The Tar Heels are looking to start another run of commitments from the transfer portal and it could start on Saturday.
According to On3 Sports transfer portal reporter Pete Nakos, Washington transfer cornerback Thaddeus Dixon is set to announce his commitment tomorrow between four different schools. The Tar Heels, who hosted him a couple of weeks ago, will be looking to land him over Michigan, Ole Miss and Washington, who is attempting to get him to return to school despite landing Tacario Davis.
As of right now, the buzz is that the Tar Heels should be feeling pretty confident going into this decision because of the connection that Dixon has with the team’s new defensive back coach, Armond Hawkins. The question is, will that be enough to overpower the outstanding visit that he enjoyed with Lane Kiffin and Co. and the late push that Washington is making to get him to return?
If it is, the Tar Heels will be getting one of the top corners out of the portal from this window and someone that is more than capable of replacing Alijah Huzzie. Dixon spent the last two seasons in Seattle with the Huskies after transferring in from Long Beach Community College where he played the first two years of his career. In 2023, he finished the season with 26 total tackles, 1.0 tackles for loss, one interception and five pass breakups while allowing 25 of his 40 receptions to be caught for 315 yards and four touchdowns in 361 snaps. This season, Dixon earned All-Big 12 honorable mention after an outstanding season where he finished with 43 total tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, one interception and ten pass breakups while allowing just 23 of his 51 targets to be caught for 237 yards and two touchdowns in 751 snaps.
