One has ‘NFL numbers.’ The other has ‘lockdown’ potential. What USC got in new DBs

Will Muschamp’s camp evaluations led to the defensive back additions in South Carolina’s 2019 recruiting class.

Johnny Dixon, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound three-star prospect from Florida, has been hampered by injuries the past couple seasons at Chamberlain High School. It’s limited his production, but not his potential.

Muschamp has long kept note of Dixon’s value at full strength. The USC head coach saw it first-hand in Columbia.

“Two years ago, we had John in camp and we felt like he was one of the best cover corners that we’ve seen in our camps,” Muschamp said.
