CLEMSON — Changing positions in the middle of your collegiate career is never easy, and that is the challenge Markus Dixon is currently facing.
After being recruited as a tight end and spending his first two seasons playing that position, Dixon made the move to defensive end ahead of spring practice. Fortunately, the concept isn’t all that foreign, seeing as Dixon did play some end at the high school level.
However, there is a lot more that goes into playing end at the collegiate level, and Chris Rumph immediately put Dixon’s feet to the fire after he made the switch.
