Elliott says it is time for Etienne, Dixon to be locked in

Clemson running backs Travis Etienne and Lyn-J Dixon are all business after the departure of Tavien Feaster this past spring.

Feaster opted to transfer upon graduation after spring practice. The former 5-star recruit and Spartanburg (S.C.) High School graduate is deciding between South Carolina and Virginia Tech soon.

Feaster’s experience in the Clemson program made him a leader in the running back room and in his absence Etienne and Dixon have an increased responsibility to lead the younger backs.

Co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was surprised by the timing of Feaster’s decision but believes he is doing what is right for him and is supportive of his former player.
