Dixon is a former four-star recruit and originally committed to Ole Miss in 2017. There, he played safety as a true freshman.
Following the scandal involving Hugh Freeze and ensuing sanctions, Dixon decided to leave Ole Miss and pursue a career elsewhere. He decided on Nebraska prior to the 2018 season and was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA.
In his only year with the Huskers, Dixon appeared in four games on special teams and made one tackle. He did not mention a potential destination.
