Imagine the look on first year Fort Worth Avengers head coach Darrel Brummett's face when he saw Greg Dolan. The Avengers were a play away from the TUFL title game last year, and many considered them to be on of the best teams in the league. All the Avengers needed to reach the TUFL Super Bowl might be a premier player. At 6 foot 6 and almost 280 pounds offensive tackle and deep snapper, Dolan looked the part. It didn't take coaches long to find out he had played big-time college football.
Dolan following a playoff game "Greg showed up at practice and talked to us for a few minutes. We told him to suit up and let us take a look at him," according to Avengers co-owner Gary Fulenwider. "He put on his University of Texas Alamo Bowl jersey and Tarleton State University helmet and took the field."
The immediate impression has been felt all season by teammates and coaches alike. "By far Greg Dolan is one of the best offense lineman the Avengers ever had," said Avengers receiver Alex Martinez. "The guy is impressive even when we are just tossing the ball around. He makes one handed catches all the time."
Dolan did play for the Texas Longhorns where he won a National Championship. Dolan was a Super Team performer for Dave Campbell's Texas Football as well as the number 27 prospect in the state of Texas for Rivals.com coming out of Round Rock's Westwood High School in 2004. He was all district two years, a first team All-Central Tex two years, and Second Team 5A all state his senior year. Dolan definitely has an impressive pedigree.
