Dawkins made an impact in just one season on the court for UCF in 2018-19, helping to guide the Knights to their first ever at-large NCAA Tournament bid. The 6-foot-6 guard was named Second Team All-Conference in The American after averaging 15.6 points per game, while also grabbing 5.0 rebounds per game, totaling 34 steals, and leading UCF with a 40.0 three-point percentage on 73 attempts.
Dawkins' biggest moment came on the biggest stage, a 32-point blistering of no. 1 Duke in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. He went 12-for-18 from the floor, 5-for-7 from three-point range, dished out four assists and had three steals, as the Knights narrowly missed out on upsetting the Blue Devils.
