High school roundup: Valley Christian wide receiver chooses Oregon

Football

Jurrion Dickey makes his decision

Valley Christian wide receiver Jurrion Dickey, a first-team all-Bay Area News Group selection as a junior last season, had narrowed his college choices to five Power 5 schools.

Monday, surrounded by family and friends at the Boys & Girls Club in East Palo Alto where he grew up, he cut the list to one.

Dickey pulled a bucket cap from a box and announced that he “will be taking his talents to the University of Oregon.”

He chose the Ducks over USC, UCLA, Washington and Penn State.

“My young man did it GO DUCKS,” Dickey’s mother, Shirri Brockett, wrote on Facebook. “He has made me the proudest Mommie in the world.”

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Dickey, rated a four-star prospect by 247Sports.com, was the West Catholic Athletic League’s receiver of the year last season. He led the Central Coast Section among stats reported to MaxPreps with 78 receptions for 1,304 yards and 19 TDs.

Dickey made headlines in February when he and his mother appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to relive a viral video in which Dickey weaved through teammates after catching a winning touchdown pass in a 7-on-7 game last summer to celebrate with Brockett.

“I call him my miracle child,” Brockett said on the show. “That’s because when Jurrion had torn his meniscus, that’s when we found out that he had an abnormal meniscus. He was 14 years old. He had surgery and the doctors told him that he probably wouldn’t play football anymore.

“It had broken him. Now he’s in high school, junior, with 21 football scholarship offers. … I just pray that he fulfills his dream, to be able to play in the NFL.”
