About Dawson
Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Boysel made a huge impact in his first year as a varsity starter for Western Alamance, with not only 96 total tackles, but quality stops, with 15 for loss. He was an anchor in the middle of a strong run defense, but also showed great ball production. He picked off two passes and had two fumble recoveries last year.

Read EvaluationWill Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
A true middle linebacker in the midst of a class that has far more outside backers, Boysel stands out for his ability to simply make plays. He plays close to the line of scrimmage, but rarely gets stuck in the wash, and has the speed and zone awareness to get plenty of depth in his drops. He had two picks, three sacks, and three fumble recoveries in 2025, and he’ll look to add some weight heading into his senior season, which should help him improve his stock.

Read EvaluationMatt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
Dawson didn’t come into this showcase with a lot of notoriety or fanfare, but I think Dawson really did well in all three elements of this showcase, which got him into this Top 5 recognition. I liked him a lot in the individual period, where he took coaching well and did an excellent job of executing fundamentals. He’s a player who has probably played his way onto our wait list heading into his senior season.
