Dixon’s emergence gives Tigers another weapon in the running game
This time last year, Travis Etienne was the talk of Clemson’s football camp. Whether it was head coach Dabo Swinney, co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott or a defensive player, someone had something to say about the Jennings, La., product.
Flash forward to Saturday’s scrimmage at Death Valley, and now Etienne is one of the people talking. However, he isn’t talking about himself. It’s running back Lyn-J Dixon that has caught everyone’s attention in camp thus far.
The Butler, Ga., native has made one big run after another in the Tigers’ first eight practices of fall camp, including a 50-yard touchdown run in the first stadium scrimmage of fall camp.
