WEST LAFAYETTE - Saturday was supposed to be a big football game for Omarion Dixon.
The Indiana State redshirt freshman was coming home to West Lafayette, where he was an all-state running back at Harrison High School, to play against the Purdue Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Before the season, the Sycamore football program was struck by tragedy when a single-car accident killed two Indiana State football players and another student, with two others being seriously injured.
Dixon was one of the two survivors and on Thursday was released from the hospital more than two weeks after suffering numerous injuries, including breaking both legs and feet, one of his arms and fracturing his face.
