Paxton: Glastonbury's Keyion Dixon Ready To Make Impact In UConn Football Return Game
>>“He’s another young guy who I think has matured and gets it,” UConn head coach Randy Edsall said of Dixon. “He understands that there are high expectations for everybody. He’s one of those guys and he has to meet those expectations that we have for him as a player, a student and a person.“I see him grasping those concepts.”<<
>>By hitting the weight room, Dixon has added almost 10 pounds of muscle, going from 183 pounds a year ago to around 191 and increasing his bench from 260 to 300.
“I came in during the offseason knowing that I had to work, focus on getting bigger and stronger, faster” he said. “When I came out here in the spring and put the pads on it really showed how I matured in the off-season. Gaining that weight in the weight room really helped me out.<<
