Dalyn Daeel Dawkins (born December 26, 1994) is an American professional football running back who is a free agent. He played college football for the Colorado State Rams.

Early life

Dawkins was born and grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and attended Trinity High School. He rushed for 1,479 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior for the Shamrocks and was named second-team All-State by the Louisville Courier-Journal. Dawkins was rated a three-star prospect by Rivals.com and a four-star by Scout.com and was ranked the ninth-best college prospect in the state for the 2013 recruiting class and committed to play college football for Purdue over offers from Colorado State, Illinois, Cincinnati, Ball State and Western Kentucky.[1]

College career

Dawkins began his collegiate career at Purdue. As a freshman Dawkins rushed for 115 yards on 32 carries with nine receptions for 84 yards in nine games for the Boilermakers. Following the season, Dawkins announced that he would be transferring to Colorado State University in part because of Purdue's pass-heavy offense.[2] After sitting out the 2014 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Dawkins played for the final three seasons of his eligibility with the Rams. As a redshirt sophomore, Dawkins appeared in 12 games (nine starts) and rushed for 867 yards on 170 carries and one touchdown along with 178 yards and one touchdown on 24 pass receptions.[3] He rushed for 919 yards on 161 carries with four touchdowns and 20 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown in 12 games (11 starts) the following season. As a senior, Dawkins rushed for 1,349 yards and eight touchdowns and had 100-yards rushing in seven of Colorado State's eight conference games and was named second-team All-Mountain West Conference.[4] He finished his career with 3,185 rushing yards, the third-most in CSU history, on 557 carries with 14 touchdowns and caught 70 passes for 650 yards and three touchdowns.[5]
