Nick Dawkins was a three-star recruit when he joined Penn State’s 2020 recruiting class. He did not crack the starting lineup until 2024, but his impact was immediately felt on the offensive line. Dawkins earned All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2024 and won the Wuerffel Trophy for his leadership off the field. He was again named a team captain in 2025 and remained a key piece on the offensive line.
Dawkins did not hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he signed on with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent. He will join former teammate Vega Ioane in Baltimore and compete for a spot on the Ravens’ 53-man roster in the fall.
Only 53 more days until Penn State’s season opener against Marshall!
