Dales was a tackling machine in ODU's season-opening victory against Lake Erie as the Panthers limited their opponent to just three points on the scoreboard.
The last time we saw the senior linebacker on the gridiron, he produced 15 tackles for the Panthers in the America's Crossroads Bowl Game against Truman State.
Dales racked up 13 tackles against Lake Erie while three of those were for a loss behind the original line of scrimmage. He also had a pass breakup and made nine of his 13 stops in solo fashion.
Dales finished 2019 with nearly 100 total tackles and was a first team all-conference playmaker from his junior season.
