College career

2020

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

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

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

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]
