The Lyn-J Dixon experiment at West Virginia lasted several months earlier this year.

His time at Tennessee didn’t last several weeks.

Dixon, who left Clemson for West Virginia last November only to enter the transfer portal again in June, is no longer part of Josh Heupel’s program. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound, fifth-year senior from Butler, Georgia, practiced for the first time with the Volunteers on Aug. 4 but missed multiple workouts last week due to an ankle injury.

Heupel said after the first preseason scrimmage that Dixon was added to the roster to bolster depth at that position following the season-ending injury to redshirt sophomore Len’Neth Whitehead.
