Dickson is one of the top interior pass rushers across California in the 2026 class and it’s coming off in monster Junior season for Monte Vista. Last week he picked up a offer from Sacramento State and is already a 13 offer kid heading into his Senior season. His commitment will be one of the top to watch over the next few months and he remains one of the elite uncommitted prospects in his class.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Moved up 63 spots to #61 overall and #6 DL prospect in the updated 2026 rankings. Ideal size, length, and frame for a major D1 defensive lineman at 6’4” 280 lbs. Possesses a good combination of speed and power mixing them up well to beat blockers and force them off balance. Flashes good twitch and natural movements skills in pursuit to redirect and chase the ball. High effort player that shows he can fight through double teams and play until the whistle. Shows good position versatility by being able to play both interior or on the edge. Saw a spike in recruiting this summer bringing his total offer count to 13.

Dixon could project out as an offensive tackle at the next level due to his size, length and athleticism, but he dominates both sides of the ball for one of the most respected programs in Norcal. He currently has two offers from SJSU and Cal and has elite length and a strong frame, especially for a ’26. He is a very twitchy inside player that snaps his hands quickly and has a quick first step, while able to redirect and plays with a high motor at all times/can sniff out screens/draws and already very technically sound for a Sophomore. Look for Dixon to be one of the regions best in the class and have a huge off-season that will end up with plenty more FBS offers.
