Playing college football, specifically in the Southeastern Conference, an individual must possess a level of confidence in their abilities that only the best can channel. For Duke Dawson, that confidence resides deep down inside a quiet young man from Cross City, Florida. Cross City is a little speed trap town just west of Gainesville; a short drive for Dawson’s parents, Monique and Rod to watch their son play under the bright lights of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. On the short 51-mile stroll from Cross City to Gainesville, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson have some time to think and chat about their son, who is part of some of the most defensively dominating years in Florida Gator football history.
