About Dawson Updated Aug 6, 2026

proven FCS impact back with explosive playoff production

Dawson is a strong fit if you want a physical, efficient running back who has already shown he can carry an offense: in the 2025 season, he rushed for 1,377 yards, averaged 5.0 yards per carry, and finished with four straight 100-yard playoff games, including a 155-yard semifinal effort. Illinois State also named him to the 2026 Walter Payton Award watch list after he emerged as one of the MVFC’s top rushing threats. His appeal goes beyond stats—he has big-play burst, workload durability, and a proven ability to rise in high-leverage games.
