A career afternoon at Maine Maritime has earned Jahmir Dixon his first NEWMAC weekly honor.

Dixon has been named the conference’s Offensive Athlete of the Week after hauling in 11 receptions for 228 yards and a touchdown in Norwich’s 28-7 victory over the Mariners on Saturday.

His 47-yard touchdown broke a scoreless tie early in the second quarter, while receptions of 27 and 42 yards on consecutive plays helped Norwich answer after Maine Maritime pulled within seven late in the third.

Dixon accounted for more than 80 percent of Norwich’s 283 passing yards and now leads the Cadets with 36 receptions for 504 yards and three touchdowns through five games.

The honor makes Dixon Norwich’s first NEWMAC Offensive Athlete of the Week since Trevor Chase on Oct. 4, 2021, and the sixth Cadet to receive the award since joining the conference in 2017.

He joins Harry Ells as Norwich football’s two NEWMAC Athlete of the Week selections this season.
