Clemson running back Lyn-J Dixon has quietly gone about his business in camp this year. The Butler, Georgia native is still making plays and breaking off long runs, but those are things that are expected from the 5-foot-10, 200-pound running back.
Clemson co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott knows Dixon can run the football, but what he has wanted to see from his sophomore running back is an improvement in pass protection, reading defenses and understanding the offense a little more.
“Everything has been going smooth in this camp. Last year, I was just getting to learn the plays and getting to know the structure,” he said.
