What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?

I’ve been playing football since I can remember and I’ve loved the game since the first time I stepped on the field 

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

I have a good amount of favorites but one in particular would be in 2021 when we beat Wisconsin to win the axe and the fans stormed the field. 

What are you looking to achieve as a football player going forward?

Winning a Super Bowl.

If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day, who and why?

Sean Taylor because I love the way he played the game.

Which one of your family members inspires you the most and why?

My mom inspires me everyday to keep going and keep God first.

What is your favorite defensive scheme and why?

I like the exotic simulated pressures on 3rd down because they usually confuse quarterbacks.

What should we know about Flip Dixon the person?

I would say that I’m a humble guy who loves to live life. I have a passion for sports, fishing, and fashion. I may come off as quiet to those who don’t know me.

What stands out about your film the most?

I’m active. If you watch any game from when I was healthy you’ll see me all over the field making plays.

How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

Challenges are going to come no matter what so when I’m facing adversity I pray and keep my faith in God and know that tough times don’t last forever.

What would a team get in a player like you?

They’re getting a smart, dependable player. A leader on and off the field and someone who loves the game of football.

What do you love the most about the game of football?

The journey is what I love most.

Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?

Brendan Jackson, he’s been doubted since we were in high school but he’s proved himself on 3 different levels of college football
