Minnesota picks up signing day commitment from former USF commit Josiah Dozier
Signing days always have a surprise or two along the way, and Wednesday’s signing day for the 2026 recruiting cycle was no different.
On Wednesday morning, Minnesota inked a commitment and signing from former USF wide receiver commitment Josiah Dozier. He notably visited the Gophers in October on an official visit and picked up an offer on October 11.
The Alabama wide receiver was committed to USF since April 5, but after Alex Golesh left USF for The Flats of Auburn, Dozier decommitted from the Bulls. Dozier, in his recruitment, also notably held an offer from Ole Miss.
Doazier is ranked in the Rivals Industry Rankings as a top-920 player nationally and the No. 132 wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting cycle. He’s also considered a top-40 talent in the state of Alabama. This season, according to MaxPreps he recorded 42 receptions for 721 yards and 13 touchdowns, while totaling over 30 touchdowns in his career.
In the 2026 recruiting class, Dozier joins Rico Blassingame, Hayden Moore, Braiden Stevens, and Quayd Hendryx as wide receiver commitments for the Golden Gophers.
