I cant wait to watch Dixon at West Virginia... Who should I do next?
I think that’s a great place for him 💯 it should be interesting to see him there
Missouri season recap and where to go from the loss to Arkansas such a interesting situation at mizzou right now
QB situation in particular
@@ScottFisherCFB exactly with bazelak,cook,macon, and eventually sam horn
Guess he liked teams with orange uniforms
He's offically a Vol now. Hope Josh can tap his potential. GBO
AMEN.. that's why I'm here.. little research..lol
Go Vols
As a Clemson fan this hits hard just like this season 😔
Clemson fan here, was sad to see him transfer. Especially, when each week’s injury report would have over 20 guys listed as out. Glad to see Shipley get more time because of this though. Best of luck to Dixon and hope he can make a career for himself at the next level.
I've known this young man since 8th grade. He is a really good person with a good heart. The young man was promised the starting position going into his senior year. However Coach Elliot move from RB coach to OC. In comes CJ Spiller and decides to have open competition at RB once they signed Wil Shipley. His touches and the way he was used declined almost immediately going into spring camp. He transferred to get a fair shot and show what he can do as a primary RB.
As a Clemson fan, I’m really excited to see what Dixon will do at WVU. He helped us in so many ways during the TLaw period. I just hope he can turn his performance around and get back to dominating.
As a mountaineer fan I hope so too lol
Clemson guy here. I’m pulling for him
Cool to see other fanbases rooting for guys that transfer out. I always want to see our guys flourish that transfer out.
I want Dixon to be the best man and player he can reach
THIS AGED TREMENDOUSLY
I really like how he threw in the “please respect my decision “ at the end of his decommitment tweet.
Why do you like that?
Keep up the great work! I'm a unh fan and I know that Rhode island has as qb by the name of Kasim hill. He has a great story as he's transferred like 3 times and he's a absolute freak. A man among boys. He's be a great story to cover
As a WVU fan, I am excited to see how he can contribute to the running game. Mathis started coming on strong as a back up to Brown. So he’ll have to earn it. But Dixon looks really good, especially catching the ball out of the back field and making people miss. Welcome aboard.
I look for Dixon and Mathis to be a great one two combo but this time Dixon will be the focal point 🙏💯
Really excited for this guy to come to Morgantown! Leddie was a good between the tackle runner, but we haven't had a truly explosive back for a little bit now!
To be fair to leddie our line wasn’t all that great
I'm a Clemson fan & won't speculate as to what may have happened. I enjoyed watching Lyn-J & wish him the best in WVA. Dude can ball!!
Ready to see this kid have success at Tennessee, great coaching staff and program to help him turn around his story.
Seems like his 'story' can't be turned around.
Never separated himself in the spring and he didn’t show enough when he did play this year. We are set at RB. I wish him all the luck at WVU.
I always enjoyed LJD with those incredible runs he had. I can only wish him the best. I think with Clemson recruiting Shipley, he knew that he would not be the #1 even after waiting until ETN left. IMO, I think he should have transferred earlier when he first thought about it. Not sure why he changed his mind and waited another season. Proud of Chez too. Chez made the right move to transfer, and we sure could have used both of these guys.
Maybe follow up on Chez Mellusi, a 5'11" 204lb junior at UW, splitting time with Braedon Allen, a 6'2" 238lb freshman, who is outperforming Chez based on production. The team itself is interesting, as they looked terrible to start the season, but have turned around their season with the rushing offense and a top 3 defense in the nation.
In fairness, Chez is out until next year on injury and Braelon Allen is 17 years old and a freak of a specimen. On Wisconsin.
Don’t use UW for Wisconsin, everyone thinks ur talking about Washington
Partying in Florida during game week prep for the Georgia game and showing up a couple days late may have found him in the doghouse.
U gotta make an updated one for him now that he at tennessee
As a wvu fan I’m really excited about this pickup! Tony Mathis is a dawg though, hopefully a nice 1-2 punch
Hes gonna light it up @ TN
I honestly said if I were him I would've left for the NFL along with Etienne because his numbers were productive behind Etienne some team would've drafted him. Imma lifelong Clemson fan the first game against Georgia I said how come he not starting I knew it was a bad signed. During the summer kept checking in thinking oh he's first string but rb coach Spiller said pretty much up for grabs and praised the freshmen
Im a Clemson fan and I have always felt bad for Lyn J ... I truly thought he deserved to start this year but I guess it didn't work out and I hate he left but I don't blame him
Sometimes things dont go your way
Welcome to Motown Dixon! Trust the Climb!
Now he's a volunteer go big 🍊🍊
DUDE THIS ONE HURT HE WAS MY FAVORITE..BUT GOOD LUCK TO HIM
Wvu baby
Played against Lyn J in middle school, first time i ever saw a player hurdle someone in person
Can you do a video on Chris claybrooks from the jags
Go big orange 😉
Clearly you have no clue what you’re commenting on. Clemson coaches (coach spiller and coach Elliot) and players (will Shipley) have all said Dixon was being a problem/ cancer in the room bc he felt entitled to being the starter didn’t earn the job and then became very jealous and toxic in the RB room. No way for a “senior” to carry himself.
