Rice CB Ephraim Dotson is a rising depth piece with real tackle pop
Ephraim Dotson is a 5-foot-10, 181-pound Rice cornerback who flashed real growth in the 2025 season, finishing with 9 total tackles and a season-best 4 stops against Memphis after appearing in 11 games for a career-high 101 defensive snaps. He looks like a physical, willing defender with good short-area urgency, and his high-school résumé also hints at playmaking instincts. The fit? He projects as a useful, competitive CB for a system that values toughness, rotational depth, and a player who’s still trending up.
