Draft Profile: Bio
Ezra Dotson-Oyetade from Lakeview Centennial High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Dotson-Oyetade opted to join TCU.

In 2022 as a freshman Dotson-Oyetade saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 13 snaps for the Horned Frogs. He allowed no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.

As a sophomore in 2023 he played in just one game and a total of 8 snaps. He conceded no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Does a nice job on the second level, moving upfield quickly and showing the flexibility and balance to land blocks in space.
  • Quick-footed with smooth movement skills to cover a large area. Rangy with above average lateral ability. Bursts off the snap and sets up quickly with little wasted motion.
  • A smooth athlete with terrific mobility and footwork, staying light on his feet. Has the lateral range, natural shuffle movements, and lower body quickness to mirror speed rushers.
  • Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
  • Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.
  • An agile mover who puts his length to good use, using his hands aggressively and landing solid initial punches. Dotson-Oyetade can move to the second level as a run blocker, with the coordination and balance to hit moving targets.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
  • Is a little too much of a waist bender, and Dotson-Oyetade doesn’t play with ideal power and functional strength. Most concerning - he often gets caught dropping his head, a bad habit that will have to be corrected.
  • Raw as a pass protector, looking choppy and unnatural when moving back into his set, often playing too upright.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
