This vid answers all the questions raised in this thread and provides even better info.
Kid was a 4* elite RB recruit out of GA offered by Tenn first after his first college camp then quickly offered by GA, BAMA, OK, CLEM and other elite programs.
He was earmarked to be the next elite CLEM RB successor to Etienne until Etienne tanked Dixon by suddenly bypassing the NFL draft. Everything for Dixon pretty much fell apart from there. He went from being the anointed successor ready for his breakout year to riding the bench. CLEM coaches were surprised he didn’t transfer but Dixon tried to stick it out.
Dixon has played and contributed in the CFB playoffs and also suited up for NC games. His fortunes sunk along with CLEM’s 2021 season.
Don’t yet know why he left WVA for us but I’m damn glad he did.
If he can find a real home here under Heup then Dixon is bigger faster stronger and better than any RB on our roster period. He’s got serious NFL potential and he’ll need a monster year or two at TENN to get there. So he should come in HUNGRY he’s got everything to gain and nothing to lose atp.
HUGE GET
