Sleeper RB racking up yards
There is another running back in Southern California that is getting a lot of letters but the phone calls are nil. What makes this one strange is he was his League’s MVP as a junior when he rushed for 1,400 yards and 19 touchdowns while missing two games because of an ankle sprain.
The name of this running back is Anthony Dickson (5-11, 185, 4.4) from Van Nuys (Calif.) Grant.

Dickson has been on tear over the last two weeks as he has rushed for close to 600 yards over the last two weeks. He rambled for 317 yards against Huntington Park two weeks ago and last Friday evening he sprinted for 279 more yards against league foe North Hollywood.
That’s not all. Dickson has found his way to the end zone too. He scored six touchdowns against Huntington Park and four more against North Holly.
For the season Dickson has rushed for 1,200 and has scored 11 rushing touchdowns in seven games.
In limited opportunities, Dickson has been a very productive receiver. He has ten receptions on the year and has scored four touchdowns receiving.
“I have received a ton of letters,” Dickson said. “But I haven’t received one phone call.”
“I have received letters from schools like Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Colorado, Wisconsin and Wyoming,” Dickson said. “There are more but those are the ones that come to mind.”
