When the doctor told me, My college career is over after I’ve torn my Achilles. It killed me hearing those words come out of his mouth. I had so much to prove this season, I wanted the world to feel me. I wanted the world to hear my story. This will not stop me from chasing my dreams, and accomplishing my goals that I’ve set. I will comeback better than ever !!! #RollWave 🌊

This past spring, the redshirt senior was granted a sixth season of eligibility from the NCAA following an appeal.

Over the past two years, Dauphine has played a large role in the Green Waves offense. Amassing 1,354 yards and 14 touchdowns.

In 2019, Dauphine led all Tulane running backs with 575 yards and 7 touchdowns, as part of a Green Wave rushing offense that finished second in the AAC.

Dauphine transferred to Tulane from Texas Tech in 2017, sitting out the season as a transfer redshirt.
