In his junior year, Dawson tallied 68 total tackles, including 22 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, and a forced fumble last season, pacing the Chiefs in all categories.
Those numbers built on a sophomore campaign in which the defender contributed 46 tackles, including five for a loss, four sacks, and an interception.
Miami is coming off of a 13-3 record and a berth in the College Football National Championship last year, having sent a number of players to the NFL via the Draft, including first-round pick Rueben Bain Jr. at defensive end.
