Early life

A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Dawkins attended James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, where he was an All-State defensive lineman. Driven by an offense that included running back Marcus Lattimore, the Rebels capped a 15–0 season with a state championship in 2007. From his defensive end position, Dawkins contributed 115 tackles, including 14 sacks and five fumble recoveries. After his senior season concluded, he was invited to Max Emfinger's All-American Bowl Classic in Jackson, Mississippi, where he recorded five sacks and double-digit tackles, and to the 71st annual Shrine Bowl game.

Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Dawkins was ranked as the No. 8 weakside defensive end prospects in his class.[2] With offers also from South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan State, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech, Dawkins committed to the Seminoles on November 17, 2007.
