Clemson coach Dabo Swinney on Monday revealed his most experienced running back plans to enter the transfer portal.

During his weekly press conference Tuesday, Swinney further commented on Lyn-J Dixon’s decision.

“It was his decision.  He wanted to get an early start on the portal.  I wish him luck,” said Swinney.

Coach Swinney said Dixon’s decision to enter the portal this week was not expected.

“Yeah I was surprised,” Swinney said. “It is 2021 so I guess nobody should be surprised. That is kind of where we are. I highly doubt in 2021 that we are the only team that has had somebody go in the portal.”
