Our great former Defensive back Ricky Dixon is suffering from ALS Lew Gehrig disease

It was great this week when Bob Stoops mentioned Ricky Dixon when he was announcing the Jim Thorpe Award at the College football Awards Show for the nations best Defensive back.

ALS has Ricky unable to walk, use his arms, talk, and even to breath
,
Medical Science has linked the many concussions to ALS from those in sports especially in the NFL as several former pro football players like Ricky now have ALS.

I personally donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association for ALS research to find a cure for this now incurable fatal Neuro Muscular disease.

May God bless Ricky and his family.

Very sad indeed....Rickey was in a few of my classes. One of the best Sooners DB of all time.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Ricky Dixon was one of the very best at his position at OU. I wish him peace, comfort, care and pray he is surrounded by love.
