{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Speedy freshman wide receiver Johnnie Dixon will miss the rest of Ohio State's season after surgery on both knees.
Coach Urban Meyer disclosed Dixon's surgery on his weekly call-in radio show on Thursday.
Meyer said Dixon was suffering from tendinitis in both knees, necessitating an operation.

The 5-foot-11, 198-pounder, one of the fastest players on the 22nd-ranked Buckeyes, was considered in the mix at receiver but had not caught a pass.
