Utilizing speed and quickness on the edge, Dillon gives his team a great change of pace threat that can also catch passes out of the backfield. With his 3.3 GPA, Donique remains committed in the classroom as well as the weight room. His goals this off season are to add size and strength to his speed and fine tune his blocking game to become the complete football player. -Mark Ortega/Action Sport Video, Inc.

1stCG Extra: Compact size player with quickness. Dillon also is a threat to the defense when catching the football out the backfield.
