“Dickey is a talented player,” wrote Singletary, “that has 3-phase ability playing on special teams as a returner, safety where he had four interceptions and receiver, posting 1,304 yards along with 19 touchdowns last year. He brings a lot of ability, skills and intangibles to the game. He looks to be a multi-year starter and all-conference performer.”
Dickey is also listed as the nation’s No. 6 overall athlete, despite being a four-star recruit and not a five-star recruit. He is the nation’s No. 59 overall prospect.
