Miss. St.'s Deshun Dixon arrested on drunk-driving charge

With another weekend in the books, another college football player has gotten the proverbial book thrown at him.

The Starkville Daily News is reporting that Mississippi State’s Deshun Dixon was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence. The arrest occurred very early Sunday morning, although no further details have been made available.

MSU’s only comment on the development is no comment.

Dixon, the younger brother of MSU all-time leading rusher Anthony Dixon, spent three years playing minor league baseball (2010-12) before joining the Bulldogs as a walk-on this spring. He’s currently listed as a freshman “athlete” on the program’s online roster.

In addition to Anthony Dixon, Deshun Dixon is also the brother of current MSU tight end Rashun Dixon. That particular Dixon spent six years playing minor league baseball before joining the Bulldogs last July.
