Background

Early life

Matthew Miller Dickerson was born on November 9, 1995, in San Francisco, California, to Pamela and Clarence Dickerson. Matt Dickerson grew up in San Mateo, California, and attended Junípero Serra High School, where he excelled in football and basketball.

As a freshman on the football team, he led the Padres to an undefeated championship season in the WCAL. He was also named Most Valuable Player of his freshman basketball team.

As a sophomore on the football team, he started the season on the varsity team before being sent down to the junior varsity team. He was recalled to the varsity team for the CIF Central Coast Section playoffs in football and called up in basketball as well. The Padres had not won a CCS Championship in football since 1990. On December 3, 2011, at Terra Nova High School, in a 42–21 win over the Menlo-Atherton Bears, the Padres won their second CCS Championship and first at the Division One level.

As a junior on the football team, he was named All-WCAL Honorable Mention as a defensive lineman and tight end. As a junior on the basketball team, the Padres reached the WCAL and CCS Championship Finals against the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs who were led by All-American Aaron Gordon. On February 16, 2013, at Foothill College, Dickerson guarded Gordon in the WCAL Championship Final. In the first quarter, Gordon drove to the basket and was fouled on the way up and wound up on top of Dickerson. Gordon wrapped his arms around Dickerson's neck and then proceeded to stand up immediately with players on the court from both teams playing peace makers. They would both receive technical fouls and Dickerson was suspended.

Before Dickerson's senior football season, he was named a USA Today High School All-American as well as the number six rated prospect coming out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Dickerson studied precalculus under Serra Hall of Famer Joe Kmak. Dickerson would miss his entire senior season due to a back injury. Despite missing his senior season, the Padres would be named co-champions of the WCAL with Archbishop Mitty and would go on to defeat the Monarchs in the CCS Championship Final to win their first Sectional Open Division Championship in any sport and at any level. He was teammates in football and basketball with future NFL player Easop Winston.

College career

Dickerson appeared in 44 games (16 starts) for the Bruins over four seasons. Over the course of his career he recorded totaled 97 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four passes defensed and 1.5 sacks. Dickerson's senior season was cut short after a severe injury to his collarbone.
