2016 Commit #2 ~ Keyion Dixon (QB/CB) Glastonbury CT

[blue93]

According to Desmond Connor Keyion Dixon, according to two sources probably could have been SEC level WR if given the ball more. I think we got a winner here at WR.

Thankfully we never have trouble getting the ball to our receivers

 

[cttxus]

We have any track times? That may tell the story.
We do not have many schollies so there has to be something here we don't see.

Odd comment. He had other D1A offers . . .

 

[Buffett10]

I saw the kid playing in a tournament today and he's extremely athletic kid. There was a pass about 10 feet in the air and he nearly came down with it. Supposedly he has a 37" vert already. Good pickup for UConn

from who? Honest question because I haven't been able to find that out myself.

Given that the UConn vs BYU game is not until 10pm, yup!!

 

[Confident Carl]

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

Since when has the state of CT produced anyDefensive backs with any athletisism?
We probably have to go outside CT to get any real talent! LOL!

#UConn commit @Iam_KeyDixVII had touchdown runs of 14 and 72 yards tonight as Glastonbury beat Bulkeley/HMTCA/Weaver 49-8. #cthsfb

 

[MuchoDogYears]

I didn't really pay much attention when he committed to UConn with it coming at the same time as a number of other commitments.

Just got a chance now to look at the posted videos, and read the stories about him, and we got a diamond in the rough. He's got size, speed, acceleration, ... he's a leader and a freak athlete.

Would love to see him get a shot at WR at UConn. He has that break-away big-play ability that we haven't seen here much.

Keyion and his Glastonbury teammates were beat last night 21-20 by Newtown in State Quarterfinals (Newtown's LB/FB Ben Mason holds a 2017 UConn Offer) .

Nice run.

Was that a DDP move at the end or a nae nae?

A little national notoriety for KD

[Colin G]

Don't sleep on my boy, hes fast, unreal athlete, and REEALLY determined to succeed, wants to play at the highest level and probably can, legit threat on offense or defense, really good guy too, the whole package

 

[ktuck911]

Here's hoping this young man and Skanes can provide some excitement on special teams early in their playing careers. We need the help in our return game.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

It's more than being just athletic.
QB's usually have good hands ,which is essential for a WR and a huge plus at safety.
Some athlete types lack the hand eye coordination to be effective.
Our small DBs were overmatched in a couple of gams by tall WRs
Anytime you get a track guy ,with good hands and height ,you try to find him a spot.

Officially a Husky!! #SignedSealedDelivered #Huskyup

 

[TwoFacedHack]

I really like Keyion. Good kid, energetic, excited about being a Husky and incredibly talented. He played WR at a 7-on-7 in Stamford a few months back and showed off some freakish speed and great hands. Looking forward to seeing what he does at UConn.

Byron Jones? Was he not athletic? Although, perhaps, this is sarcasm that doesn't play well on a post.
