Dixon, meanwhile, anchored a Pirate defense that was one of the best in the history of the program. From his cornerback position, he grabbed a SCFA Northern Conference-leading six interceptions on the year, twice as many as the No. 2 spot. The Baltimore, MD native returned three interceptions for touchdowns. Dixon also totaled 45 tackles on the season and had eight pass break-ups.
