Boston College special teams coach Mike Dawson has announced he will be leaving the football staff effective January 1 to pursue opportunities outside of football.

"Mike Dawson has been a valuable member of our staff for the past three seasons," Coach Frank Spaziani said. "We wish him nothing but the best as he heads down a new career path. I'm certain he will be a success wherever his career path leads him."

Spaziani said he would make further announcements about his staff in the near future.
