On the eve of National Signing Day, the Longhorns picked up another four-star prospect to add to the 2020 class. Kelvontay Dixon out of Carthage High School in Carthage, TX committed to Texas late Tuesday night.
Listed at 6 feet 2 inches and 180 pounds, Dixon is officially listed as an athlete and is the 15th ranked player at his position. While he does not rank the best nationally at 342, he makes it inside of the top 50 in the state of Texas, coming in at 49th in the state.

Dixon had an outstanding senior season in 2019, recording a 1,000 receiving yard season. Securing 73 catches, he was able to have a total of 1,223 yards and 20 touchdowns. Dixon was also a threat on the ground, rushing for 232 yards and getting into the endzone three times. Winning the 4A-D1 State Championship, Dixon and Carthage High School had a perfect 16-0 season.
Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma State were the only other teams in the Big 12 to offer Dixon, but according to 247, it was a three-team race between Houston, Texas, and UTSA.
Picking up the second wide receiver of the 2020 class as Dixon joins four-star Troy Omeire out of Sugar Land, TX. When Quentin Johnston de-committed from Texas before the early national signing period and went to TCU, it looked like only one wide receiver would come in this year’s class. Now, Dixon adds another four-star prospect to the 9th ranked class.
