Army West Point football fans might best remember Larry Dixon for his tough runs, those carries where he bounced off of the defensive tackle and then ran over the linebacker.
Or they may recall Dixon as the captain of the team his senior season, used as part of marketing campaigns, front and center during postgame press conferences after another stellar game where he deflected the praise to his teammates and coaches.
Dixon might also be remembered for his mega-watt smile, the generosity of his time for fans, young and old.
Fans might also remember those massive legs, tree trunks really that helped him climb near the top of the all-time rushing leaders chart at a school nationally known for rushing.
