dillon said in his declaration video. “Junior year, being able to become Boston College’s rushing leader is something I’ll always cherish.”
His decision comes as no surprise, as he has been seen by many as one of the most feared running backs in all of college football for three years now. Dillon is built like a truck at 6-foot-0, 250-pounds and he runs like it. He looks to hand out punishment on every touch of the football.
Dillon’s physicality and proven production should land him a solid role at the next level.
