Report: Purdue Transfer WR Jayden Dixon-Veal Commits to Cal

Purdue transfer wide receiver Jayden Dixon-Veal has committed to Cal, according to a report on Thursday by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports.

Dixon-Veal, who has one season of eligibility remaining, played in just three games in 2024 in what was called his senior season, and he had three receptions for 23 yards. All of his receiving yards came in the season opener against Indiana State, when he had two of his three receptions for the Boilermakers, who finished the season with a 1-11 record.

Dixon-Veal missed a lot of playing time that season with an undisclosed injury, and was limited during Purdue’s recent spring practices.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Dixon-Veal was a bigger factor as a junior for Purdue in 2023, when he played in 11 games and made five starts.  He caught 16 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown.  He caught four passes for 38 yards against Nebraska and had four catches for 32 yards against Michigan.

Dixon-Veal is from Rancho Cucamonga, California, and began his career at the junior college level at College of San Mateo.
