Ken Dorsey was a field general. He led one of college football’s greatest teams, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes. He doesn’t have the immense awards list like other names on this list, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving.

Dorsey played at the U from 1999-2002, captaining the Canes to a 2001 national championship blowout win over the Heisman-led Nebraska Cornhuskers. Dorsey ended his career with 9,565 passing yards for 86 touchdowns and only 28 interceptions.

Dorsey was more than an elite passer; he was clutch. Dorsey was known for his calm yet somehow dominant demeanor. He was a methodical quarterback who displayed a crazy-high amount of what quarterback experts call ‘money.’ He was like another coach on the field surrounded by first-round draft picks.

Dorsey’s dominance and a 38-2 overall college record easily get him into the Hall.
