Catholic Memorial running back Mekhi Dodd’s season took a turn for the worst during a game in Florida, where he suffered a severe ACL injury. Despite his absence, the Knights put together a solid 8-3 season, falling short of a state title. Coach John DiBiaso praised Dodd’s talent and compared him to former standout Isaac Johnson.
Dodd’s recovery process was challenging, but he stayed committed and was recently cleared to return to football activities. His dedication paid off during a recent scrimmage, where he impressed with a long touchdown run. Dodd’s verbal commitment to play at Boston College reflects his desire to stay close to home and the support he received during his rehabilitation.
While Dodd’s talent on the field is undeniable, DiBiaso and athletic director Thomas Claiborne highlight his humility and character off the field. Dodd’s quiet determination and hard work have endeared him to his coaches and teammates.
Despite facing adversity with his injury, Dodd’s return to the field shows his resilience and determination. As he prepares for his senior season, he is focused on making an impact and helping his team succeed. With his humility and talent, Dodd has the potential to make a significant contribution both on and off the field for Catholic Memorial and beyond.
