Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels received exciting news on Friday when four-star recruit announced his commitment to North Carolina. He chose the Tar Heels over schools like Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, and Virginia.
Ranked No. 51 in the Class of 2025, Dixon visited Chapel Hill for an official tour on September 6, where the North Carolina staff clearly made a strong impression. After his visit, he quickly canceled a planned trip to Arizona and decided soon after.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 190 pounds, Dixon is a promising addition to Davis’s 2025 recruiting class. Recognized as a top-10 combo guard nationally by several recruiting platforms, he aims to build on the accolades he earned during Nike’s EYBL circuit this past summer as he prepares for his future at North Carolina.
This commitment holds significant implications for the Tar Heels, especially since the future of their backcourt may change after the 2024-25 season. RJ Davis will graduate after utilizing his final year of eligibility, and standout freshman Ian Jackson could enter the NBA Draft. While Elliot Cadeau and Seth Trimble are potential returnees, the unpredictable nature of college basketball makes no outcome certain.
Dixon will have a chance to make an immediate impact on a revitalized Tar Heel team. He’ll hopefully be joined by other talented recruits, as the North Carolina staff has been actively pursuing top prospects, including hosting No. 1 overall player AJ Dybantsa last weekend as the season approaches.
