Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Dawkins is a safety who primarily lined up as an outside linebacker for his team this past season. His highlights show his skill set and instincts, which makes me confident that he can transition to a strong safety position when his time comes. Dawkins’s highlights are filled with high-impact plays that show his ability to diagnose and attack quickly. In coverage, he shows strong awareness and ball skills (e.g., his two interceptions – one where he undercuts a curl route while in zone coverage and another where he catches a tipped pass). I like Dawkins’s ability to recognize plays early, as shown in his highlights, where he makes tackles behind the line of scrimmage on both screen and swing passes. He plays with an edge and disciplined aggression. Dawkins is comfortable playing near the line of scrimmage and is a consistent tackler. There are a couple of plays that indicate he’s a legitimate threat as a pass rusher as well. The most significant question mark right now is his pass coverage, and that’s only because he projects as a safety at the next level. I’m sure those answers will be provided sooner than later as his career develops.
