25 best college football players not in the College Football Hall of Fame (yet)

4. Ken Dorsey, Miami, QB

The University of Miami was back to being the dominant force it was in the late 80s and early 90s. Ken Dorsey was a fish out of water based on the school’s image, but he was perfect for controlling that offense. He led the Hurricanes to back-to-back National Championship appearances, winning the title in his junior season. When he left the prestigious UM, he held the records for total offense, passing touchdowns, and passing yards.

Over his total career, Dorsey threw for 86 touchdowns and just 28 interceptions. Beyond the statistical records, it was his winning percentage that was astounding. Of course, those Miami teams were stacked, but without Dorsey under center, there’s no way those teams go a ridiculous 38-2 in his starts. Again, Dorsey lost two out of 40 games in his college career. He won the Big East three times when winning the Big East meant something. Dorsey was a dominant presence under center.

A few years ago, Bleacher Report called him one of the 25 best college quarterbacks of all time. Dorsey won the Offensive Player of the Year Award twice (although he did have to share it). He won 32 games in a row. In his three seasons as the starter, Dorsey had a quarterback rating under 100 just twice. He was remarkably consistent and put up huge numbers when it was necessary. The fact that he’s not in the Hall is one of the bigger head-scratchers on the ballot.
