MOBILE, Ala. – Nicholls State University wide receiver Dai'Jean Dixon was one of only 31 players at the FCS level to be named the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl Watchlist.
 
A native of New Orleans, Dixon has been a standout for the Colonels in his four seasons as he is the program leader in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and receptions. Averaging nearly 70 yards per game in his tenure, Dixon has racked up 2,800 yards and 27 touchdown catches. In only nine games in 2019, he became the first Colonel since 1986 to finish with over 1,000 yards receiving in a season. 
 
Dixon totaled 514 yards and seven touchdown grabs in the Colonels' spring season, earning All-Southland First Team for the second consecutive campaign. For the upcoming fall season, Dixon has already been named preseason All-American by Stats Perform and HERO Sports and was also selected to the Walter Payton Award Watch List, which honors the top FCS offensive player in the nation.
