As a junior, Dorin was named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Fabulous 22. In high school, he has excelled on offense, having lined up at RB, WR, and even QB; however, most people think that his future is on the defensive side of the ball, where his size and athleticism would make him an ideal OLB.

At this stage of the game, Dorin has interest in several schools, including Ohio State; he claims early offers from Pitt, Penn State, and Boston College.

Dorin prefers RB in college, and has been told there is a Michigan schollie if he wants it. He favors Mich. at this time, but is in no hurry to decide.

I'll try to keep updates on Dorin as my friend in PA knows Dorin personally, they attend WAHS together. I'll personally see to it that he doesn't end up at scUM!

I live in the WAHS school district and have seen him play a couple of times. Very athletic for sure and is obviously well coached as he plays for one of the premier coaches in the US. I did not know that he wanted to play RB in college, if I had to bet I would say most coaches would want him on the D side of the ball. Has a nice frame where he can add some weight(muscle).

Scout.com has posted three videos of Dickerson, pretty impressive.

Word around the campfire is that

Pitt will be tough to beat for Dorin. Tyler Palko's father is the coach of his team, and the fact that Pitt is making him the foudation of their class.

From the Penn State site...Dickerson has offers from Michigan, Ohio State (unconfirmed), Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, LSU and Boston College, as well as several MAC schools. He is waiting to hear from PSU, who has not been in contact. Dorin's father believes he will play WR at the next level. Michigan, his favorite, is recruiting him as a WR.

Has anyone heard if OSU is recruiting him as a LB or WR? I wonder how this will factor in his decision. I thought he wanted to play RB if he stayed on offense in college.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Ohio State is recruiting him as an LB. I suspect that Dorin will eventually end up at LB in college, whichever school he should choose to attend.

Film Study 101....

Dorin ****erson {PA}: All clips show ****erson on offense. As a running back ****erson possesses some admirable qualities. He had great hands, and nice vision. He made the first man miss in the hole on every highlight. He had as many clips receiving as he did running. He made great adjustments, and showed the skills to make a move and take it to the house after the catch.


I think he looks good as a wideout, but he will have to post some good numbers at camps to truly get a look there imo.
I think size and speed make him a LB recruit for tOSU.

He does have some nice hands though...
