With Travis Etienne sidelined after getting banged up in a recent practice, Clemson running back Lyn-J Dixon shined during the Tigers’ first scrimmage of fall camp this past Saturday at Death Valley.
Dixon, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound junior, had a “really, really good day” according to Dabo Swinney.
“Really proud of him,” Clemson’s head coach said.
Dixon, who decided to return to Clemson for this season despite Etienne’s decision to come back for his senior year, looks like a different player in the eyes of offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott.
