Posted Sep 10, 2002


A National Championship on his belt and now a second chance at a Heisman Trophy are just a few of the things Ken Dorsey can hold up high and place on his mantle. But does all thins translate to the next level and what kind of pro-prospect is he?

Full Name: Ken Dorsey School: Miami-Fl Year: 4Sr

Ht: 6-4 Wt: 200 40: 4.95 Number: 11

Scouting Report:

True leader and winner at the quarterback position. Sets-up in the pocket with solid fundamentals, scans the field going through receiver progressions and on the same page as all his targets. Sells both the play action and run action, buys a lot of time for receivers and spreads the ball around to all his targets. Times his release nicely as receivers rarely wait on the ball, leads wide outs with his throws smartly placing the ball out in front, letting them run to the pass. Looks off the safety or his primary target with regularity and takes what the defense gives him. Not a quick or explosive athlete, lacks the immediate release and arm strength is average at best. Puts a lot of effort to get the ball downfield and even then the results are barely adequate. Spirals are not tight and passes float. Tall, thin build with minimal stature in the pocket. Has led one of the top programs in Division I-A football the previous two years and did so successfully but had tremendous talent surrounding him. If placed behind a strong offensive line with quality skill players surrounding him, could be a solid signal caller at the next level and one that does lose games for a franchise.
