The Spring League is aimed at giving older players a chance to show of skills and perhaps get picked up by an NFL team.
It's gained some traction because of the presence of Heisman Trophy winner and former Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel. If all eyes were on him, an ex-South Carolina Gamecock came swooping into the frame.
Gerald Dixon Jr., who played at USC from 2011-2015, came up the middle to sack Manziel in a game Saturday, one of the league's two contests in Austin that day. He's one of three former Gamecocks playing, along with wide receiver Matrick Belton and offensive lineman Cody Gibson.
