Dilin Jones earns backfield role in LSU win over Clemson

LSU running back Dilin Jones emerged as a primary offensive contributor during the Tigers' 51-10 victory over Clemson on September 5 in Baton Rouge. Jones recorded 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, providing a physical rushing presence for the LSU offense. This performance followed an offseason period where coaching staff members highlighted his potential. Jones entered the season depth chart behind Harlem Berry and Caden Durham but saw a significant workload against Clemson alongside quarterback Sam Leavitt. The Tigers will monitor whether Jones can maintain his production level as the team moves into Southeastern Conference play. His ability to anchor the running game remains a key variable for the LSU coaching staff as they evaluate their backfield rotation for the remainder of the schedule.
