By field or by mat it doesn't matter, leaders lead. That's all that Joe Dixon does.

The Niagara Falls native has found a home on Delaware Avenue, helping Canisius football win its first Catholic state title since 2016 in the fall. "JoJo" hasn't stopped there though; the junior has dominated the wrestling scene this season, compiling a 36-3 record in the 160- and 170-pound weight classes.

Wrestling coach David Wilcox said it's been phenomenal working with Dixon this season, calling him a very bright kid and a great asset to the team because of his leadership and talents. But it's the intangible qualities about Dixon that have stood out most to Wilcox.
