Transfer RB Lyn-J Dixon committed!

[tbones0711]

Pray he’s in shape

He went thru spring practice at WV and scored a TD in their spring game so I'm thinking he's good to go on the physical side. Gonna have to fast track the mental side. Hope he can block and catch passes out of the backfield.

I agree but I also think that's a fan's point of view.

I think just about anybody who understands football can look at his film and tell pretty easily that he's more talented than Small and Wright.

I mean, I'm not sure they ever see the field at Clemson and he was the second string RB as a true freshman pretty much.

I'd say he looked pretty good in pass pro against UGA. And a nice 10 yard run.

I seen a lot diving at the feet.

He had a good clip of Jordan Davis. He's probably just okay a pass pro. I'm afraid none of our RB's are gonna be great at it. But I think we might use Fant for that some?

Need all the help we can get! Looks like a good get to me

I trust that Coach Heupel knows he's an asset or he wouldn't have offered him a scholly. Dude was a 4 star and recruited by Clemson so he's got the raw talent.

Pretty decent breakdown of his game here:

Cool, picked up a quality free agent.

Welcome Lyn-J Dixon! Great late addition! Might be a difference maker this year at running back! GO VOLS!!!

Scholarships ain't free!

 

[VOLfrombama]

maybe a grad transfer who can use the covid xtra year.........? just guessing

Correct. 2020 didn't count toward eligibility

I don’t really get geeked out about watching a kids highlight clips, but I’m really impressed . He might be the best back in the room now. A couple of those clips showing his ability to bounce it and get to the edge give us something that no one else has on our roster. This might be a game changer.

Wright and Sampson have that ability imo.
Still Dixon has proven it more, and he's a older guy who should be really eager to prove himself because he's running out of chances.

Neither are free agents. I don't think you get it.

Is my memory failing, or did we not recruit this guy heavily a couple years back?

Your memory may be failing, but not in this case. We had him committed until Clemson came along.

Sure did.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Good work by staff to go out and get a SEC ready replacement for Evans. Wasn't Dixon committed to us at one point?

Thanks

Yet another highlight reel. I think this one is the best I’ve seen.

Dear Haters, read this slowly so you comprehend this simple concept...here goes...ready?
The more weapons we have, the better the chance of winning. Coach Hype knows what do with talent, just ask the Hooker!

LOL. Probably is when you lived through the Civil War.

Brick by brick folks!
