Not only is Michigan preparing for a huge matchup with No. 1 Oregon this weekend, but the Wolverines are set to host a massive recruiting weekend with the 2025 recruiting cycle nearing its end.

Michigan has generated a lot of buzz in its pursuit of five-star quarterback Belleville (Mich.) Bryce Underwoodbut the nation’s No. 1 player isn’t the only Belleville prospect the Wolverines are looking to flip as signing day approaches.

With the Ducks in Ann Arbor this weekend, Michigan will host the four-star safety Elijah Dotsona teammate of Underwood’s who is currently employed in Pittsburgh.

This will be Dotson’s third visit to Michigan this season, but his first as an official visitor. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder was at the Big House last weekend as well for the Wolverines’ rivalry win over Michigan State.

A rising prospect, Dotson is considered the No. 296 overall prospect, the No. 1 safety. 29 and the No. 3 player in the state of Michigan in the 2025 recruiting class, according 247 Composite for sports rankings. He committed to Pittsburgh on May 18, but has been heavily pursued this fall by both Michigan and Michigan State.

Here’s how 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu rates Dotson:

“He played safety, corner, receiver, return man and some wild quarterback in high school. He has above average size and plays physical. He’ll put his face in action in run support and get his hands on receivers if he’s playing man-to-man. The receiver back helps with his versatile ball skills and can play deep in the box as well as match up one-on-one with slots and tight ends, but it’s not out of the question a school could try him as a big corner back speaks to his athleticism his and has enough straight line speed to recover and run.

Dotson’s return from his commitment to Pitt would not only add a talented defensive prospect to Michigan’s recruiting class, but also give the Wolverines another recruiter in Underwood’s pursuit of his high school teammate.
