Heading into fall camp, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was admittedly in wait-and-see mode with newcomer Lyn-J Dixon.
However, after just three practices, including one in shells on Monday, Swinney has seen enough to be highly impressed with the talented true freshman running back.
“I wanted to hold judgement until I saw him in pads and saw just how he was going to respond over there in inside (drills) with Dexter (Lawrence) and Christian (Wilkins) and those cats, and he didn’t back down,” Swinney said after Monday’s practice. “He’s got some bite to him. So, I’m really encouraged with him.
