Dawkins looking forward to new task

Colorado State entered camp looking for two new return men, and head coach Mike Bobo found replacements who were already on roster.

Kickoff return duties will fall to running back Dalyn Dawkins, while punt returns will be handled by Robert Ruiz.

Bobo is a bit concerned about the added hits Dawkins might take, but he also feels the junior's running style is best suited to the task, plus, he brings big-play ability to the assignment.
