Can Michigan pull a speedy skill position player out of a powerhouse high school in Southern California?

Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei tends to be known as something of a USC-feeder school, as seemingly most of the top prospects at the high-end high school tend to be Trojans. The same is certainly possible for 2021 four-star wide receiver Cristian Dixon, who released his Top 8 on Wednesday, including the flagship SoCal college.

But the Wolverines, led by offensive coordinator Josh Gattis also made the cut for the nation’s No. 176 prospect, according tot eh 247Sports Composite, putting the maize and blue within striking range to receiving Dixon’s services.

However, given that powerhouses such as LSU and Oregon, as well as Cal, Washington State, Nebraska and Texas A&M are involved, it’ll still be a tough pull to get Dixon to come to Ann Arbor from the West Coast.

According to 247Sports, Dixon is 6-foot-2, 187-pounds and ran a 4.63 40-yard dash at The Opening Regional.
