Dixon is a lot quicker than you would expect for a DT nearly weighing 320 lbs. He jumps the snap quickly and is able to bull rush into the backfield. His size and ability to move is legit. Dixon uses hands pretty well to get off blocks, but not a priority when you are that much bigger and quicker than the competition. Dixon is definitely short, and just a bit over 6′. His energy at the snap is really good and he does an excellent job of fighting through the blocks. Dixon was really impressive his junior year, it’s surprising the lack of D1 interest considering how well he played. Dixon is very good at driving his legs through his opponent and has fairly strong hands too. His tackling could be better, there are too many arm tackles for our liking, but still effective at getting the ball carrier down. Dixon has a very impressive blend of power, size and speed – his lack of height is the biggest knock on the 2022 recruit. If he takes another jump this fall, it will be hard to argue against FBS schools not offering Dixon, despite his lack of height.
