At the moment, 4-star Oregon running back commit Dante Dowdell is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 19 best running back in the 2023 class. After the way that he’s been performing so far during the start of his senior year, that ranking is looking like it could go up by a lot.
To be fair, the 247Sports Composite Rankings see Dowdell in a higher light, ranking him as the No. 8 RB in the nation, while On3 has him as the No. 12 RB in 2023.
Dowdell has been nothing short of dominant in his senior season with Picayune Memorial down in Mississippi, routinely putting together highlight tapes from individual games that could trump other players’ season-long reels.
