From traveling to Brazil to training with teammates, tackle Dion Dawkins has already had quite the offseason and he isn’t slowing down yet. Friday March 23, Dawkins made a surprise visit to Grice Middle School in Hamilton, New Jersey, to attend a community outreach program presented by E.N.D.U.R.E- STEM Meets Sports. The program utilizes professional or collegiate athletes to lead fun, hands-on activities centered around science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
In between knockout basketball games, Dawkins took time to remind the students that he is just like them.
“I just like talking to them and letting them understand that I’m just as normal as they are,” stated Dawkins in an interview with David Foster for The Trentonian paper.
