Liam Dobson (born February 6, 1998) is a professional Canadian football offensive lineman for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was drafted third overall in the 2021 CFL Draft by the Blue Bombers. He played college football for the Maine Black Bears and Texas State Bobcats.
College career
[edit]Maine
[edit]A highly-touted prospect out of Canada, Dobson was recruited by number of FBS and FCS schools, including Syracuse, Buffalo, Maine, Colgate, and Fordham. Dobson committed to Maine. In his 2017 freshman season, he participated in six games on an offensive line which allowed the fewest sacks in the CAA. In 2018 Dobson stepped into the starting lineup at right guard, helping guide Maine to the CAA Championship and into the final four of the FCS Playoffs. After the season Dobson received All-CAA second team honors and was named an honorable mention on HERO Sports' Sophomore All-American team. The following season, Dobson was named to the 2019 Preseason All-CAA team. He started all 12 games, splitting time between guard and tackle, and averaged twelve knockdowns per game en route to STATS FCS All-American, All-CAA, and Phil Steele FCS All-Conference honors. Additionally, Dobson was the recipient of Maine's annual honor for offensive linemen: the Sam Sezak Outstanding Offensive Lineman award. Dobson again received Preseason All-American and All-Conference accolades in 2020. However, after the postponement of the CAA football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dobson entered the transfer portal.[2]
Texas State
[edit]Dobson received numerous scholarship offers from FBS schools once in the transfer portal, ultimately committing to Texas State. After his one season in San Marcos, he was named a PFF All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention while also making the Dean List.[3]
Professional career
[edit]After failing to get picked up by an NFL team after mini-camps with the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears, Dobson expressed interest in joining the United States Football League but found that the league was not allowed to issue the necessary P visa due to a lack of revenue.[4]
Dobson signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in May 2022.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
