Arkansas DB depth-piece profile with old-school tackling chops
Matt Dodson entered Arkansas with a reputation for toughness and production: in his high school career, he logged 89 solo tackles and, in his senior year, added 10.0 tackles for loss while helping McKinney Boyd reach the playoffs. That profile points to a physical, high-effort defensive back who brings downhill urgency and willingness to hit — traits coaches usually love in a depth defensive back. Publicly available 2025 game-log data shows no listed game activity, so his current value is more about developmental upside and special-teams potential than proven on-field production.
