Two former Washington football players have drawn attention for accumulating numerous speeding tickets and driving infractions. Khmori House and Thaddeus Dixon, who played for UW in 2024 before transferring to North Carolina to follow former Husky defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, have accumulated 18 total charges spread out across nine incidents according to court documents acquired by The Seattle Times.
WRAL, a television station in Raleigh, N.C., first reported the citations as part of a wider investigation into the driving habits of North Carolina’s football program Monday.
Dixon, a fifth-year cornerback who spent two seasons at UW, was cited for speeding four times dating back to Feb. 11 and most recently Nov. 13. He’s also been cited for reckless driving with wanton disregard for the safety of people and property once, operating a vehicle without insurance once, operating a vehicle with expired registration once and driving with a revoked license once.
A Los Angeles native who was All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2024 by the conference’s coaches, Dixon was cited once for driving five miles per hour over the speed limit on May 27, 2024, in King County while playing for the Huskies, according to court documents acquired by The Times.
House, a sophomore linebacker from Pasadena, Calif., was cited for speeding five times since Feb. 18 in North Carolina. He was cited for reckless driving with wanton disregard four times and driving with expired registration once. His most recent citation happened Oct. 19. House had not been cited for speeding in King County in 2024.

It’s been a difficult year at North Carolina, which hired longtime NFL coach and eight-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick before the season. The Tar Heels are 4-6 overall and 2-4 in ACC play — 13th in the conference. North Carolina’s only ACC wins have come against Syracuse and Stanford.
The Tar Heels also suspended cornerbacks coach Armond Hawkins, UW’s former defensive analyst and assistant director of recruiting, on Oct. 9 for violating NCAA rules tied to impermissible benefits. Hawkins reportedly gave sideline passes to Dixon’s family, according to a WRAL story that published Oct. 6. Hawkins was reinstated on Oct. 21.

I hope both are forced to transfer back to UW after these travesties.
