Garrick Dixon (b. Sept. 6, 2007) is a promising young cornerback from St. Louis who plans on majoring in business administration. I expect him to redshirt* but still play and appear on the depth chart as a reserve.

With what special teams coordinator Stanton Weber had to say in May, I think Dixon will be on special teams:

Garrick Dixon had a great winter, and he’s really shown that he’s capable.

Dixon, who runs a hand-timed 4.55 40-yard dash, prepped under head coach Ben Pike at Fort Zumwalt High School West in St. Louis, where he was rated the 75th-best cornerback in the Class of 2026 by Rivals, while the organization viewed him as the 16th-best overall player in the state of Missouri.

He picked up Class 5 All-District 4 accolades from the Missouri Football Coaches Association as a junior and senior for the Jaguars, while he was a second team all-state honoree by the organization as a senior.

Dixon signed with K-State after a great camp performance over competing scholarship offers from Air Force, Army, Cincinnati, Cornell, Dartmouth, Eastern Michigan, Iowa State, Lindenwood, Miami (Ohio), Navy, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, UT Martin, Western Illinois and Western Michigan.

“I worked at corner and halfway through switched to safety,” Dixon said on his camp in Manhattan. “I see myself anywhere the coaches need me and I feel comfortable playing both.

“Being able to get around the coaches and players for a weekend, I was able to get a feel for the program and I knew it was the right fit.”

*Keep in mind that starting this season, redshirted players can play in up to nine total games and retain their year of eligibility. If the 5-for-5 rule survives its court challenges, that number goes from nine to “all of them.”
