Michigan Football hosts teammate of 5-star QB Bryce Underwood vs Oregon

Not only is Michigan preparing for a huge matchup against No. 1 Oregon this weekend, the Wolverines will also host a big recruiting weekend, with the 2025 recruiting cycle coming to a close.

Michigan has made a lot of noise about its pursuit of the five-star quarterback from Belleville (Mich.). Bryce Underwoodbut the nation’s No. 1 overall player isn’t the only Belleville prospect the Wolverines are looking to flip as signing day approaches.

With the Ducks in Ann Arbor this weekend, Michigan will host four-star safety Elijah Dotsona teammate of Underwood’s who is currently committed to Pittsburgh.

This will be Dotson’s third visit to Michigan this season, but first time as an official visitor. The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder was also in the Big House for the Wolverines’ rivalry win over Michigan State last weekend.

Dotson, a rising prospect, is ranked according to 247Sports composite rankings. He committed to Pittsburgh on May 18, but was heavily pursued by both Michigan and Michigan State this fall.

Here’s how 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu evaluates Dotson:

“Has played safety, corner, receiver, return man and some wild quarterback in high school. He is above average size and plays physically. Will put his face in the action on run support and will get his hands on receivers when going man to man man plays. The receiver’s background helps with his ball skills. Versatile and can play deep in the secondary or get into the box, as well as match up one-on-one with slots and tight ends Not out of the question a school could try him as a big corner. The track background speaks to his athleticism and has enough speed in the straights to recover and finish plays.”

Removing Dotson from his commitment to Pitt would not only add a talented defensive prospect to Michigan’s recruiting class, but also give the Wolverines a new recruiter in their pursuit of Underwood in his high school teammate.
