Dickson is a 757 native (military family) who played his high school ball in South Texas. A three-star in the 2021 class, he opted to return home for his college ball. After playing just 19 snaps across three games as a reserve offensive lineman this year, though, he'll try to spend his final three years somewhere that has a clearer path to the field.

With the playing time for deep reserves going to classmate Johnny Garrett, true freshman Layth Ghannam, and Gardner-Webb transfer Clayton Frady, Dickson is likely at least a year from a serious challenge for a starting position. The 6-3, 295-pounder joins a handful of other teammates - most, like him, facing an uphill battle to playing time - in planning to participate in preparations for the Military Bowl before departing the program.
