Dawson joined the starting lineup at Purdue on Jan. 13 after Juwan Gary suffered a season-ending shoulder injury the game prior vs. Illinois.

He started the next eight games but was eventually moved back off the bench. Dawson played a total of 14 minutes in five appearances the rest of the season.
