RB/Athlete 6'1" 308 lbs Dion Dawson Cincinnati Western Hills HS

That is awesome! Remember that Buffalo RB a few years back. PLayed in the glass bowl in 04 or 05? He was about 6'1" 285.

Penn State has several 3 star, 4 star and even a 5 star commit that may be looking to go elsewhere.

Here's a video of him. Note: Dion Dawson, not Dino. Dino played WR at Ohio State and Kent State in the 80's.

Wow. What a steamroller. He reminds me of Jim Brown, dragging defensive players down the field.

Dino was an assistant at Toledo. Dion's a big boy, but I'm guessing around 260-270 at the most. I think they have inflated his weight a bit.

Quick for his size. Could be a good DT.

Pete Johnson?

I thought his film was amazing.
If he could really be a ball carrier in college that would be pretty awesome.

I read Dion was 308 when he camped at UT.

TE or a great pulling OG. Lots of possibilities because of his athleticism.
Talk about pounding the FB.

His videos were fun to watch

Do we have a legit shot of getting this guy? He could probably play a number of positions - but I like the idea of him being in the backfield. Running an option style running attack with the QB, Dawson doing the quick hitters up the middle - then if we could only find a way to bring Adonis Thomas back for a few more years.

Johnson was a bulldozer. My first thought, though, was Brandon Jacobs of the NY Giants.

It would be great to get him. But, don't you think he'll end up a DL at a BCS school?

Reminded me of Ron Dayne

Depends on if he wants to be a Running Back or if he'll go for anything...

And Brian Jones and Bruce Gradkowski were 6-1 or 6-2. Eric Page is 5-10 and 180 pounds, and Terrance Owens is 180 pounds too.

Maybe

I read on another site that eligibility issues are the only thing keeping him from getting major offers, is that correct?
