5. Lyn-J Dixon

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a big-time Lyn-J Dixon run.

Dixon is one of the most explosive running backs in the ACC, but he hasn’t had as many opportunities to carry the ball as of late.

He’s done an excellent job in pass-protection and is averaging 6.4 yards per carry, but hasn’t had a long touchdown run in quite some time.

Look for him to break off a big one this Saturday. Dixon is poised for a breakout performance to get the national analysts talking and this could very well be it for him.
