Over the past five years, having an Ivy League player in contention for the I-AA equivalent of the Heisman Trophy has actually been quite common: Brown wideouts Stephen Campbell and Chas Gessner, Harvard wideout Carl Morris and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and Yale quarterback Alvin Cowan have made appearances...
Incoherent and irrelevant tangents aside, Dawson has clearly put up the numbers so far that will make him a player in the Payton Award race.
