• Kenneth Dixon set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns as a freshman for Louisiana Tech in 2012 and has spent the past season as one of the most productive running backs in the country. The native of Strong set Louisiana Tech records for career rushing yards, career rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns (83).
Dixon was a month removed from setting Arkansas' career rushing record for high school players while leading Strong High School to its first state title. He was also a few weeks from signing with Louisiana Tech, the school he committed to about three months earlier, which was about 50 miles south of his hometown.
