LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- ESPN 150 offensive lineman David Dawson (Detroit/Cass Tech) was committed to Michigan for several months before an October trip to the University of Florida violated Wolverines coach Brady Hoke's no-visit policy, causing the prospect and Michigan to part ways. The Wolverines then re-offered the No. 1 offensive guard in the nation a month ago.
“I was going to abide by their rules and I did not want to disrespect Coach [Brady] Hoke, but I had some family issues at the time with my father passing away, so I felt like football was a chance to get away,” Dawson said. “So I felt I had five free visits, so why not take them?”
After his official visit to Florida, Dawson sent out a message.
