Lincoln<\/a>\u2018s director of college recruiting, Jacorey Dixon, is suspended for the first six games of the 2026 high school football season due to two rule violations.

I know who reported me\u2026 hate never outweighs genuine love\u2026 I\u2019m not even mad about the suspension; I\u2019m more disappointed to constantly face criticism and attacks when the bigger picture should be all of us working together to uplift and protect these kids. How can you report something that\u2019s helping a kid better their life? I\u2019m going to keep helping kids get opportunities, keep helping families, and keep standing on what I believe in. I dedicate my time, energy and resources to helping these young men stay focused, stay out of the streets and chase opportunities bigger than their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Dixon\u2019s two violations fall under the FHSAA\u2019s Undue Influence\/Athletic Recruiting\u00a0rules, which is Bylaw 6.3.2<\/a> and reads in its entirety:<\/p>\n \u201cFHSAA Bylaw 6.3.2 defines recruiting as the use of undue influence or special inducement by anyone associated with the school in an attempt to encourage a prospective student to attend or remain at that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics. Athletic recruiting is considered an act of gross unsportsmanlike conduct. Undue influence and special inducement is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school\u2019s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
