Dixon also is the second safety in the class, joining Tavoy Feagin of Tampa, Florida. Feagin was the Tigers’ first commit of 2024, declaring his intent on Nov. 20, 2022.
All five of Clemson’s 2024 commits are rated as four-star players according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Dixon, a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder out of Troup County High School, is rated the No. 30 player overall from Georgia, the No. 195 recruit overall nationwide and the 16th-best safety. He was recruited by Clemson safeties coach Mickey Conn.
Dixon chose the Tigers over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Texas A&M, among others.
"Recruitment 100% closed," Dixon posted on his Twitter account.
Clemson’s 26 high school signees in the Class of 2023 included 11 from Georgia, which since 2016 has produced 45 Clemson signees – the most of any state.
