He plays for one of the top high school football programs in Alabama. Moody is 12-2 and ranks as the No. 22 team in the Yellowhammer State, per the Massey Ratings. According to MaxPreps, Dozier has caught 42 passes and turned them into 721 yards and 13 touchdowns. He’s got over 30 scores to his name at the prep level.
Dozier was the fourth-highest-ranked commit in USF’s class entering Nov. 30. The Bulls now have to find a new head coach and entered Nov. 30 with one of the best Group of Five recruiting classes in the nation.
