Dixon was entering his fourth season at Michigan.
Cristian Dixon came to Michigan as a four-star recruit in the 2021 class, but after hauling in just one catch through three seasons he’s transferring from the program.

Dixon stated in January that he wouldn’t be leaving Michigan but would be switching to defensive back. However, he’s transferring instead and will hope to latch on as a receiver elsewhere.

Dixon transferring away from Michigan doesn’t change their depth chart at wideout or in the secondary. He wasn’t going to receive much playing time. However, what’s imperative is Michigan being proactive in the transfer portal and targeting positions of need such as wideout and depth in the secondary.
