The UA football program received some much-needed good news overnight.

Vaughn Dotsy, a three-star offensive lineman from Ventura, Calif., verbally committed to Arizona late Tuesday night following a national recruitment.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 364-pounder was one of the UA coaching staff's top targets leading up to signing day. Dotsy turned down offers from Florida, LSU, Michigan, Nebraska and Colorado.

Dotsy will almost certainly compete for playing time at the left guard and left tackle positions as a true freshman. He is a natural guard.

Dotsy's commitment was not announced until after the Star went to print Tuesday night. Dotsy told the Rivals.com recruiting service that Arizona's coaches worked the hardest to get him.

"They've always been there from the get-go. They haven't left, and they've always recruited me the hardest," he said. "I felt that I might as well go somewhere that I'm wanted really bad."

Dotsy recently narrowed his final two schools to Arizona and Colorado. He postponed a scheduled trip to Boulder, Colo., over the weekend, and canceled it altogether after committing to the UA.

Dotsy's decision is welcome news for a program that is days removed from a very public decommitment. Corona, Calif., tailback Ryan Bass broke his verbal vow to Arizona on Sunday so he could commit to Arizona State.

The addition of Dotsy gives Arizona 22 verbal commitments with exactly three weeks remaining before Feb. 6, national letter of intent day. Arizona will likely offer another three scholarships before then.
