Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, a 6-foot-11 newcomer to the men’s basketball team, has committed to play next season with Auburn University of the Southeastern Conference. Dixon-Tatum comes to CTC via Division II Grand Valley State, where he led his conference, the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, with 59 blocks in the 2010-11 season.

The sophomore center, originally from Anderson, Ind., impressed visiting scouts at the Oct. 9 CB Jamboree showcase in Columbus, Ga. Dixon-Tatum tallied 10 blocks in a single contest against Chipola Community College (Fla.) at the event held at Columbus State University. He committed to Auburn head coach Tony Barbee on Saturday, Oct. 15 while on a recruiting visit to the campus.

Dixon-Tatum will compete for the Golden Eagles for the remainder of the 2011-12 season and plans to join Auburn after the conclusion of this academic year.
