Rutgers adds JUCO defensive help as hybrid Malik Dixon commits to Scarlet Knights

You win some and you lose some.

Rutgers did both Friday, first losing out on Georgia linebacker Jayden McDonald, who decommitted after being committed since the summer. But just minutes later, it seems, the staff added a pledge is 6-4, 215-pound post-graduate Malik Dixon, who has two years of eligibility remaining, following a stint at USF and junior college stints Itawamba Community College (Fulton, Miss.) and Eastern Arizona Community College (Thatcher, Az.), where he played this season.

Dixon will report to Rutgers in the spring and hopes to bring immediate relief to Rutgers' secondary depth issues.
