  In 2021, Terrance Dixon earned the unique distinction of becoming the first Georgia State player to wear jersey No. 0. When an NCAA rule change made 0 a legal number legal for the first time, that jersey was coveted, and Coach Elliott elected to award it to the player who best exemplified doing everything the "right way," on the field and off. Although "Lil T" is one of the smallest players on the team at 5-7 and 170 pounds, Dixon is a productive force on the GSU offense. He was fourth on the team with 19 receptions for 215 yards, along with nine rushes for 88 yards.

He saved his best game for Georgia Southern with seven caches for a career-best 77 yards, including two crucial catches on the winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Dixon is a former walk-on who was awarded a scholarship prior to the 2019 season, when he originally earned his starting berth. He had a breakout game in the Panthers' win over Furman with eight catches for 68 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half, but suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half. The Columbus, Ga., native is scheduled to earn his degree this summer before playing his final season. - Georgia State Football
