Dillon also holds offers from Iowa, Boston College and Virginia. Moreover, Dillon's grandfather was Notre Dame star Thom Gatewood.
"I launched a PR campaign while I was there," Gatewood said, "making a connection with the coaches that I have a grandson and I'd love for them to go online and look at his footage. 'He doesn't have my last name, so you're not going to know he's my grandson. So I'm going to tell you: A.J. Dillon. A.J. Dillon. A.J. Dillon. People are going to be recruiting him, and you should be on the list.'
"I'm not only a big, third-down back," Dillon said. "I may be 6 feet and 230 pounds, but I can still move. I'm working on my footwork, because in my film, there aren't many jukes. Normally I just run people over if they're in my way. But I'm working on that to add another dimension to my style."
It's also worth noting, his head coach is a Boston College alumn.
Congrats to Lawrence Academy JR RB, AJ Dillon, on another Power 5 scholarship offer. Virginia Tech is an amazing place to play football!— Paul Zukauskas (@zukie66) January 13, 2016
