Tennessee landed the commitment of veteran transfer running back Lyn-J Dixon on Wednesday morning. Dixon will serve as a valuable piece to Tennessee's backfield with Len'Neth Whitehead suffering a season-ending injury. Dixon joins starter Jabari Small, sophomore Jaylen Wright and a duo of freshmen backs Dylan Sampson and Justin Williams-Thomas to make up Jerry Mack's running back room. 

Prior to joining Tennessee, Dixon served in a key number two role to Travis Etienne in 2018 and 2019 before taking on a more limited role in 2020 and becoming essentially non-existent in the Tigers' game plan for the first three games of the 2021 season, leading to the Butler, Georgia, native's transfer. 

Dixon transferred to West Virginia in late November but never played a down and ultimately entered the portal again in late June. 

Despite Dixon never taking a lead role in the Clemson backfield during his tenure as a Tiger, the newest member of the Volunteers put together his fair share of highlights. 

A highlight reel from Dixon's productive seasons in 2018 and 2019 at Clemson can be seen below.
