Nat Dixon made a leap of faith when he decided to walk away from a football scholarship at an Atlantic Coast Conference program and go back to his first love, basketball.
He made another leap recently and hopes this one is just as beneficial.
The 6-foot-5 Dixon recently decided to continue his basketball career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, becoming the program’s fourth commitment for the 2016-17 season.
“I chose UTC because it was just where I feel comfortable and trust the coaching staff 100 percent,” Dixon said.
The spring signing period begins Wednesday and ends on May 18.
