Lyn-J Dixon News, Rumors, Updates - Tennessee Volunteers | FOX Sports

On move again Dixon left the Tennessee program Sunday and could be headed back into the transfer portal, Griffin McVeigh of On3.com reports.

Impact Dixon's stay in Knoxville lasted just three weeks, as he joined the program earlier this month following his transfer from West Virginia. The running back took part in only a handful of practices and battled an ankle injury during camp before he ultimately decided to move on from the Volunteers. Dixon has now left two programs without ever playing, as he had previously transferred to West Virginia late in 2021 before moving on from Morgantown over the summer. He previously spent four years at Clemson, compiling 1,420 yards and 13 touchdowns on 218 career carries while adding 20 receptions. If Dixon decides to keep his college career going and opts to transfer, he may struggle to catch on elsewhere before the 2022 campaign begins.

Suffers minor ankle injury Dixon missed Tuesday's practice with a minor ankle injury but is expected to be back on the field Wednesday, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Dixon tweaked his ankle, but the team is not worried that it is an injury that will keep him off the field for long. Tennessee is trying to get the former Tiger and Mountaineer as many reps as possible ahead of the 2022 season, but in the meantime Dixon will focus on strength and conditioning work.

Eligible for 2022 season Dixon will be eligible to participate in the 2022 season, Mike Wilson of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

Impact After transferring to Tennessee in the beginning of August, Dixon has been granted eligibility to participate in his fifth and final season of college football. After four season at Clemson the running back had committed to West Virginia soon after the 2021 season concluded. He spent most of spring practicing with the Mountaineers before re-entering the transfer portal, but he can officially play with the Volunteers in 2022. Dixon's productivity has decreased the past two years, but will look to perform similarly to his sophomore year where he rushed for 635 yards and six touchdowns.

Returns to transfer portal Dixon has entered the transfer portal after previously committing to West Virginia, Matt Zenitz of On3.com reports.

Impact Dixon, a former Clemson running back and West Virginia commit, has entered the transfer portal once again this offseason. In his four season with the Tigers, Dixon ran for 1,420 yards and 12 touchdowns. His best seasons came in 2018 and 2019 where he rushed for a combined 1,182 yards, but he has since slowed down his productivity. He will look to end his career with higher numbers in his fifth season with a new team.

Showing speed in spring practice Dixon (not injury related) has demonstrated his big-play ability in spring practice, Sam Coniglio of Gold and Blue Nation reports.

Impact The Clemson transfer adds some blue-chip talent to West Virginia's backfield. However, Dixon will have to continue impressing the coaching staff in order to carve out a role in a deep backfield group headlined by Tony Mathis and Justin Johnson.

Rushes only 10 yards in loss Dixon rushed once for 10 yards in Saturday's 10-3 loss to Georgia.

Impact Clemson's rushing game was at a historic low, recording only two total yards of rising offense once Uiagalelei's sacks were included. While the team began with Kobe Pace and Will Shipley, Pace left the game with an injury, and Dixon's sole run of 10 yards was the only positive burst of rushing offense for the Tigers. It's a bit confounding that the Tigers chose youth over experience at the position, and it remains to be seen if Dixon will see the kind of usage he deserves.

Co-starter for Week 1 Dixon is listed as Clemson's co-starter for Week 1 against Georgia, Jon Blau of The Bloomington Herald-Times reports.

Impact It appears that he and Kobe Pace will get the majority of the workload out of the backfield to begin the season. The senior rushed for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries last season. As a sophomore, Dixon racked up 635 rushing yards and added 121 yards on 14 receptions.
