Sam Dawson Sam Dawson 6'4" | DL South Oldham | 2026 State KY has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to impress as a senior. He lined up at defensive end where he was very impressive against the run. Dawson is very explosive out of his stance and uses his strength to drive straight through blocks on his way to the ball carrier. Once he gets to the ball carrier, Dawson has proven to be a very reliable tackler in the open field, finishing this past season with 46 tackles and 13 tackles for loss in 11 games. He also finished the year with four sacks. Dawson signed with Louisville where I can see him developing into a key piece of their defensive line unit.
