Dodson turned in one of those games that makes you see why the coaching staff has so much faith in him. He piled up 317 yards and three scores through the air on 19-of-29 passing, and added another 116 yards and two touchdowns with his legs. What stood out wasn’t just the stat line, but how he got there — quick decisions, smooth reads, and the ability to improvise when plays broke down. He kept his feet moving, extended drives, and when he took off he ran with power but also the smarts to slide when needed. Mix in some crafty arm angles to squeeze throws in, and you’ve got the complete package. It’s easy to see why Chandler Prep leans on him so heavily.

Dodson is a dual-threat QB with loads of potential moving forward, as he looked like one of the most electric players in 2A last season as he put together some really good tape. Good mechanics in the pocket, as I really like his active feet to frequently throw from a well balanced position at all 3 levels and from different angles. Instinctive runner with a nice initial burst and flashed the ability to make opponents miss with a swift change of direction, and finished multiple long runs to showcase his top end speed.
