Josh Huepel, the football coach for the Tennessee Vols, needs to create an impression on the recruiting road. Thankfully, he has experience making it happen because the Vols have recently been very successful at attracting elite players. When it comes to hiring Thaddeus Dixon, will that be the case again?
Although the Washington cornerback is still in the transfer portal, fans are holding out hope that he will make a decision soon. The 6-1, 185-pound fighter declared on Monday night that he is headed to Tennessee, North Carolina, Michigan, and Ole Miss, but he hasn’t completely ruled out going back to UW:
4-star transfer The Tennessee Vols are one of CB Thaddeux Dixon’s finalists.
The Huskies used the Los Angeles native to make plays during the previous two seasons. Dixon had 26 total tackles and one interception at the end of 2023. During the 2024 season, he added one more interception and 43 total tackles.
Since he chose to use the transfer site, other colleges have contacted him, making him a highly sought-after athlete at the moment. Dixon is rated four stars, the 11th best cornerback in the country, and the 106th best transfer overall, per 247Sports.
He was ranked as the 12th best CB in the nation and the 77th best player in his class when he graduated from high school. He will be a huge asset to whoever team he signs with next because of his expertise and ability to create plays. Will it be Tennessee in the end?
Everyone is now anticipating that. When Zachariah Branch and Zion Branch announced they would be signing with Georgia, many UT fans were a little sad. Dixon would be a good acquisition at this stage of the offseason, but other potential candidates have also chosen to play elsewhere. We’ll know soon if Heupel succeeds or fails.
