Glad he is coming back, and hope he does graduate too.

He on schedule to get his sheep skin? If he is, he’s got to consider making the jump.

Just sayin': I'll say just the opposite is true. If he is on schedule to graduate he should come back and get his degree. At this point in his football career he is "not a lock" to be a high draft choice and get a guaranteed multi-million dollar contract (i.e. potentially set for life). He should get his degree to prepare him for "life after football". Now if he isn't likely to ever graduate even with another year he might as well as you say "make the jump".

Agreed. I think when I wrote that I was asking relative to the end of the season. As in, “can he graduate after fall semester?” No matter now tho.

Parris Campbell Excited for Rest of Johnnie Dixon’s Story

Johnnie-Dixon-Penn-State-TD-1170x780.jpg


There will be many stories told regarding this season’s edition of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and one of them began well over a year ago.

Following the 2016 season — another essentially lost to injury — OSU wide receiver Johnnie Dixon was at a crossroads. He was thinking about giving up the game, and giving up the final two years of his eligibility.

He had worked so hard his first three seasons and had just seven catches and 10 times the heartbreak to show for it.

Johnnie Dixon was done.

Until he wasn’t.

Dixon leaned on his teammates, particularly classmate Parris Campbell. He told his friends what he was going through and what was going through his mind.

He was looking for answers, so Campbell gave him two.

“I told him either to stop, or show how much perseverance you have to use it as an example,” Campbell said.

You saw how the 2017 season went. You remember the two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the epic comeback win against Penn State. And you saw the six other touchdown catches as well.

Dixon decided to stick with the sport and he finished with 18 receptions for 422 yards and eight touchdown catches last season. While playing less than 50% of the snaps.

That’s how you get a story to start picking up its pace. But now Dixon may just be getting to the good parts.

“Obviously he came back and did that,” Campbell said. “He had a great season last year and is going to have another great season this year. Just for him, it’s going to be a story he can tell for the rest of his life. Younger athletes and younger people to see how he persevered through.”

Touchdown-catching, picture-taking, bowling ball-owning Johnnie Dixon is Ohio State’s most interesting man
By Austin Ward
Published on August 30, 2018

COLUMBUS — Johnnie Dixon has a knack for showing up where he’s least expected.

In a seam of an opposing secondary as he streaks away for an Ohio State touchdown.

Basically anywhere on campus with the Buckeyes now qualifies heading into a fifth season with the program that never would have anticipated him being around this long when he arrived.

Wandering around downtown Columbus or in a random park with his Canon Rebel T6 camera out snapping gorgeous photos.

Finding a moment during training camp to squeeze in some Fortnite isn’t all that unusual these days. But there might not be a lot of wide receivers turning off the gaming systems to unwind by doing some sketching.

Then there’s the bowling alley.
