Texas Tech’s Explosive Freshman RB with 6.2 YPC and 18 Career TDs
Cameron Dickey, a 5-10, 215-pound freshman RB from Austin, TX, has already delivered 1,351 career yards and 18 touchdowns over two seasons for Texas Tech, averaging 6.2 yards per carry with a standout 2025 season (593 yards, 8 TDs in 6 games, 98.8 yards/game) [1][2][3][4]. His differentiator is elite burst and efficiency—posting a 6.4 YPC in 2025 and 5.49 YPC as a freshman—paired with a high-intensity, physical running style that thrives in gap schemes. Though he’s still developing pass-catching consistency (34 catches, 271 yards), his touchdown production and yards-after-contact potential make him a high-upside fit for teams needing a reliable, explosive back who can dominate short-yardage and open-field situations. No major injury history reported; his intensity and work ethic are frequently praised by coaches and analysts.
