6’3, 260, was once one of the more highly sought-after prospects in the state, let alone Philadelphia. Although things have slowed down a bit over the past year, Deshon Dodson Deshon Dodson 6'4" | 260 lbs | DL Neumann-Goretti | 2024 State PA still has prominent suitors watching him progress through his senior year. Charlotte UNC came through in May and extended an offer to the OL/DL. Despite his previous tapes showing off some quality reps at tackle/guard, tape from this year is almost exclusively displaying DL reps. Can work as an EDGE/DE piece in three or four-man fronts. Works with his hand in the dirt, three-point stance. He can also serve as an IDL, but not much of it on tape because NG already has some kids who like to work the A-B gaps. Dodson works shading either side of the tackle while providing some OL and IDL capabilities if called upon. Dodson isn’t the most athletic bender off the edge, I like his game translating to IDL or IOL at the next level. He tips the scale in favor of power over athleticism, he can toss kids aside if he can get a good jump off the snap and work his hands. Solid shedder, a little slippery if he gets a good get-off. Dodson impacts opposing QBs even if he doesn’t get home every rep, violent finishes leave an impression whether a sack is registered or not.