Imma lifelong Clemson fan also and heard similar but I said to myself if I were him I would've left for the NFL along with Etienne his numbers were productive enough behind Etienne some team would've drafted him.
Facts
watch the whole vid before you comment this type of stuff
He was on Tennessee campus last weekend
Update He's now at UT..I can't wait to see what he does in CJH offense.
Update he’s gone
@@MindsetHalo 😂😂 yap that was fast!!
Need an update on this guy tf happened
Rocky Top 🍊
I can't and I won't back all these quitters decisions. "I'm changing my mind, I'm decommitting. Please, respect my decision".
Dude, you dont't respect your decisions yourself.
He's a Vol after all!
As a Clemson fan I hope he kills it at WVU. I’m going to vent a bit on this. Dixon stayed even during his Jr year when Etienne had came back. Dabo does players dirty then expects them to stay loyal. Dixon was loyal by staying when he didn’t need to. He was very productive as a back up and proved he was ready to start.
We all know the moment they got Shipley, Dabo pushed Dixon down the depth chart. He does that when he gets a 5 star recruit. Given Dixon’s production he should’ve been the starter and have Shipley, Pace, and Mafah as the back ups. Shit we could’ve won some of the games we lost if, we had Dixon and we ran the ball more. Dabo doesn’t like being proved wrong which is why he never benched DJ and let the other QBs get a start this season.
Dabo did the same with Kelly Bryant who lead us to the playoffs, Dashawn by not benching Cole, and now Dixon. The way Dabo replaced Kelly you’d think he was playing like DJ but he wasn’t. Then Dabo is petty to not delivery the championship ring to Kelly when Dabo know that was Kelly’s last year of eligibility if he didn’t transfer. Kelly was trying to make it to the NFL and he was technically going to use his last year if he didn’t transfer and T Law had time. Dabo expected Kelly to be a back up as a senior essential when Kelly balled the season before. TLaw could’ve been the back up for the season and let Kelly ball again. Honestly Kelly would be playing today as Clemson would’ve been a perfect platform.
Dabo sucks at making adjustments, just like he does with his stubbornness over his coaching decisions and that’s been our Achilles heel. Any game where the game plan doesn’t work we lose. All in all though I really do hope Dixon balls in WVU and gets to the NFL.
Great comment!
I thought him and cj spiller couldn’t get alone which made fall on the depth charts
I would disagree with you on the Kelly point. Kelly was doomed after we struggled against Bama in the semi-final. And Trevor Lawrence was a generational talent. Lynn J according to Will Shipley was causing problems in the RB meeting room
Yeah, I’m pretty sure he was disrespecting Spiller listen to Shiply’s interview on DWrenches podcast. Spiller is basically Dabos son so that was a no go for Dixon, don’t matter how good he is. Just what I think happened who knows
You're wrong about everything. Dixon got himself in hot water. Dabo doesn't play the "me first" crap. Doesn't matter how good you are. Same thing happened with Derion Kendrick. Best DB we had at the time. Wanted to go his own way. He was gone. Swinney"s program is successful because of the culture he's built there. Doesn't need to change it for self-centered primadonnas.
Lyn-j situation was unrelated to football. They said he is a good player but fazing him out of the offense because of character concerns is strange. I would be mad too if i was lyn-j I was a productive play maker behind a 1st round RB. I proven myself to be extremely talented and skilled. Then some unproven freshman is my competition? Atleast Bryant and T law battle it out for a couple games to see who is better. But this time dabo just starts Shipley with no in game competition to see who is better. During the Georgia game lyn-j was the only one who broke a long run but was immediately taken out. He kept running Shipley who didn’t break any long runs that game at all. The eye in the sky don’t lie and film shows that Dixon was a way more explosive play maker and deserved to start. Lyn-J was done dirty
As a Clemson fan, it hurts seeing him leave, but Shipley is looking like a beast this season.
As a Clemson fan this didn't hit hard, cause Dixon quit on us cause he was unhappy that freshman who were out working him got his playtime. You can play at Clemson and think i deserve something. You work for it like Pace and Ship did easy. You dont quit when it get tough, you go to work and earn it.
I live 15 minutes from butler and watched him play in high school. He quit on his high school team his senior year because his mother(who showed up his junior year) thought they were playing him too much, she even talked him into faking an injury for over a month. His qb got a scholarship to Troy, so obviously they had a passing game. I honestly don't think this kid has made a decision for himself in years, and has shown he signs of being a quitter. He reminds me a lot of a kid named Lorenzo Smothers from Marion Co ga, he was headed to Georgia southern until his bad advice turned him upside down
Oh wow. Thanks for the insight!
