College career[edit]
2020[edit]
Doty appeared in 7 games. He completed 43 of 71 passes for 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He also rushed for 91 yards.[2]
Doty originally only appeared in a specific package of plays designed for him, but took over as the starter for the final two games of the 2020 season.
2021[edit]
Doty injured his foot in the offseason, so he did not play in the first two games, instead serving as a backup to Zeb Noland. Doty later took over during the game against Georgia. He started the next four games, but then suffered a season-ending injury. Noland, Jason Brown, and Dakereon Joyner would start at quarterback the remainder of the 2021 season.
2022[edit]
Doty appeared sparingly in 2022, serving as the primary backup to transfer Spencer Rattler. He appeared in a relief role in three games.
Personal life[edit]
Doty was born to Bobby and Melanie Doty. Both of his parents were athletes at Erskine College.[3]
Doty also has a younger brother, Jake, who is currently a quarterback at Myrtle Beach High School.[4]
