Dillon Honored as AP Third Team All-American

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College running back AJ Dillon was named an Associated Press Third-Team All-American on Monday. Dillon, who declared for the 2020 NFL Draft earlier this month, led the ACC and was fourth in the country with 1,685 rushing yards as a junior.

Dillon leaves BC with 4,382 career rushing yards and 38 rushing touchdowns; both school records. His 4,618 all-purpose yards and 40 total touchdowns are also the most in Boston College history.

Following a breakout freshman campaign in 2017, Dillon was named the ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was also voted to the FWAA and ESPN.com Freshman All-America teams. Dillon earned the George "Bulger" Lowe Award, "New England's Heisman Trophy", in 2017. He repeated that feat in 2019.

For the third straight season, Dillon was named to the All-ACC first-team in 2019. His 14 career 150-yard rushing games were the most by any ACC player over the last 20 seasons. Dillon finishes his career fourth all-time in rushing in the ACC; 227 yards shy of the record.

Dillon will not play in BC's bowl game against Cincinnati on Jan. 2 in Birmingham, Ala.
