Scout - Stud 2018 WR Jahan Dotson with SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 interests

Was blown away by the offers from Alabama, Ohio State & Auburn. Hearing the most from Ohio State & also talks about his interest in Penn State & Notre Dame.

Jahan says Coaches Meyer & Smith are currently recruiting him the hardest. Plans on making a decision late in the process, but also states his dad's favorite team is tOSU.

Visiting OSU today, per Marc Givler.

Dotson is going to be big time. He has great body control and uses it to high point the ball way over defenders. He has great open field speed for just a sophmore. Love how involved we are early with skill position players in Gill, Washington and Dotson. Dotson is a pure receiver but Washington and Gill have some versatility.

247 - Four-star Dotson is big on many

Talks to OSU the most, followed by Clemson, Tennessee and Rutgers and hopes to visit all four this fall. Visited Clemson, Rutgers, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State over the summer.

For what its worth, met someone recently somewhat on the inside who said that this kid is the real deal, a total freak of an athlete that makes everything look easy. Said that all of the major schools are after him, some also pursuing him for track, supposedly he's pretty good at the long jum. He indicated that as of now, Notre Dame is probably in the lead followed by Stanford. He stated "academics" as the primary reason.

As a side note, he also indicated that there's a good chance that OSU will have a satellite camp at Peddie next year.

FWIW... Peddie tuition is $47K; $56K with board; usually students come from an upper tier family
this a premium school (think WRA); teachers are college prof tier

Yes - academics first school, no athletic scholarships but they are trying to upgrade the football team. I was also told that Rutgers is actively recruiting about eight of there players

UCLA has offered...to go along with MSU and NC State since his visit for The Game. Like where OSU is at but he will be a battle with ND, Alabama, Clemson, etc.

Ran into the person I know that is somewhat on the inside with Jahan. He now says that OSU is probably in the lead, that Urban "has the best relationship" with him. Also said that Urban is supposed to come out to visit sometime in February. Confirmed that most of the big name coaches have/are coming to campus to see recruits. Dabo was there recently (I think Clemson signed an o-lineman this year). Saban hasn't been there yet, but they expect to see him sometime in the spring. Peddie supposed to have several D1 prospects for 2018.
