2023 athlete Collin Dixon decommits from Wisconsin

Tallmadge (Ohio) 2023 three-star athlete Collin Dixon has decommitted from Wisconsin, he announced on Thursday.

The 6-foot-1, 174-pounder originally committed to the Badgers in June.

“I want to thank Coach Whitted, Coach Leonhard, and the entire staff at Wisconsin for giving me an opportunity to play football at the next level,” Dixon wrote on Twitter. “I’m extremely grateful for the relationships I have built and their continuous belief in my abilities. With that being said, After many discussions with family I have decided to decommit from Wisconsin and open my recruitment back up.”

Dixon is the No. 943 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 50 athlete and the No. 28 senior recruit in the state of Ohio.

He is the second Wisconsin commit to back off their pledge to the Badgers on Thursday, joining three-star Chicago (Ill.) defensive lineman Jamel Howard.
