Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Georgia Bulldogs EDGE
Height: 6046 (verified)
Weight: 276lbs (verified)
Year: Redshirt Senior
Pro Comparison: Andrew Brown
Scouting Overview
Georgia Bulldogs edge defender Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins is a well-built and powerful frame on the edge but comes to the pros as a grossly underdeveloped talent. With less than 1,000 career snaps at Georgia, Ingram-Dawkins lacks experience and refinement.
Accordingly, he should be regarded as a developmental flier for an NFL franchise that can potentially unlock his hand power and reach along the line of scrimmage. His foundation as a former top recruit is evident, but he feels a ways away from being ready for the big leagues.

Background
Ingram-Dawkins is from Gaffney, SC, and played high school football for Gaffney High School. There, he was a standout talent and a 4-star recruit. He was named South Carolina’s Mr. Football in 2020 and invited to play in the 2021 All-American Bowl. Ingram-Dawkins ultimately elected to enroll at Georgia as a member of the program’s 2021 recruiting class and enrolled in the winter to be ready for the 2021 season.
He would go on to redshirt that season, playing in just one contest. In 2022, Ingram-Dawkins appeared sparingly in 14 games. A foot injury and subsequent surgery cut into his 2023 season before Ingram-Dawkins started 10 of his 14 appearances in 2024. He bypassed his final season of college eligibility and accepted an invitation to the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl.
Tale Of The Tape
Ingram-Dawkins is a fascinating prospect with significant potential in an even front scheme. There’s natural power and anchor that makes him a viable pocket compressor and point-of-attack defender against the run.
With his reach, hand power, and lower-body strength, Ingram-Dawkins can afford teams a stable floor as a run defender, which would warrant rotational reps as he adds more polish to his game.
That said, he’s woefully underrepped, and it at times shows in his play. Block and run recognition leave more to be desired and undermine his potential to be a persistent load as a front-side defender in the run game. Without the anticipation early in reps, Ingram-Dawkins can be late to set his hands or work his helmet into the gap to uncover and challenge creases in the run game. He does play well when assigned to rep runs outside-in and turn the play back into the teeth of the defense.
Ingram-Dawkins has potential as a power rusher, but he’s not shown the ability to craft winning rush plans with any consistency. You’ll get a bright glimpse of a tight angle that’s been collapsed to pressure or a flash of disruption from the interior, but too many rushes are left inefficient with his hands and fail to help progressively deteriorate a pass set.
He’s too feast or famine in this phase to be considered a viable rookie rusher.
Further compounding his readiness to play are his poor tackle habits and hardly any special teams exposure. Ingram-Dawkins has played 13 reps on special teams in four seasons, and nine of them came in 2024 on punt return once he assumed a starting role.
With too many little things left lingering and minimal experience on kick and coverage units, his readiness to contribute on game days is left in serious question.
Ideal Scheme Fit, Role
Ingram-Dawkins projects best as a developmental base end at the NFL level. He does not have the explosive get-off or speed to threaten from wide angles, and his long reach and raw power would be well served when playing in tight alignments to offensive tackles.
