On an Official Visit today in Raleigh, the Wolfpack must have made a quick impression on the former consensus 4-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. Dixon took a visit to UNC earlier this week.

News broke of Dixon entering the Transfer Portal on January 4th.

Dixon played in only 3 games for the Crimson Tide this season as a True Freshman, allowing him to Redshirt. He has 4 years of eligibility.

Coming out of Spanish Fort High School in Mobile, Alabama, Rivals ranked him as the #169 overall player nationally, the #6 Linebacker and the #10 player in the state of Alabama.

It’s my understanding that Dixon was on a visit to UNC yesterday.

ON3 currently ranks him as the #29 Linebacker in the Transfer Portal.

Dixon is NC State’s 9th commitment in their 2025 Transfer Class, Linebacker Tra Thomas (Temple), Cornerback Jamel Johnson (Temple), Offensive Linemen Teague Anderson (Utah State), Brock Stukes (North Carolina A&T) and Jalen Grant (Purdue), Linebacker AJ Richardson (Norfolk State), Tight End Cody Hardy (Elon), and Cornerback Jaren Sensabaugh (Temple).
