2013 OL David Dawson Blowing Up

http://alabama.247sports.com/Article/Dawson-lands-Tide-offer-61410

David Dawson, a 2013 OL who just moved back to Michigan and will be attending Cass Tech, just got offered by Alabama.  He is now reporting offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.  Considering Michigan is going to take 4-5 OL for the 2013 class, and Dawson is attending Cass Tech, a major Michigan pipeline school, so it seems like an offer should be forthcoming soon.  With all the OL offers Michigan has sent, any reason why we haven't offered him yet?

Dawson is also #199 in latest release of Rivals Top 250 list

He'll be offered on his visit this weekend.

It was only a matter of time until this guy blew up. He's totally legit. If he improves his footwork in the pass blocking aspect of his game, he could move up the rankings quickly.

One would imagine that if he intended to play college ball in Texas he probably would have found a way to stay down there another year.   If you wanted to attend school her, you might well come back and try to enroll early.

Hopefully Jourdan Lewis can get in his ear about going Blue.  Another Cass Tech duo would be very nice, and that one would rival the 2012 addition.

No inside info, but more believe that Lewis is a strong Michigan lean, and could be an early commit.  Conventional wisdom agrees with that.

Got to love our Cass Tech connection. Those are two talented players and I hope we can bring them in for 2013 class.

Although Rivals lists seemingly every offensive lineman as an OT, I think he looks more like a guard than a tackle to me.  He's like Chris Bryant or Kyle Kalis - could play tackle, most likely right tackle, but probably projects best at guard.  It might come down to where we need him more, but ideally he's a guard.

Again - this is not from any source, just my take on him.

The thing is, most high schools play their best lineman at tackle.  So even if they're best suited for guard or even center, these high school kids either think they can play tackle at the next level or Rivals just projects them there because they're lazy or something.

im guessing he just hasn't been offered yet due to him previously being in texas and the staff focusing on the midwest

My friends in Texas said it was just a matter of time before Texas offered too.  That is what made me feel this kid was the real deal.

I'm going to go out on a limb and offer him right now. Though I hold no "official" power to make such offer, I'm confident it will hold up when all is said and done.

That he previously attended Cypress Ridge HS (Houston suburb) previously. I imagine there's a good chance that in spite of the Cass Tech pipeline, that the Texas schools will be major players in his recruitment.

A lot of schools are interested in him. He had a pretty good offer sheet before Bama, but that definitely helps put him in an elite group. We're certainly going to offer, apparently (going off of what was said above) Texas is too. That's pretty much all I need to know about this kid to know that I want him to go blue, especially since he's a Cass Tech kid. Our O-line is going to be an immovable force for years to come if we continue to pull in talent like this. LTT and Dawson would be an alright start for 2013 O-line class. Just alright.

Any chance he could play C? Our OL would be totally stacked and massive if he could hold down the middle and have LTT play LT along with the recruits we pulled in this year and players like Chris Bryant. LTT Kalis Dawson Bryant Magnuson/Braden sounds like it would be one hell of a unit if we could get them on the field together.

Dawson's highlights from last year against good Houston competition are..... Tremendous!  Great quickness, footwork and power.  Hope Aquaman is right that we offer this weekend - would love to sew up the Cass tech Troika of Lewis, Dawson and Gibbs.
