There is no question who Clemson’s best running back is heading into the 2019 season.
Travis Etienne is the reigning ACC Player of the Year and many believe he has an opportunity to be a true Heisman Trophy contender.
Clemson’s second team running back is Lyn-J Dixon. The Butler, Georgia native burst on the scene last season by rushing for 547 yards and 5 touchdowns for the Tigers. He averaged a team-best 8.8 yards per carry.
However, after Dixon, the waters are a little cloudy at running back. Right now, three guys are battling it out for carries as running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott tries to figure out who his third and fourth string running backs are going to be.
