He was a part of the offensive line group that blocked for Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke. The Seminoles made it to the national championship that year but lost 13-2 to Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma team. Dorsey declared for the draft after that.

The Cowboys selected Dorsey in the seventh round of the 2001 draft. He played in nine games in his rookie season but did not last with the team through 2002. He split time with the Cowboys and the expansion Houston Texans that season.

He signed with the New York Giants in the 2003 offseason but knee surgery forced him onto the physically unable to perform list. The Giants waived him before the start of the football season.

Terry Parker Sr. High School coach Mike Holloway confirmed his death to News Jax 4.
