. A safety on defense, film shows us how Dozier has clear vision to get a running start when breaking on the ball. Because his vision is so clear, he is prone to delivering well-timed body shots that break up pass attempts. Additionally, he does a great job of backpedalling and leveling off when nobody is behind him. Physically, Dozier appears to have long legs and a frame that he can build into – likely without losing a step. Versatile enough to play corner, he is also long and quick enough to play bump and run. Wherever he is lined up on the field, Dozier knows how to use the sideline as a defender. On offense he is a receiver who has the quicks to reverse field and still gain the sideline.

immediately jumps off the tape because of his athleticism and versatility. Whether he’s lining up at outside corner or taking snaps at quarterback, he moves fluidly and impacts the game in multiple ways. At 6’2”, 172 pounds, he brings length, speed, and natural coordination that translate across positions.
Defensively, Dozier looks most comfortable at corner. His footwork stands out, allowing him to stay balanced in press coverage and turn and run with receivers downfield. He plays the catch point well, uses his length to disrupt throws, and isn’t afraid to be physical at the line of scrimmage. That combination gives him a well-rounded skill set on the back end.
Offensively, he’s still developing as a quarterback, but his speed and acceleration add a dangerous running element that Pleasantville consistently leaned on. That dual-threat ability forces defenses to account for him on every snap.
At the next level, Dozier projects as a true athlete rather than a position-locked prospect. His fluid movement, coverage ability, and open-field speed make him a player coaches can plug into multiple roles. As the offseason unfolds, expect his recruitment to gain momentum as more programs take notice of his all-around impact.

is one of the more intriguing two-way athletes in New Jersey. At 6’2”, 172 pounds, the Pleasantville standout impacts the game in all three phases—and has the upside to become a true shutdown corner at the next level.
It starts on special teams, where his long stride and vision make him a threat in the return game. He sees the field well, hits lanes with solid acceleration, and covers ground quickly in the open field.
Offensively, he contributes as a raw but effective wide receiver. Dozier uses his frame to his advantage, shielding defenders and hauling in tough catches. He’s still developing as a route runner, but the tools are there.
Defensively, he shines. With elite length, long arms, and advanced technique, Dozier is a tough matchup on the outside. He’s shown comfort in press, off-man, and zone looks and doesn’t shy away from contact. His ability to read screens and make tackles in space makes him even more valuable.
The only piece still catching up is his top-end speed. But Dozier is firmly on the radar with offers from programs like Wake Forest, Duke, Syracuse, West Virginia, and more. If he takes that next step this fall, he could join the ranks of New Jersey’s elite defensive backs.
