IRVINE, Calif.-- UC Irvine men's basketball is excited to announce the signing of Jurian Dixon to their Fall 2023 recruiting class.
 
Dixon hails from San Diego, Calif., putting together an accomplished career at St. Augustine High School under Coach Mike Haupt. The 6'5" guard averaged 18 points, six rebounds, and four assists in his senior campaign, helping lead his squad to a No. 5 ranking in the state of California.
 
Dixon earned himself CIF Player of the Year and First Team All-State honors in 2023.
