The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday that running back Lyn-J Dixon has earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for his contributions in Clemson’s 63-3 win against Wake Forest on Saturday.
With Dixon’s selection, Clemson has now collected a total of 449 ACC weekly honors since 1978. The conference honor is the first of Dixon’s career and is the second ACC Rookie of the Week selection for Clemson this season, joining quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s selection after a win against Georgia Tech.
Last week, Dixon recorded career highs in rushing attempts (10) and rushing yards (163) and scored the first two rushing touchdowns of his career on runs of 65 and 52 yards in the second half.
