Bryant’s tackling-machine linebacker who set the tone from the middle
Aaron Dixon is best known for being a high-volume, high-motor linebacker who piled up 149 career tackles by the end of his final Bryant season in 2015, including 43 tackles, 2 sacks, and 6 tackles for loss in that season. He’s the kind of defender coaches love: reliable, durable, and physical, with the leadership chops of a senior captain and the resume of a player who appeared in all 34 games over his career before that final year. If you want a linebacker who brings intensity, instincts, and no-quit energy, Dixon fits the mold beautifully.
