Favorite sports memory during career?
"The Road to the Final Four and the fat asterisk on our loss. Although it ended terribly in a non-regulation game of mud soccer, being the best team in RPI history can never be taken away from us." - April 2020

From the coaching staff:
"Dillon had a very good career here are RPI but it wasn't always obvious that would be the case. We really liked him when we were recruiting him. His athleticism, size and skill all seemed perfect for our program. However, for some reason the first five days on campus were anything but stellar and we almost cut him. On the sixth day of preseason we traveled to Eastern Connecticut State for a scrimmage. We had been playing Dillon up front, which was his natural position before RPI. However the guys playing in the back that night were struggling so for some reason I threw Dillon out there at right back having never seen him play one minute there. He was fantastic and quickly changed the game. So in the matter of 60 minutes his fate changed. Dillon went on to be a four-year starter for us (and always the first one in the shower after games and practice - inside team joke)." - March 2020

What others say:
"Always showed up to play with a smile on his face. One of the most important players for RPI in 2019." - April 2020 

"He's a great player." - April 2020

"Very fun to be around and a very talented soccer player. Playing three years on the same side of the field as him really help build our chemistry. He makes the game more fun to play." - April 2020 

"Great person to be around and genuinely kind and caring." - April 2020

"I will miss walking in to the locker room to see Dillon bickering with Bonnke. He is a great soccer player." - April 2020
