On3 DB / Dante Dowdell

As a College Recruit

Big downhill runner who is one of the more powerful running backs in the 2023 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-1, 208 pounds prior to his senior season. Tests as a good athlete, running an electronically-timed 4.65 second 40-yard dash in addition to a 34 inch vertical. Very productive while carrying a big workload as a junior. Rushed for 2,406 yards (7.9 yards per carry) and 26 touchdowns. Bursts through the line and gets downhill quickly. Shows high-end power and ability to break tackles. Runs through arm tackles and shrugs off attempts. Has a nice stiff arm. Shows the speed to finish runs at his size. Runs with some violence. Can improve his ball skills as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Dante Dowdell reminds us of Tyrion Davis-Price due to similarities in size, running style and productive high school careers. Like Davis-Price, Dowdell is a bigger back at around 6-foot-1, 210 pounds with good burst and ability to break tackles.

Dante Dowdell is one of the more productive rushers in the 2023 cycle, running for 2,406 yards and 26 touchdowns at Picayune (Miss.) Memorial. He’s also one of the bigger backs nationally, checking in at around 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds. Dowdell is a violent and physical downhill runner who runs through arm tackles at the second level. He also posted an electronically-timed 4.65 second 40-yard dash time this spring, a very solid mark for a running back, particularly at his size.
