Former MSU running back hosts youth clinic

Last week, former Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott held a youth football camp in Starkville. Today, another Bulldog alum followed suit up in the metro.
Former MSU running back Anthony ‘Boobie’ Dixon set up shop at the Madison Healthplex, one year removed from his last down in the NFL.
2016 was the first season Dixon wasn’t on a professional roster since he left Mississippi State after spending his playing days with the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills.
The six year veteran says he still wants a chance at getting back in the league, but if that doesn’t work out he hopes to keep coaching up younger athletes in the game of football and the game of life. “All the battles, all the lessons, all the great people you meet along the journey. I bumped into so many coaches, you know what I’m saying? It opened me up and expanded me so much just getting out of Mississippi for that time I did. And now I try to come back and give to these kids. Some of these kids have never seen some of that stuff so I’m trying to paint a picture for them and tell them what’s out there. And I want them to do better than I did.”
Dixon says he got the nickname “Boobie” during his freshmen year at MSU after teammates compared him to Boobie Miles from “Friday Night Lights.”
