Quietly Emerging Bruins-Style RB Energy at The Citadel
In the 2025 season, Malachi Dixon is listed as a freshman running back for The Citadel at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, but public stat sheets show no available game statistics yet, which makes him more of a projection than a proven production piece right now.[1][4][5] What stands out is the frame: compact enough to handle contact, athletic enough to fit a physical Southern Conference run game, and young enough to develop into a dependable downhill option if he earns touches. If you need immediate résumé fireworks, he’s not there yet; if you want a moldable back with upside and fresh legs, he’s intriguing.[1][4][5]
