Rice Owls' Reliable WR from the Mid-2000s Era
Toren Dixon, a Rice Owls wide receiver from 2006-2009, stood out with consistent hands—catching passes in 38 straight games to end his career—and set a personal best of 158 receiving yards in a single game plus six catches for 64 yards against Texas Tech in 2007. A talented, complementary role player on a squad that rattled off seven straight wins in his junior year, Dixon brought reliability and streakiness to an offense often plagued by defensive woes. Now years post-college, he's a nostalgic nod to Rice grit but not a current roster fit.
