A Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei player with a USC offer is almost certainly a lock to become a Trojan. However, as typical of a scenario as that might be, it’s not a certified science.
Or, at least, that’s the hope of the Michigan contingent.
The Wolverines already have one receiver committed in the 2021 class in Clayton (OH) Northmont three-star Markus Allen, but it’s been in high-pursuit of a couple prospects on the West Coast. And one looks to be trending towards the maize and blue.
Cristian Dixon is a four-star wideout from Mater Dei, standing at 6-foot-2 and 187-pounds. Rated the No. 166 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite and the No. 30 wide receiver in 2021, Dixon runs a reported 4.63 40-yard dash and has offers from USC, LSU, Oregon, Auburn, Notre Dame, Nebraska and many others. But, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball, all indications show he should end up a Wolverine, with two new predictions coming in on Wednesday morning, meaning eight prognosticators have put in their picks now, all indicating Michigan.

Dixon released a Top 8 in April which included the Wolverines as well as Cal, Nebraska, Oregon, LSU, Texas A&M, Washington State and USC.
As of now, it’s unknown when he intends to make his college choice. Josh Gattis is leading the charge for the maize and blue in his recruitment.
