The former 3-star prospect spent most of his time as a reserve CB, totaling 9 tackles and a pass deflection across his career.
Dodson had a huge start to his career out of high school, playing well against Florida before being preserved for a redshirt season. He missed 6 games due to injury in 2020 and suffered injury problems during the offseason before this past year. He appeared in 9 games for Kentucky in 2022.
