At Penn State, Dotson posted 183 catches for 2,757 yards and 25 touchdowns. He ranks No. 4 in all-time receiving yards, No. 2 in receiving touchdowns, and No. 2 in catches in Penn State history.

Dotson and a fifth-round pick were sent to the Eagles for a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks.
