..... Bailor TEXAS Bailor
Per Scout:
Dickson is a stats machine, putting up record breaking numbers as a junior. He also stepped up on the big stage with a huge game to help his team capture a state championship. A very natural pass catcher and rout runner. He gets open often, but also gets open down the field to make big plays he shows good body control, hands and concentration, outjumping or just simply outplaymaking defensive backs, who sometimes are even in double coverage.
Per IT:
May project best to the slot long term because of his shiftiness, but Dickson will always be a threat on the outside because of his speed and hands.
Per BR:
Watching Dickson play receiver is pure bliss. The 6'1" burner plays much bigger than his frame, capable of making contested catches then shredding defenders in the open field. In 2014, he turned those talents into 39 receiving scores, which is a national record.
He is a recruit with a big reputation, one that his classmates will want to play with. That matters now in recruiting, and he has the skills to make an even bigger difference once he gets on campus.
Per OB:
Four-star Navasota wide receiver Tren'Davian Dickson is taking the recruiting process extremely slow after backing out of his pledge to Baylor in February.
This time around, Dickson wants to make the right decision and stick with it. While Texas A&M is reportedly the favorite to land him, Dickson is taking a closer look at Texas.
"It was a good visit," Dickson said. "I just checked out practice, and it was a good experience getting to see the way they do things. They were going up-tempo and running the spread. The spread is where I see myself fitting in the best."
Dickson isn't kidding. In Navasota's spread offense, Dickson put up ridiculous numbers as a junior. The 6-1, 178-pounder caught 90 passes for 2,166 yards and a national record 39 touchdowns en route to helping the Rattlers win the 4A Division I state title.
Texas might already have two wide receivers committed in the 2016 class, but the Longhorns are looking to take one or two more prospects at the position. Dickson is certainly high on their board.
"I got to talk to Coach (Charlie) Strong, and he told me that he needed me there because they are lacking at wide receiver," Dickson said. "Coach (Jay) Norvell talked to me about the receivers he's developed and stuff like that.
"Overall, Texas is a nice school. It's Texas, you know? There isn't much I don't know about them. They have the best history in the state."
