Upward Thinking: Can Johnnie Dixon Contribute for Ohio State in 2015?

It was a simple sweep around right end for nine yards against an overmatched Kent State team, but the quick burst past the Golden Flash defensive end showed the exact reason Johnnie Dixon caught Urban Meyer's eye at Dwyer High School in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Dixon, a four-star wide receiver and member of the 2014 recruiting class, ran the ball three more times and tallied 20 yards on the ground in his team's 66-0 thrashing of Kent State that day in Ohio Stadium.

It was the last time we saw Dixon in full pads for the Buckeyes during their run at the first ever College Football Playoff National Championship.
