On Friday, the day he turned 18, four-star sharpshooting combo guard Derek Dixon became Coach Hubert Davis’ first Class of 2025 commitment, making the announcement at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C.
Dixon, a 6–3, 215-pound rising senior at Gonzaga, is 51st in the Class of 2025. Dixon made his official UNC visit Sept. 6–8 after Davis offered him a scholarship on May 20.
“Coach Davis, just spending time with him on a visit, talking over the phone, you can just see how genuine of a person that he is, and you know how he’s a great person to spend time with and learn from,” Dixon said on the 247 YouTube channel when he announced his commitment. “The rest of the staff, I felt the love. I felt a priority for them, which is something that was really big for me, and I felt like I fit what they were doing. And there was an opportunity for me there.”
