Nick Dawkins, a senior and Penn State captain, takes over as quarterback Drew Allar's center. 'He’s solidified himself as the big dog in there.”
Since committing to Penn State in 2019, Dawkins has been a backup offensive lineman and special teams starter. His loyalty hasn’t wavered in his fifth season with the program.
Dawkins will face noise and chaos in his first game as quarterback Drew Allar's primary center. West Virginia will be a difficult place to make a starting debut, but teammates said that Dawkins has earned the spot. After Nourzad’s departure, Dawkins entered the offseason as Penn State’s most experienced center, despite never logging a start in his career. Since then, J-Thomas said Dawkins has “really taken control” of the offensive line room. Franklin has watched Dawkins' ascension for four years, which culminated with him earning the starting role and a team captaincy this season.
Of being named a captain, Dawkins called it one of the greatest honors a football player can receive.
