Freshman Tight End Jakob Dixon Leaves the Kentucky Football Team

Only a few weeks after moving into the UK dorms, a freshman tight end is packing his bags. Jakob Dixon is leaving the Kentucky football team before ever suiting up to practice for the Wildcats.

KSR can confirm the news Justin Rowland had first on Cats Illustrated.

A product Louisville’s Pleasure Ridge Park High School, Jakob Dixon was an under the radar prospect when he camped at Kentucky last summer. Typically involved in basketball and track and field during camp season, he blew away the Kentucky coaching staff with impressive test results.
