247Sports, On3 and Rivals all rate Dotson as a four-star. 247Sports ranks him No. 7 recruit in Michigan and No. 44 at the safety position, while On3 has No. 4 in the state and the No. 14 athlete, both for the Class of 2025, respectively.

247Sports has three recruiting insiders in Allen Trieu, Steve Lorenz and Brice Marich who have given "Crystal Ball" predictions that Dotson will chose the Panthers. On3 has a recruiting predcition machine that also has Dotson going to Pitt.

Pitt was Dotson's first offer, as secondary coach Archie Collins recruits the Detroit area heavily. He also recently wore Pitt gloves to a camp back in April, showing his love for the program.
