Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Dixon played more on special teams than defense as a freshman with a loaded roster ahead of him, but he already has the look of a future star. When he did get defensive snaps, he was largely used as a slot corner, where his man coverage skills are evident. Maybe he eventually moves to that position in our system, but we ultimately think his frame suggests a future move to linebacker.

The fact that Dixon is already all of 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds, is only in the seventh-grade and is playing outside linebacker–should get a lot of people excited for the future of football in the greater Charlotte area. There’s a lot to like here in terms of his length, range and attacking playing style. Not to mention he has another year of youth football to go. On the field, I made notes about his ability to shed blocks and close in on the ball-carrier quickly. Also plays some wide receiver on the offensive side of the ball and will likely become one of the better wideout’s in the 2029 class next year, too.
