2024-25 Recipient

Avery Dickerson (Albertville, Ala./Albertville) spent four seasons in the circle as a pitcher on the AUM softball team, helping the Warhawks to NCAA Division II Tournament appearances in all four years. She finished her playing career with a 34-10 record with 24 complete games, six shutouts, and a 2.72 earned run average, earning a pair of All-Conference honors along the way. A first-generation college student, Dickerson starred in the classroom as well, picking up Gulf South Conference Honor Roll distinction in all four of her collegiate seasons, along with two Easton/NFCA All-American Scholar Athlete awards. Dickerson also dedicated much of her free time to volunteer efforts throughout her college career, with a specific focus on healthcare initiatives. From participating in events to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s research to gaining hands-on experience at local clinics, Dickerson’s desire to help others has led her to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, with the long-term goal of becoming a women’s health physical therapist focused on pregnancy, postpartum, and infant care.
