Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League

 
For West Allegheny football, Dickerson was Mr. Everything. In the 2005 football season, Dickerson had an unforgettable senior year, playing running back, sometimes quarterback, sometimes receiver, defensive back and kick returner. He was the Post-Gazette Player of the Year before being selected to play in the prestigious US Army All-American Bowl. That season, Dickerson rushed for 1,429 yards, had 22 receptions for 423 yards, completed a few passes, led the WPIAL in touchdowns with 36 and intercepted four passes. No wonder he was ranked among the top 100 players in the country. Dickerson went on to play at Pitt, where he had another unforgettable senior year – as a tight end. He was selected a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association and CBS Sports. Dickerson went on to play in the NFL for three seasons with the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions.
