Lyn-J Dixon arrived at Clemson in the summer of 2018 with plenty of talented running backs in front of him, including Travis Etienne and Tavien Feaster.
But the Georgia native wasn’t content with sitting on the bench for most of his freshman season and waiting for opportunities to come in 2019 and beyond.
Dixon made it his goal to help the Tigers as a true freshman in 2018, and the speedy back did just that, rushing for 547 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games as Clemson won its second national title in three years.
