Personal comments from Dawson--
I am a Top Punter for the class of 2008.
I broke Jason Elam’s High School record with a 74 yard punt my Junior year.
I was All County my Junior season and I believe I can be All State in 2007.
I competed in my first Scout.com Kicking Expo at the University of Miami (January 19-21, 2007) where I tied for first and was runner up in the tie-breaker. I had the longest punt in competition 55 yards with a 4.7 hang time.
I am Great at Kickoffs with a very strong leg.
86% of my kickoffs were touchbacks for 2006 season.
Scout.com Expo (January 19-21, 2007) my longest Kickoff from the 35 yard line went 12 yards deep into the end zone.
My average kickoff distance was 5.89 yards deep from the 35 yard line using one inch tee and was the best distance on average out of 29 juniors and 29 seniors.
