WATCH: PRP football's Jakob Dixon goes viral with handoff to lineman for '#ThiccSix' TD
Pleasure Ridge Park senior wide receiver Jakob Dixon spread the wealth during the Panthers' 54-0 victory against Doss on Friday night.
Little did the 2023 Kentucky football commit know, his act of kindness would go viral on Twitter.
With PRP leading 38-0, Dixon caught a pass from quarterback Kayden Anderson in Dragon territory and could have seemingly walked into the end zone for a touchdown. Instead, he handed the ball off to fellow senior Nolan Haley, an offensive lineman who was running down the field next to him, to finish off the play with a score.
"Love my linemen!!!!!!" Dixon wrote in a tweet after the victory.

Video of the play from WHAS-11 photojournalist Todd Prinz has been viewed more than 52,000 times on Twitter as of Saturday evening. It's even been picked up by MaxPreps and the GoJo Show, a podcast hosted by Mike Golic Jr., a former ESPN personality who played offensive line at Notre Dame.

Golic and other football devotees on Twitter love to spotlight touchdowns scored by offensive linemen by using the hashtag "#ThiccSix." The GoJo Show called Dixon's assist to Haley "beautiful," and others chimed in wanting to see this kind of generosity more often on the gridiron.
"Absolutely love to see it," wrote Nick Coffey, who hosts 790 KRD-AM's The Red Zone from 7 to 10 a.m. on weekdays.

Dixon, who caught 33 passes for 663 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior last season, committed to Kentucky on July 10. The 6-foot-4, 197-pound wideout earned a scholarship offer from the Wildcats in June after impressing coaches during a prospects camp held at Kroger Field.
In PRP's 60-0 win against Valley in Week 1, Dixon caught two passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
