... and yes, I spelled Keyion's name wrong in Thread title! Will a Mod please fix. Probably won't be the last so we should just call him Key Dixon!

Cool, looks like depth for QB or Corner. Maybe Safety too.

Keyion Dixon played quarterback and runs track at Glastonbury High School. Went to UConn camp on Wednesday. Had offers from Temple and UMass

Looks like a Safety or WR to me.

No FCS offers? What gives?

 

[uconnbill]

Must have impressed in camp for the offer.

Welcome to Storrs Key.

Welcome aboard Keyion Dixon. Looks to have legit speed and changes direction well for a tall kid.

Can confirm UConn has picked up a commitment from Glastonbury's Keiyon Dixon. Dixon plays QB at UConn, but will be a WR at UConn.

Dixon was up at UConn's camp this week and the staff, of course, knows Glastonbury well. He has the ability to be that big wide receiver.

His ability to read a defender and change direction quickly (besides his obvious speed) is exactly what stuck in my mind. Hope they worked him out at WR looks like someone who could help in the YAC department!

No FCS offers? What gives?

Might as well kick him off the team now.

 

[Palatine]

Nice that we're picking up athletes. Darius Butler was high school QB. The QBs in high school are often the best athlete on the squad. Great raw material.

Welcome Keyion! #hometownRep

Because twitter is a public forum for the most part figured I would share.

@BNich0622 my understanding is he'd probably be SEC level WR if some things clicked a little better, heard from 2 good sources;

I asked what things needed to click better:

@BNich0622 getting the ball to him...

FWIW.

Looks like a good pick-up. Still don't understand why they did not just offer Highsmith a scholarship rather than a preferred walk-on bs

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Keyion!!!

Time will tell? S school versus L or LL school. Forgot what Glastonbury is. Regardless, its in the past,let us focus on the athletes that will be coming in in the next class.

Signing Day can't come soon enough. Unless it's in December. That would be soon enough.
