Riley Dixon story

Riley Dixon built his college career from 2011 through 2015 as a punter from Blossvale, NY wearing No. 92, spending time with Syracuse.

His largest box-score season came in 2014 with Syracuse. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. His career also includes 54 rushing yards, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot.
