CLEMSON – Tony Elliott’s job is to get running back Lyn-J Dixon prepared for the rigors of a college football season, and the former 4-star made a good first impression in last Friday’s camp-opening practice.
Dixon was the lone running back signee for the Tigers in the 2018 recruiting class, a former 4-star out of Butler County (GA) Taylor that scored 73 touchdowns in his high school career. Wearing the No. 23 worn recently by Andre Ellington, Dixon made sure Elliott took notice.
"Today validated what I thought I saw on tape when we evaluated him,” Elliott said.
