Among the Chargers’ 18-player haul of undrafted free agents, they added a pair of running backs from FCS schools. We have already profiled former North Dakota/Northern Iowa running back Tyler Hoosman so today we’re digging into the group’s other ball-carrier in former Sac State/Northern Colorado rusher Elijah Dotson.
Dotson hails from Sacramento, California where he starred for Antelope High School as a two-way player. As a senior, Dotson set the school record for single-season rushing yards and touchdowns record with 2,223 yards and 25 scores.
Despite being a named a First-Team All-NorCal selection and a First-Team All-Metro by The Sacramento Bee, Dotson wasn’t heavily recruited but he eventually decided to stay close to home and attend Sacramento State.
