A lot of times he’s bored because we put him on the best receiver and he locks him up and takes him away,” said John O’Mera, Dixon’s coach at Eastern Arizona. “It’s tough to evaluate him because somebody would try him every once in a while and he’d pick it. It was probably a boring year for him because not many people attempted to try him.”

At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds and a 4.4-second time in the 40-yard dash, it’s hard to blame them.

Recruiters later came from a long list of power programs from USC to Nebraska and Florida. Dixon visited Florida State and Mississippi State after taking an official visit to Alabama for the regular-season game with LSU.

After committing to Alabama, “they all came in and made their run at him,” O’Mera said. But he stuck with the Tide.

Before long, O’Mera said, Alabama will have a good idea how special Dixon can be.

“Not everybody can call on a junior college kid and say hey, this is a guy that’s just a great citizen,” O’Mera said. “We’ve never had any trouble with him. He’s a student that works real hard in the classroom and we never had any type of legal trouble or anything like that. He’s just been a model citizen and a model kid.”
