Ed Dougherty, Lycoming College
Football – Class of 1992
Ed “Doc” Dougherty was the first Lycoming College quarterback to start as a freshman, and for good reason, as he earned three All-American honors in his career. In his four years, Dougherty racked up a school-record 39-7 overall record, including a regular-season record of 34-4. After passing for more than 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in his first two years, including picking up Honorable Mention Pizza Hut All-American honors as a sophomore, he never lost another regular season game, reeling off 18 consecutive wins to cap his career. Dougherty was at the helm during three straight playoff runs, including the run to the National Championship game in 1990. As a junior, he won his first of two consecutive MAC Player of the Year awards while passing for 2,706 yards and 22 touchdowns. He set a school-record with 226 completions and earned Honorable Mention Champion USA All-American honors. In his final season with the Warriors, Dougherty passed for 2,642 yards en route to Third Team Champion USA All-American honors. More than 20 years later, Dougherty still holds nine school records, including career records for completions (720), passing yards (8,850), and touchdowns responsible for (95). He was inducted into the Lycoming College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1997.
