Tennessee just suffered another big loss after defeat to South Carolina

That is brutal.

Four-star all-purpose back Lyn-J Dixon committed to Tennessee back in June after a visit and it seems the Volunteers' 15-9 loss to South Carolina might have been the final straw in his commitment. He tweeted out that he has opened his recruitment again:

Coach Butch Jones is very much on the hot seat and Dixon could very well be trying to read what's written on the wall concerning Jones and his staff's shaky tenure in Knoxville. He is ranked as the No. 6 APB in the class of 2018 as well as the No. 30 recruit in the state of Georgia according to 247Sports.

The 5-foot-11, 178-pound back also has offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan and Oklahoma among others.
