He has okay size, thick body. Has quickness and decent speed. They call him ‘Touchdown Teddy’ who scored four times, including a 49 and 31-yard touchdown. Last night marked over 3,000 career rushing yards. &nbsp; Hampton - <strong>Dawson Dietz</strong> (SR), Defensive Tackle 6’0 245: Dawson showed to be disruptive in the backfield, with good get off and quick off blocks.
