DANTONIO ON DUNN:
“When you talked to the coaches throughout Ohio, Avery Dunn’s name kept coming up. He has great length and could probably play linebacker; he runs very effectively. He reminds me of Shilique Calhoun in a lot of ways. He’s explosive, long and athletic. Avery should be a great player for us here as he moves forward.”
