Dawson Rivers is a disruptive, stat-sheet-stuffing DL for Norfolk State
In the 2024 season, Dawson Rivers gave Norfolk State real frontline juice: 13 tackles, two pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 11 games, plus a start, which hints at a defender who finds the ball and finishes plays with a little chaos baked in. He’s a 6-foot-2, 275-pound lineman with production that goes beyond the box score, and he was recognized on Norfolk State’s honor roll—so the motor and the academics both travel well. If you want an active, versatile interior piece who creates turnovers and plays with edge, he’s worth a serious look.
