Being from Imperial, PA and southwest Pennsylvania, Friday nights were dedicated to West Allegheny football. Attending West Allegheny football games, as a student, was very humbling because I got to see local sport stars, such as Tyler Palko and Dorin Dickerson. The first time I saw Dorin Dickerson I was in 8th grade and was amazed what this player could do as a senior in high school. Dorin played both sides of the ball and had amazing talent on both sides. Though at the University of Pittsburgh he had trouble finding his niche in the organization. Finally, as a tight end he caught 45 passes for 508 yards and 10 touchdowns and was an All-American. Dickerson was a 7th-round pick in 2010 to the Houston Texans, but was cut this past year. I am thankful to see this athlete return to southwest Pennsylvania and hopefully get to play for the Steelers. Hopefully he can play to the ability he did in high school and college.
