CLEMSON – Travis Etienne entered August camp as one of the frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy, and freshmen Chez Mellusi and Mikey Dukes have drawn attention for their early play. Meanwhile, sophomore Lyn-J Dixon just goes about his business.
Dixon was the Tigers’ fourth-string running back last season but enters 2019 as Etienne’s backup after a freshman campaign that saw him gain 547 yards and five touchdowns on 62 rushing attempts. Dixon has had a quiet call camp, and that’s a good thing according to co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott.
