Two-year Washington Huskies standout Thaddeus Dixon is committed to first-year UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-1, 186-pound cornerback revealed his decision to take his talents to Chapel Hill on Saturday afternoon and has one year of eligibility remaining.

There's reportedly still an exit strategy for the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach if the NFL comes calling at the last minute.

Unsurprisingly, Bill Belichick is taking a measured, methodical approach to assembling his inaugural North Carolina and first-ever collegiate coaching staff. He's blending NFL and collegiate experience.
