Lawrence Dawsey came to Florida State as a little known tailback from Dothan, Alabama, and left the program as one of the Seminoles all-time great wide receivers. Over his four-year career from
1987-90, Dawsey caught 128 passes for 2,129 yards - only FSU legends Ron Sellers and Fred Biletnikoff caught more passes for the Seminoles. Dawsey was named First Team Associated Press All-American following a spectacular senior season in 1990 when he caught 65 passes for 999 yards. The reception and yardage totals ranked fourth on the FSU all-time lists and his performance was the best for a Seminole receiver in 18 years. A remarkably consistent player with great determination and courage, Dawsey tied Ron Sellers' school record of 30 consecutive games with at least one reception with a dramatic 76-yard touchdown catch on the second play on a 45-30 win over Florida. He had 20 touchdown receptions over his career, which ranks as the fourth highest total in Seminole history. Dawsey was a team captain as a senior and the Seminoles posted a 42-6 record over his four years including four straight finishes among the Associate Press Top Four.
