Highlights

Dahlene should fit nicely in at outside linebacker at the next level and is a smooth athlete in space with a quick trigger, strong tackling abilities and is not afraid to bang in the box with bigger blockers and backs. He shows quick play recognition, takes good angles in the open field and can knife around perimeter blocks while redirecting quickly and is a very high motor kid. Dahlene had a very productive Sophomore campaign and is poised to breakout during his Junior season and should draw college interest.
