Dallas Turner, a sophomore linebacker, posted a video to Instagram of Clinton-Dix getting tossed into the cold tub. He played at Alabama from 2011 to 2013, winning two BCS National Championships in 2011 and 2012. As a former five-star from Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Fla., Clinton-Dix made first-team All-SEC and Consensus All-American in 2013. After posting four interceptions in 2012 (shared the team lead), he tied for the team lead with two picks in 2013. Clinton-Dix had four pass breakups to go with 51 total tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. He assisted the Tide to a Southeastern Conference Championship in 2012.
