The top uncommitted TE in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Cretin-Derham Hall’s 6’5, 215 lber. Monteff Dixon Monteff Dixon 6'5" | 215 lbs | TE Cretin-Derham Hall | 2025 State MN brings some exciting dynamic ability and production to the table in the passing game. Also a power forward on the Raiders‘ esteemed basketball squad, Dixon posted 44 catches for 551 yards and 4 TDs at the end of the regular season and is a big reason why the Raiders are section champions and making a run at a state title this weekend. I believe his reception mark is #1 for TEs during the 2024 season, but don’t quote me on that, and Dixon is a super long, lean, and impressive pass catching product who looks and plays more like a big-bodied WR than a TE. Comfortable and effective flexing out and creating separation against both CBs and safeties, Dixon looks and moves like a D1 kid in his senior tape. Great size and frame, the senior’s route running and YAC ability is especially eye-catching at his size. Dixon displays burst as a route runner and is a vertical threat who can take the top off the defense and burn DBs with his top-end speed. He ran a mean corner-post, displaying loose hips, and he even shows some nuance with his head fakes. The big-time target is smooth at the top of the route and displays some acceleration out of his breaks, and had some DBs completely turned around thanks to his suddenness as a route runner. Dixon demonstrates good top-end speed and can finish big runs if he gets the edge and the sideline, and he uses and takes advantage of space, does a good job of setting up pursuers before bouncing it outside. Dixon also demonstrates ball tracking ability, breaks his routes off smoothly and quickly, has quick feet and has some shake after the catch, and a big catch radius and soft hands can reel in receptions away from his body. Only holding an offer from MSU-Mankato, Dixon is absolutely one of the best uncommitted seniors in MN and is a sleeper of a D1 pass-catching prospect for a potential FCS squad. This dude needs and deserves more college offers.

A big-bodied athlete out of the 651 and Metro 5A ranks, Cretin-Derham Hall’s 6’5, 215 lb. pass-catcher Monteff Dixon is a sleeper in the 2025 class still at the beginning of his recruiting journey. Great frame, athletic, and passed the in-person test when fellow PRzMN scout Nate Wahl Nate Wahl 5'8" | 210 lbs | DL Big Lake | 2027 MN saw him against St. Paul Central last fall, Dixon was dynamic in the open field, according to Nate, and came into the recruiting scene in late November with some NDSU graphics and a gameday invite to the Minnesota Gophers, which Dixon attended. Junior day invites from NIU, St. Thomas, South Dakota, and Sioux Falls have all followed, and for our subscribers who really like keeping track of darkhorse names in the state’s recruiting class, make sure you keep on the CDH Raider.
Dixon averaged over 11 yards a reception and totaled 5 TDs last fall while demonstrating a balanced skillset as a pass catcher and blocker and a lot to like as a pass catcher. The 6’5, 215 lber. looks like a solid route runner, and hits his marks, powers out of his breaks, and can find soft spots in zone coverage, plus he possesses a long, lean frame that could turn monstrous in a college S&C program. Dixon demonstrates strong hands that can catch the ball away from his body, good concentration that can finish receptions through anticipated contact, body awareness, and I also like how well he plays the ball in the air. The TE/WR hybrid also looks quick and effective at the top of the route, shows some shake after the catch, and can run through weaker tackle attempts at his lower body and pull away from slower pursuers after the catch. Plus, to really solidify that TE projection, Dixon is a technically efficient, willing, and physical blocker, both as an inline TE or out in space.
Monteff Dixon debuts in our Minnesota 2025 Rankings Update as our #32 overall junior and as TE3.
