Happy Monday, friends and fans!
Longtime followers of the Oklahoma Sooners should recall Rickey Dixon, the 1987 consensus All-American safety and Jim Thorpe Award winner whose two interceptions were pivotal against Nebraska in the “Game of the Century: Part II”. For all that he accomplished during his collegiate career, he is being inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Picking off passes was Dixon’s thing, as his nine INTs in ‘87 and the 17 throughout his career rank first and second in Oklahoma history, respectively. Now he will become the 22nd Sooner player to be forever immortalized in the College Football Hall of Fame.
