Boston College is losing one of its few consistent sparks from a tough 2025 season. On Monday morning, sophomore running back Turbo Richard officially entered the transfer portal, signaling the end of his time with the Eagles after just two seasons.
And while BC’s 2-10 record tells the story of a program that struggled to find its footing, Richard was the kind of player who kept showing up-week in, week out-with energy, effort, and production. He wasn’t just a bright spot in a dim season; he was often the engine keeping the offense moving.
Across 11 games, Richard racked up 1,027 yards from scrimmage and found the end zone 11 times. That put him fifth in the ACC in total touchdowns and 10th in rushing yards-no small feat considering the uphill battle Boston College faced nearly every week.
He wasn’t just piling up empty stats, either. Richard made his presence felt with explosive plays, including long touchdown runs that flipped momentum in games against Cal, Georgia Tech, and others.
When BC needed a spark, it was often Turbo who provided it.
What stood out even more than the numbers, though, was his consistency and commitment. In a year where morale could’ve easily dipped, Richard kept grinding.
He ran hard, played through contact, and carried himself like a leader. He was a team-first guy in a season that tested everyone’s resolve.
Now, as he hits the portal, Richard becomes one of the more intriguing running backs available. He’s got the production, the tape, and the work ethic to make an impact wherever he lands next. And for Boston College, it’s not just about losing a productive back-it’s about losing a tone-setter, a guy who brought juice to the field even when the wins didn’t follow.
Wherever Turbo ends up next, he’ll bring that same edge. And for BC, the challenge now is figuring out how to replace not just the yards, but the heart he brought to the offense.
