CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College defensive end E'Lla Boykin, running back Evan Dickens, safety KP Price and cornerback Max Tucker were named to the 2026 Shriners Children's East-West Bowl 1000 Watch List.Â
Boykin played in 11 games with one start on the defensive line for the Eagles in 2025 after transferring from Division II Barton College last summer, totaling 19 tackles and one sack.Â
Dickens joined the Eagles in January after spending two seasons at Georgia Tech and one at Liberty, where he established himself as one of the nation's top running backs. In 2025, the Marietta, Ga., native rushed for 1,339 yards and 16 touchdowns, finishing fifth nationally in rushing yards, fourth in rushing touchdowns and third in rushing yards per game (121.7). He also ranked seventh in the country with 127.7 all-purpose yards per game and 10th nationally in scoring at 9.3 points per contest, capping one of the most productive seasons by a running back in the nation.
Price enters his fourth season with the Eagles after earning All-ACC Second Team honors and serving as a team captain in 2025. A cornerstone of Boston College's secondary, he has started each of the Eagles' last 25 games while emerging as one of the ACC's most consistent presences in the defensive backfield. Over the past two seasons, Price has totaled 179 tackles, nine pass breakups, four interceptions and one fumble recovery.Â
Now in his fourth season on The Heights, Tucker has appeared in 34 career games with 20 starts at cornerback for the Eagles. The Hyde Park, Mass., native has been a key contributor to Boston College's secondary over the past two seasons, tallying 55 tackles, four pass breakups and three interceptions.Â
The Shriners Children's East-West Bowl is a best-in-class all-star event that will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on February 4, 2027. Players will be coached by NFL coaches, in an NFL facility, and will have access to NFL-level resources, player-friendly schedules, and opportunities at the highest level.
