What Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins Brings to Georgia

SI All-America defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins has committed to Georgia over North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. He is physical and strong.

Defensive tackle and SI All-America Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins committed to Georgia Friday afternoon selecting the Dawgs over North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The evaluators at SI All American are impressed. Here is the scouting report:

Frame: Big and tall. Adequate width and mass across upper body. Long, powerful arms. Thick, tightly-wound thighs and trunk with developing calves. Ample room for more mass and muscle.

Athleticism: Strong, fluid and explosive. Overwhelms high-school linemen with power. Moves like player 30 pounds smaller, with quick feet and flexible hips. Impressive speed and burst in box and open field.  

Instincts: Extremely physical. Regularly first off the ball. Gets into linemen’s chest with long arms, winning matchups almost before they begin. Sheds blockers with frightening ease if engaged post-snap. Effective in pursuit from back side; never gives up on play.  

Polish: Takes full advantage of arm length, strength. Hand-fighting needs work. Fires out low, but tendency to play upright. Raw pass-rusher who relies on tools; must add, develop technique.  

Bottom Line: Ingram-Dawkins possesses every physical attribute recruiters look for from defensive linemen. Already versatile enough to play multiple roles in different schemes, and will only grow more so with additional weight and strength. Projects as multi-year impact starter and eventual NFL draft pick.
