Dawson Slaughter is an emerging red-zone weapon for Franklin
In the 2026 season, Dawson Slaughter has already shown up in the big moments for Franklin, catching a touchdown in the win over North Park and adding a 6-yard reception in the Butler game. At 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, he brings compact quickness, reliable hands, and enough toughness to work the middle without playing like a finesse-only receiver. The best fit? A team that wants a smart, opportunistic slot or situational WR who can punish coverage lapses and stay ready when the stakes get loud.
