Dalton, who is 6 feet 1 and 180 pounds, visited UH this past weekend.
"As soon as I got there, it felt right," he said. "It felt like a family. When it comes to football, everybody is all about work. I like that. That's what I'm trying to do."
Dalton said he was used as a running back, receiver and safety as a senior last season. He will compete at cornerback for the Warriors.
Dalton received track scholarship from Sacramento State and Idaho. His 300-meter hurdle time of 39.1 seconds ranked 13th among California high school hurdlers last year.
Dalton received several track scholarships, but opted to compete in football.
"He broke up a lot of passes," Vallejo coach Mike Wilson said. "People wouldn't throw in his area because they knew he was there."
