āAt my initial visit with Coach Morris, he presented a combination of academics and athletics that appealed to me,ā explained Dickson of his decision.Ā āThe amount of time spent training and studying is what I feel is needed to help me play football at a higher level and transition from high school to university classes.ā
āI’m excited that the Bears would like me to be a part of their future and the fact that some of my fellow Team Manitoba teammates have also committed to Alberta make it that much better.ā
