NORMAN — The brightest spot in Rickey Dixon's summer came in early June when he learned he was on the 2017 College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
For the former Oklahoma cornerback diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in July 2013, it was a humbling moment.
With 75 former FBS players vying for 12 spots in the induction class, everyone's odds are slim to make the final cut.
Dixon's wife Lorraine has no idea if her husband will make this year's class, but she knows that because his time is growing short, being inducted this year would be incredible.
