The bye week did not hurt Dorin Dickerson. He has been announced as a finalist for the John Mackey Award for the best tight end in college.
The other two finalists were Aaron Hernandez of Florida and Dennis Pitta of BYU.
I thought Pitta wouldn’t make it in favor of Dickson at Oregon. Pitta, though, had 9 catches for 111 yards and 2 TDs. That essentially pushed him over Dickson (5 receptions, 63 yards 1 TD).
congrats dorin

And to add to the good news, via the PG:
The defacto Big East title game is almost sold out.

hopefully the way that Pitt uses its TE’s and the success that both have had will help attract Oil City TE Ben Koyack who is a big time recruit.

Nate Byham is from Franklin only 10 miles from Oil City .. not sure if it willhave any effect on Koyack but it shouldn’t hurt … esepcially if both Nate and Doring gets drafted as I expect they will
