OFFENSE - NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM AND OFFENSIVE CENTER AND THE RIMINGTON TROPHY AWARD WINNER - WEEK #18
OC Landon Dickerson (6-6, 308, 5.22, 4.92) ( #69 in Photo) of The Alabama Crimson Tide Was an Incredible Offensive Center All of The 2020 Football Season. In That Incredible Football Season, Dickerson Was Selected as a First Team All-American Center; Won The Re*****on Trophy Award as The #1 Center in The Country; Was a Finalist For The Outland Trophy Award as The #1 Offensive Lineman in The Country; Was a First Team All-SEC; Was a Member of The Alabama Offensive Line That Was Awarded The Joe Moore Trophy as The Top Offensive Line in The Country; and Dickerson Shared With His Teammate, Alex Leatherwood, The SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
Dickerson Was a Graduate-Transfer From Florida State in 2019. He Arrived in Tuscaloosa Just Before Fall Camp Started and He Earned a Starting Position on The Starting Offensive Line and He Then Was Selected To The Second Team All-SEC.
Dickerson Had Some Incredible Player Stats in 2020. He Recorded an Incredible Run-Blocking Grade of 91.3 and Another Incredible 99.6 Grade on Other Blocking Assignments in The Entire Year of 2020 Campaign, Before His Season-Ending Injury.
Then, After All of Those Fabulous Honors in 2020, Dickerson Suffered a Season-Ending Injury Against The Florida Gators in The SEC Championship Game. He Then, Had Knee Surgery To Repair His Knee After He Had Damaged His Knee Ligament.
Although it Was No-Surprise To The Crimson Tide Players and Coaches, as To What They Were Seeing. It Was a Huge Surprise To The Crimson Tide Fans, Because The Fans Knew That Dickerson Was Lost For The Season With a Season-Ending Knee Surgery, So There Was Indeed a Huge Surprise When They Looked-Up and Saw Dickerson Getting Ready To Snap The Football on The Last Play of The National Championship Game.
In Getting To-Snap The Football It Gave Dickerson The Opportunity To Get The Feeling To Be Able To Share The Incredible Feeling of Winning The National Championship. This Was All Done After Less Than Four Weeks After Suffering Major Knee Surgery.
"This Experience Was an Amazing Experience," Said Dickerson. "It Was Something I Could Really Only Dream-About Until it Actually Happened."
"Being Able To Go-Out-There For One Last Play With My Teammates and To Be Able To Be Apart of Something Really Special, Because This Type of Opportunity Only Comes-Around Once in a Lifetime!"
"I'll Remember This Momentus Move For The Rest of My Life. In This Final Move, Dickerson Snapped The Football To The Quarterback, Just Like He Had Done in The 11 Games That He Had Started and Helped Lead His Team To Victory.
But Wait! Dickerson Did Not Snap The Football, in The National Championship Game, Until He Had Hugged Every Single Player in The Crimson Tide Huddle.
