[edit] High school career

Dick played for Allen High School in Allen, Texas. As a senior in 2004, he threw for 1,942 yards and 14 touchdowns, while adding 401 yards and 8 touchdowns rushing.

[edit] College career

Dick signed with the University of Arkansas during the 2005 recruiting season. He was a 3-star rated prospect by Rivals.com recruiting analysts.

[edit] Freshman season

Dick practiced as the 3rd team quarterback/scout team auarterback 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 enough to finish the season for the Razorbacks as the starting quarterback.

[edit] Sophomore season

During summer practices, Dick sustained an injury, prompting coaches to again start Johnson for the Southern California game. His injury healed, and he played a few games in the 2006 season, playing extensively in the final four when Mitch Mustain was benched after leading Arkansas to an 8-0 record. He is perhaps most famous for leading Arkansas to a close loss against the eventual NCAA National Championship University of Florida Gators in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game.

Dick started in Arkansas' Capital One bowl game against Wisconsin, trading time with Mitch Mustain. He had a decent performance in the game, which Arkansas lost.

[edit] Junior season

The 2006-2007 football season will be Dick's junior season, in which he will no longer have to battle against Mustain for the starting quarterback job of the Razorbacks, as the latter has announced his plans to transfer.
