Hall of Fame
Corry Jones will go down in the annals of Dixie’s storied history as one of the greatest athletes ever to compete at the institution. Jones was a four-sport letter winner in football, basketball, baseball and track and field in his two years in St. George.
He helped lead the Rebels to a 9-1 record on the gridiron in 1962 under legendary Dixie Hall of Fame Coach Sark Arslanian. Jones then turned around and served as team co-captain on Dixie’s 1963 Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) men’s basketball championship-winning team for Dixie Hall of Fame Coach Doug Allred, and earned all-ICAC in both sports.
Then for good measure he was the Rebels’ starting left fielder and top hitter on the Dixie College baseball team, and threw the javelin and competed in the high jump on the track team. For all his efforts, Jones was named the 1963 Dixie College Athlete of the Year.
