Casey Dick (born June 27, 1986) is a former American college football quarterback for the University of Arkansas. He is currently head coach at Fayetteville High school.
High school career
Dick played for Allen High School in Allen, Texas, United States. As a senior in 2004, he threw for 1,942 yards and 14 touchdowns, while adding 401 yards and 8 touchdowns rushing.
College career
Dick committed to the University of Arkansas during the 2005 recruiting season. He was a 3-star rated prospect by Rivals.com recruiting analysts, heading a small group of 2005 quality QBs in Texas, alongside Chase Daniel and Colt McCoy.[1]
Freshman season
Dick practiced as the 3rd team quarterback/scout team quarterback for the majority of the 2005 season, anticipating being redshirted for the season. His first playing time came during that same season in which he started off the bench over then-starter Robert Johnson for the game against South Carolina. Dick played well against South Carolina, Ole Miss, and third-ranked LSU and finished the season as the starting quarterback for the Razorbacks.
Sophomore season
Dick sustained an injury during summer practices, prompting coaches to again start Johnson against
Junior season
The 2007 football season was Dick's junior season. Pursuant to Mustain's transfer to
Dick ended the season in third place in Arkansas school history for touchdown passes with 35, behind Matt Jones with 53 and Clint Stoerner with 57. He finished the year fourth in the SEC with a QB rating of 129.67.[2]
Senior season
Dick entered his senior season under new head coach
Dick began the 2008 season with two consecutive 300-yard performances, the first of his career, and the first time in history that an Arkansas quarterback had thrown for 300 yards in back-to-back outings. After the first two games, Arkansas faced stronger competition, and Dick's output gradually suffered until he hit a statistical bottom of 94 passing yards against
In his final game, Dick came off the bench to replace his injured brother Nathan and threw two touchdowns, including a fourth-down throw to receiver London Crawford with 22 seconds remaining, and led Arkansas 31–30 over LSU. The play was reminiscent of the "Miracle on Markham", Matt Jones's game-winning TD throw to beat LSU in 2002, which was roughly the same distance in yardage and was to the same corner of the same end zone. Dick's touchdown, the last pass of his career, would go on to be voted by fans as a finalist for the Pontiac Gamechanging Performance, a title awarded to the most outstanding play of the year in college football. ESPN.com's Chris Low selected Dick's pass to Crawford as one of the top 15 plays in the SEC for the 2008 season, and selected the Razorbacks' win over LSU as one of the 10 best games in the SEC that season.[4][5]
