Transferred Temple DL with Proven 27-Tackle Freshman Season at Albany
Deshon Dodson is a 6'3", 270-lb defensive lineman who transferred from Albany to Temple in January 2026, bringing a high-intensity, battle-ready mindset after playing all 12 games as a freshman in 2025 and recording 27 total tackles (9 solo, 18 assisted) with 2.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks [2][3][4][5]. His differentiator is his immediate reliability along the line—no injury history noted—and a championship pedigree as the 2025 6A Public League MVP with 84 high school tackles, 35 solo, and 2 INTs [9]. While raw sack numbers are modest, his consistency, physical maturity, and league-winning intensity make him a strong fit for teams needing a dependable, hard-nosed interior presence who can anchor the defense from day one.
