Anyone know about this kid named ...

Dixon is a 6-2, 244. Plays OLB. JUCO who was headed to K-State but just flat out hates school apparently. Didn't play last year because of academic reasons, but played 2 years at Hutchinson CC.
He ran a 4.43 forty, jumped a 44-inch vertical jump and can bench 465 pounds. These were his 2004 numbers:
161 tackles (112 solos), setting school and conference single-season records with 43 TFL. He blocked five kicks, caused four fumbles and intercepted two passes while recording 8.5 sacks. He gained 81 yards on three punt returns (27.0 avg) and 306 yards on eleven kickoff returns (27.8 avg).
Will be rawer than the proverbial onion but with that skill-set and athletic talent he should at least be worth a look.

Hall Of Famer
David Dixon, OLB, Hutchinson JC. Out of football in 2005, Dixon entered the NFL Draft after deciding not to enroll at Kansas State. Not fond of the classroom, but he is very quick and a punishing tackler. Dixon is an extremely raw athlete, but he has a good work ethic when it comes to football and could prove to be a tremenOLB/Pass Rush End| (6'2", 244, 4.45) | HutchinsonJC
Has a well-built frame with thick bone structure, broad shoulders, muscular arms, big hands, good bubble and good-sized legs, thighs and calves…Is a strong presence on defense who needs to be accounted for on every play…Plays alert and is quick to read and react, making proper body adjustments on the move…Flashes outstanding strength at the point of attack and can fill the rush lanes with authority…
Has very good stack/tackle ability vs. the inside run…Does a very good job of using his hands to control the blocker, easily adjusting and reacting to the plays in front of him.
Flashes the hand strength to play off blocks…Has the outstanding speed, leverage and range to reach the outside, doing a nice job of avoiding blocks in attempts to shut down the cutback lanes…Can turn and run with good change of direction agility and is a hard hitter who explodes behind his tackles…Has the vision, awareness and turning ability to stay with tight ends and backs in pass routes…Effective when planting and driving out of his breaks, flying to the ball instantly, showing the hip flexibility and control to stay tight on the hip of the receiver…Has the natural hands to reach and pluck the ball away from the body's frame…Has a great initial burst on returns, showing the ability to twist and adjust in attempts to squeeze through tight quarters to gain valid yardage on kickoffs… Has outstanding leaping ability and timing to knock down kicks at the line of scrimmage.
In two junior college seasons, Dixon registered 240 tackles (158 solos) with 14.5 sacks for minus 96 yards and 60 stops for losses of 207 yards. He blocked ten kicks, intercepted three passes and caused five fumbles.
Just a couple of opinions I came across.

i'm a firm believer in highly weighing intelligence when evaluating talent. football is not a simple game and, at least, some intelligence is necessary to understand the game at these levels.
