His influence off the field reaches much further. Dixon earned a spot as one of 13 finalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which annually recognizes the best football scholar-athlete in the nation—partly for his community activities that include mentoring youth at a correctional center, developing a program for student-athletes aimed at reducing the stigma of seeking mental health services and speaking to community and youth groups. Dixon was also nominated to the 2018 American Football Coaches Association Good Works team.
