About Dixon Updated Sep 10, 2026

Illinois captain Collin Dixon is emerging as a reliable WR1 contender in 2026

Collin Dixon, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior and one of Illinois’ 2026 team captains, looks like the kind of receiver coaches trust: experienced, physical, and ascending after a 2025 season with 35 catches for 548 yards and 5 touchdowns, plus 2026 early production that includes 6 catches for 70 yards and 2 scores. He’s not just a box-score guy either—reports describe him as a strong candidate to lead the Illini receiving room and a fit to become QB Katin Houser’s top target, which says a lot about his route-running, consistency, and competitive edge.
