Landon Dawson, a promising athlete from Mount Vernon High School's Class of 2028, has been offered his third Division I football scholarship. This latest offer comes from the University of Southern Mississippi.
According to the announcement, the offer was extended by Southern Miss head coach Charles Huff. This marks another significant milestone for Dawson, who is recognized as a talented tight end and edge rusher. He is gaining attention in college football circles due to his notable size, athleticism, and versatility as he begins his high school career.
Dawson is already regarded as one of the top young athletes in the region and has quickly become a prominent name in recruiting discussions. With multiple offers secured before even playing on the varsity field, expectations are high for both his individual career and the Mount Vernon program.
This latest offer follows two other Division I opportunities that have already been extended to Dawson. He trains year-round and has received commendations for his work ethic and leadership qualities. As summer progresses, Dawson is expected to attend camps and visits while preparing for the upcoming season with the Yellow Jackets.
