It can be tough to be an immediate contributor as a true freshman once you get to the college level no matter what your rating was come out of high school. Still, some guys will find their way out there at some point in time and it is fair to wonder who that could be for Georgia Tech this season.

247Sports named their immediate impact freshman for each team in the ACC and for Georgia Tech, they chose running back Evan Dickens. Dickens was an early enrollee and participated in spring practice and had a solid spring game. He had six carries for 24 yards and one touchdown in the spring game.

Dickens was formally committed to Coastal Carolina before backing off of his commitment during the recruiting process. He is a physical runner that has enough explosiveness to hit big plays. His development will be one to follow through the next few years.

I think there is a chance that 247 is correct in this prediction. While Dontae Smith and Louisville transfer Trey Cooley could get the majority of the carries, there is a chance that Dickens can earn his way to get carries and provide depth in the backfield. He showed that potential in the spring and he could make the running back room one of the deepest positions on the team if he keeps improving.

Georgia Tech kicks off the 2023 season against Louisville on Friday, Sept. 1st on ESPN.
