How is Tar'Varish Dawson performing with the Colorado Buffaloes?

How is the former Auburn WR doing with Deion Sanders?

During and following Bryan Harsin's tenure at Auburn,a plethora of players entered into the transfer portal, scattering across college football.

One ended up committing to Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes and is now shining in a new role - speedy wide receiver Tar'Varish Dawson.

Dawson, like many Auburn players who entered the transfer portal, seemed to struggle at times from lack of proper usage. The difference between Dawson and several other Tigers was the fact that he was hardly used - when he was, it wasn't effective. Dawson had two receptions and two rush attempts in two seasons with the Tigers.

In just two games, Dawson has six receptions for 50 yards with Colorado. 41 of those yards came alongside receiving touchdown in week two against rival Nebraska, a game that the Buffs went onto win 36-14.

On top of that, he also had an eight-yard rushing touchdown on an end-around.

Deion Sanders praised Dawson for having earned his spot on the team after the victory.

“I definitely want to see these young men go out there and perform, but they had to get it together at practice before we were able to put them on display for the whole world to see and both of them (Dawson and Silmon-Craig) came up big," Sanders said. "Chick was darn near tears at halftime. He was just thanking me for giving him an opportunity. I’m like, ‘You earned that my man, you earned that and I’m proud of you.’ So I love those types of stories.”
