Dickey named to Maxwell Award watch list

This major pre-season recognition comes on the heels of his massive sophomore year, where he busted out for 1,124 rushing yards and 14 scores. He dominated Big 12 defenses. Dickey truly showcased his talent, leading the entire conference in total touchdowns.

For Lubbock, this nomination brings serious excitement for game days on University Avenue. It gives Red Raider fans, whether planning tailgates in the Depot District or grabbing gear at South Plains Mall, something big to rally around. Imagine the roar from Jones AT&T Stadium if one of our guys actually brought home this kind of hardware, putting our city firmly on the national sports map. Only two Red Raiders have ever won a major national individual award, and none since 1990.
