Hughie Dixon brings big-play efficiency to Gardner-Webb’s TE room
Hughie Dixon looks like a useful **field-stretching tight end** for Gardner-Webb, finishing 2024 with **16 catches for 246 yards and 1 touchdown** and posting a strong **15.4 yards per catch**; the school notes he **led the team in yards per catch**, which points to real chunk-play ability rather than just short-area volume.[4][7] His value is his versatility as a seam threat and catch-and-run target, including a **33-yard reception** and other explosive plays, making him a fit for an offense that wants a TE who can threaten defenses vertically and create mismatches.[7]
