Notre Dame’s athletic, rim-protecting force with pro upside
Dodson was Notre Dame’s high-energy frontcourt engine in 2021-22, averaging 12.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks while shooting 49.0% and earning All-ACC and ACC All-Defense honors. Her calling card is impact that goes beyond box scores: she runs the floor, protects the rim, crashes the offensive glass and brings a physical, “difference maker” presence that coaches love. She also overcame prior injuries and still played with real burst, which makes her a strong fit for teams that want a mobile, defensive-minded forward with finishing touch and toughness.
