“Football programs across the country do an excellent job of giving back to their local communities and helping those in need,” AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry said in a statement. “The 2018 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team honors those select few student-athletes and one head coach who go above and beyond in the service of others.”
Dixon has been a key member of Wisconsin’s stingy defense over the last three seasons. He’s totaled 149 total tackles in his career to go along with five interceptions and a handful of pass break-ups. He currently leads the Badgers in total tackles with 14.
