The late Dorsey was a four-year standout on the Ram football and men's tennis teams.  A ball-hawking defensive back, Dorsey led the Ram football team with seven interceptions in 1975 and added five more in 1976.  His 12 career interceptions rank him among the all-time leaders at Shepherd.  He gained All-Conference honors in men's tennis as he posted a 10-2 mark and captured the WVIAC individual singles title at number six in 1977.  His win helped Shepherd to the conference crown and a trip to the NAIA Championships in Kansas City, Kansas. Dorsey went on to a successful career as a teacher and coach at Loudoun County High School (VA) from 1978-1990 that included stints as the head coach of both the football and baseball teams.  He retired in 1990 to open his painting business.  Dorsey passed away at age 39 in 1994 after a courageous fight against leukemia.
