The Citadel’s high-motor linebacker who turned disruptive production into a pro career
In his senior season at The Citadel, Noah Dawkins finished second on the team with 66 tackles and posted 13.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, showing the kind of downhill, backfield-wrecking profile that pops beyond raw tackle totals. He finished his college career with 166 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks, plus two forced fumbles and two interceptions, which says a lot about his instincts and versatility. The big appeal: he’s a physical, instinctive linebacker with proven disruption ability and a track record of production, though by 2026 he’s been playing professionally rather than remaining a college fit.
