McCluster Named To SEC Community Service Team
11/25/2009 | Football
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster was distinguished Wednesday on the SEC Football Community Service Team. The conference highlights a student-athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.
A senior captain from Largo, Fla., McCluster regularly speaks and participates in reading programs at Oxford area schools. He is a volunteer with the annual National Student-Athlete Day Community Service Project and the "As We Grow" Summer Fitness Program.
In March, McCluster has took part in the "Arts for the Angels" charity performance for Angel Ranch, with all proceeds going to benefit temporarily displaced children who are in the protective custody of the Mississippi Department of Human Services. During game week at the 2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl, he also visited with children at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas.
On the field, McCluster leads the Rebels with 903 rushing yards this year, and needs 97 yards to become just the fourth Rebel all-time to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. McCluster set the Ole Miss single-game rushing record earlier this season with a 282-yard, four-touchdown outburst against Tennessee.
