Dawson is joining Notre Dame at the right time, considering the team’s run to the national championship this season. As far as Louisville is concerned, the Cardinals landed former Baylor safety Corey Gordon recently.

Over the last two seasons, he has seven starts. Over his career, he has 64 tackles and grabbed three interceptions this past season. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

During the 2023 season, Gordon played in 11 games with four starts, racking up 30 tackles, one tackle for loss, and four pass breakups. Gordon tallied three tackles, and a key pass break up when they defeated Cincinnati. He also tallied seven tackles against TCU.

As a freshman in 2022, Gordon saw action in two games, against Texas State and against Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. In high school, he played at Putnam City West High School (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). According to the On3 Industry Rankings for the 2022 cycle, Gordon was tabbed as a three-star recruit and the No. 747 overall prospect in America. He was also ranked as the No. 65 safety in the country.
