He was the captain of the Crimson Tide’s offensive line in 2020. Dickerson paced Alabama’s offense to averaging 48.5 points per game, and it allowed for Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith, and Najee Harris to be Heisman finalists.
Dickerson’s efforts helped Jones and Smith set single-season school records. His protection of Jones propelled Smith to win the Heisman Memorial Trophy.
