Like Brisker, Dotson announced his intentions on social media thus ending one of the more historic careers in Penn State footbal history. Dotson nabbed first-team All-Big Ten honors, All-American honors, and a trip to the Resse's Senior Bowl. He set the Penn State single game receiving record with 242-yards in a 31-14 win at Maryland.
