Hilliman is another player that burst onto the scene his freshman year. Other than former quarterback Tyler Murphy, Hilliman was the leading rusher for Boston College. He has become the No. 1 option and running back and should see plenty of carries yet again in 2015.

The now-sophomore had three 100+ yard games including a 148 yard performance against Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl. Though he has struggled against some of the conference’s top competition (12 rushes for 17 yards against Clemson and 17 rushes for 42 yards against Louisville), he has shown a lot of upside to his game.

In 2014, he finished with 860 yards and 13 touchdowns. Hilliman is learning more and more, now entering his sophomore year. With another year of experience under his belt, Hilliman should be able to improve upon his already impressive 800+ yards last season.
