Curtis Dickey
Curtis Raymond Dickey (born November 27, 1956) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons, spending most of his career with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts before finishing his career with the Cleveland Browns. He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies.
Curtis Dickey was born on November 27, 1956, in Madisonville, Texas. Dickey was one of six children, and grew up in Bryan, Texas. Dickey attended Bryan High School where he was a multi-sport star in football, basketball, and track. Dickey was a Texas All-State selection in football in both his junior and senior years. After his 1976 senior season, Dickey was considered the number one high school football prospect in the country. Although he was courted by other programs, Dickey chose to stay in his hometown to play football at Texas A&M University.
Dickey was a two-sport athlete at Texas A&M, earning varsity letters in all four years as a running back in football and a sprinter on the track team.
Dickey excelled on the football field, finishing his Texas A&M career with the then-record for all-time rushing yards (currently, the second most all-time rushing yards). His college career stats included 697 rushes for 3,703 yards for a 5.3 yard average and 31 touchdowns.
In his freshman season (1976), Dickey and George Woodard led a dual backfield that propelled the Aggies to a 10–2 record and a #7 rank in the final AP poll. Texas A&M appeared in the 1976 Sun Bowl, defeating Florida 37–14. The following season, the dual-threat attack of Woodard and Dickey continued to produce, but the Aggies finished the season 8–4 and lost to USC in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Dickey's junior season was his best statistical season at Texas A&M. He led the team in rushing with 1,146 yards and nine touchdowns. The Aggies earned a bid to the Hall of Fame Classic, where Dickey set a bowl game record with 276 rushing yards. Texas A&M defeated Iowa State 28–12. Dickey was plagued by injuries during his senior season, but still led the team with 853 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. The Aggies went 6–5 and did not make a bowl appearance.
In 1988, Dickey was elected to the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame
As a world-class sprinter, Dickey won the NCAA indoor championship in the 60-yard dash three times (1978–1980). His 10.11 in the 100 meters was the sixth fastest time in the world in 1978. He also posted a personal best of 6.10 seconds in the 55 meters. At the 1980 Southwest Texas Indoor Track and Field Championship, Dickey finished second behind Herkie Walls in the 60-yard dash (55 meters).
In February 1980, Dickey won the U.S. National Indoor Track and Field Championship in the 60-yard dash, posting a time of 6.09 seconds.