@@ScottFisherCFB thanks for the work you put in, awesome content
I seen him played against my hometown Terrell co
@@henrywalden2395 he was 🔥 no doubt man but I feel like he got caught up in bs and it hurt his mindframe ...and hell yeah TC Greenwave! I played at Sumter Co
@@southbender5676 hy y’all were nice I ran track too y’all had a solid team
He was a beast in high school stayed running all over us
Falling asleep, and not showing up in, film sessions didn’t help him any
What happened with Lyn-J Dixon?
He was garbage and couldn't produce so he got Benched and got mad because Dabo didn't start him so he acted out like a baby and transferred to west Virginia
He ran straight up and side to side, he didn't like to work, and he got on Spiller's bad side.....the other backs were better and he knew it.
Best of luck to Lin j! FCS is still good football!
If you watch West Virginia to see Dixon run with the ball you may not see him.
Enjoy your work. You should look into the Swilling Family Football Dynasty (Georgia Tech).
I will check it out
@@ScottFisherCFB Nice! Pat Swilling was the leader of the NFL'S legendary "Dome Patrol" and Ken was monstrous 255 lbs Free Safety Superstar (college). Darrell Swilling was also an OLB lead Tech's last National Championship Team. I'm not a yellow jacket fan, but they were so much fun to watch growing up. Now Pat's kids are playing on GT's current team.
ettine was the first pick of 2nd rnd
As much as I hate it and despise it the transfer portal is proving to us exactly what happened. Young people are scared of competition. Point blank. He seen the silver lining with Shipley and mafah right behind him and he made the decision that most players are making right now. Which is moving on to somewhere they will start.
Anyone else notice the stretcher in the highlight? 3:09
He got beat out by Will Shipley and Pace
really doesn't matter, Shipley is a true stud, Mafah looks ready to be a 1A.. and, Pace is better than average as well... so- so long Lyn-J. BY!!!
Being a Clemson fan we are more than good without him, I do wish him luck though-- not a hater.
Lyn J was always an issue. He ran upright and couldn’t/wouldn’t block. He lacked the ability to be a teammate and was seen with teammates screaming at him on sidelines during games. Lyn J couldn’t see a hole to save his life and had an uncanny knack to run backwards or laterally more than “north south.” He was also always undersized and had only very good top end speed to pad stats if you didn’t watch him game in and game out he would get nothing on most runs then hit a 30 yarder here and there due to the fact he was never an every down back and came in mostly in late games. He never had the “it factor” he had speed. I wish him the best but he consistently lost out to younger backs for a reason.
Clemson did Lyn J wrong. Elevated Shipley prematurely. Sad to see…
There was some jealously in the locker room. I am not sold on CJ Spiller being the Running backs coach.
What will u do when your coaches leave for OU
Lyn J Dixon should be recognized and I blame Dabo Swinney for his arrogance!
Blame CJ Spiller, the issue was with CJ and Lyn-J’s relationship.
w video
As a Clemson fan, I am excited to see Dixon do big things. But Coaching need to go back to doing just that, coaching. We are seeing clear talent go to waste. Players have the talent, and coaches are there to focus their competitive, aggressive tendencies into a edge above equally talented teams. Why else are coaches there?
I thought this was tavien feaster from the thumbnail
Still can’t believe he went to South Carolina after
@@ScottFisherCFB Why? It was between SC and Clemson on where he would originally commit.
Can someone explain why there are so many de-commits lately? Why not enjoy the recruiting process before committing in the first place?
there have been zero decommits ...so not sure what you talking about unless you mean transfers........
@@andrewayers2149 What I mean by that is a player stating they will go to one school, then deciding to go to another before they enter college.
I got 7 ads during this video SMH
🍊🧡VFL🧡🍊
CJ Spiller is the problem. He’s running off more RBs then keeping them.
Well he has left West Virginia......So where too next,?!
TN VOLS BABY
Dixon= scared to lower his shoulder btwn the tackles. Lyn-J likes to run like a track sprinter. I thank him for being a tiger, but he is no Will Shipley, Kobe Pace, or Bad Mafah. U can't play RB like a track boy
Next Clemson superstar? Naw…but yes he was supposed to be the next man up.
He was an awesome dancer but I wasn’t really impressed on dixon
The QB from Westlake is very good and will really help Clemson. Westlake could beat many colleges so his experience will show from day one. Horns should not have let him get away.
Shut up
@@NeverKnow225 Very articulate.
Eh they got their guy with Ewers so they aren’t worried
@@westtexas7 ok troglodyte
He just transferred again.
Next superstar? He was a 3* recruit out of Georgia.
4****
Good player, but had a poor attitude when he had to compete for the starting job.
I’m sorry dude but you make the most click bait videos. Literally made a video about how hunter helms was the next great Clemson an homie is a 3rd strong qb at best smh
wrong, i talked about how he had made history for a walk on QB and he did.
Definitely didn’t say anything like that did you actually watch the video?
@@ScottFisherCFB thumbnail of the video literally says “The Future” so what is he the future of?
He might have been a cancer. But I feel dabo did him dirty. Shipley wasn’t doing shit first half of the season. Dabo wanted Shipley to be the star. Shipley is not that good and Clemson found that out today
