A former three-star recruit from the Greenville, South Carolina area, Dodd broke out as a pass-rusher in 2015 and had 62 tackles (24 for a loss) and 12.5 sacks for the Tigers. He has excellent size for his position at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds and depending on how well he performs at next month’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, he could very well end up being a high pick for teams needing front seven help.
