Mello Dotson

Possesses the height and frame desired at outside CB. Possesses adequate mass with good length and a significant reach. Displays the hips and feet to stay in-phase down field – very good short area reaction skills. Physical and competitive – uses length well in man coverage. Very aggressive in coverage and may be prone to pass interference penalties at the next level. Excellent ball skills – has recorded nine INTs and 18 passes defensed over the last two seasons. Knows what to do with ball once he gets it, recording four TDs since 2023. Very good foot and make up speed. Good vision and instincts – projects as a quality starter in either man or zone coverage schemes. Good tackler who does not shy away from contact.
