Dawkins was a model of consistency in his college career, the first two years of which were spent with Chabot Junior College in Heyward, Calif. The outfielder’s combined NCAA slash line was .350/.426/.477, and he fortuitously had his best season as a senior for the Sacramento State Hornets by hitting .359/.415/.528 with six homers, 33 RBIs, eight stolen bases, 22 walks and 41 strikeouts over 248 at-bats — all career highs. As a non-power hitter in a non-power conference (WAC), Dawkins fell all the way to the 27th round of the 2018 draft, where the White Sox were happy to snag him.
