College career

edit

Tennessee

edit

Dormady committed to Tennessee in 2014.[4] As a true freshman in 2015 he made his college football debut in the season opener against Bowling Green.[5] He played in six games on the year against Bowling Green, Western Carolina, North Texas, Vanderbilt and in the team's Outback Bowl appearance against Northwestern.[6] He threw his first-career touchdown pass to Preston Williams against Western Carolina.[7] He finished the game going six of eight for 93 yards.

Dormady's role diminished in 2016 in his sophomore year as he only appeared in four games.[8] He made his season debut in the team's win over Virginia Tech in the Battle at Bristol. He threw his season-long 36-yard pass against Alabama when he came in relief in the fourth quarter. He played the most against Tennessee Tech as he came off the bench and finished nine of thirteen for 109 yards.[9]

Entering 2017 Dormady was named the starter.[10] In the first week of the season he and John Kelly Jr. led the Volunteers past Georgia Tech in a 42–41 double-overtime win. He threw for a career-high 221 yards and two interceptions.[11] The following week against FCS opponent Indiana State he again had two touchdown passes.[12] The team would lose to No. 24 Florida 20–26 as Dormady threw for a career-high 259 yards but his three interceptions did not help the team.[13] After beating UMass, he would struggle against Georgia and would be shut down for the season after battling a shoulder injury caused prior to the team's loss to Florida. Following the season Dormady announced that he was going to transfer from the team.[14][15][16]

Houston

edit

In 2018, Dormady transferred to Houston.[17][18] Due to his injury sustained the previous season he only played in one game for the Cougars. He debuted against Arizona as he threw for eight yards in the team's win. He would be redshirted and transferred after the season.[19]

Central Michigan

edit

In 2019, Dormady transferred for a second time to Central Michigan.[20] He started in all ten games he played in for the Chippewas. He made his debut against Albany where he threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns.[21] After losing to No. 17 Wisconsin,[22] Dormady missed the next four games with an injury.[23] He threw for multiple touchdowns against New Mexico State in his return from injury, Buffalo, and Northern Illinois.[24] Against Ball State he threw a season-high 365 yards and led a seventeen-point second-half comeback.[25] Against Miami of Ohio he threw for 232 yards and a touchdown in the MAC Championship Game loss.[26] Central Michigan earned a bid in the New Mexico Bowl where they faced San Diego State. In the final game of his career he went eleven of 26 for 164 yards and three interceptions as the team could only score eleven points opposed to the Aztecs' 48.[27][28]

Montreal Alouettes

edit

On December 15, 2020, Dormady signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) but was cut before training camp in 2021.[30] On October 14, 2021, due to injuries he was brought back by the Alouettes and assigned to the practice roster following a try-out with the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL).[31][32]

On May 9, 2022, Dormady was released in the first training camp cuts.[33]

Orlando Guardians

edit

On November 16, 2022, Dormady was assigned to the Orlando Guardians of the XFL.[34] He made his debut in the XFL late in the fourth quarter in reserve for starter Paxton Lynch. He would throw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Jamiel to score the second, and final, touchdown of the game for the Guardians.[35]

He was released on March 3, 2023, after allegedly giving a rival team plays from the Guardians' playbook.[36][37] He was reinstated a day later, on March 4, 2023, when the league released a statement saying they would be investigating into the situation.[38] He was subsequently placed on the team's reserve list.[39] After undergoing a third-party investigation, it was found that there was no substantial proof behind the allegations, and Dormady was added back to the active roster.[40] He made his first career start on March 25, 2023, against the Seattle Sea Dragons after a 0–5 start under Lynch.[41] In the game he completed 24 of 44 passes for 243 yards alongside five rushes for 43 yards.[42] Despite a turnover-free game from Dormady, the Guardians could not break the twenty-point threshold and fell to the Sea Dragons 19–26.[43][44]

The following week on April 1, 2023, Dormady was once again named the starter as the 0–6 Guardians were set to face the 6–0 DC Defenders. After Jordan Ta'amu led the Defenders to a touchdown on their first possession, Dormady responded with a six-play 45-yard touchdown drive of his own which was capped off by his first rushing touchdown on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Following a punt by DC he once again led a scoring drive, this time hitting KD Cannon for a 41-yard touchdown pass to put the Guardians up 12–8. After two touchdowns from the Defenders, Dormady earned his second rushing touchdown of the game with three seconds left in the first half to make the game closer at 18–22.[45] After trading punts, he led the team to a nine-play 46-yard touchdown drive that ended with a fifteen-yard touchdown catch from tight end Jordan Thomas to go up 25–22 over the undefeated Defenders. After an 86-yard touchdown pass from Ta'amu to Chris Blair, Dormady responded and scored his third rushing touchdown of the game bringing his game total of touchdowns to five. DC scored early in the fourth, but a 44-yard touchdown to Cody Latimer would put the Guardians up 37–36 and a few defensive stops would seal the upset for the winless Orlando team.[46] Dormady finished the game with 328 yards on 27 of 34 attempts and three touchdowns. On the ground he also ran for 22 yards on eight attempts and three touchdowns; ending with six touchdowns in total.[47][48] The Guardians folded when the XFL and USFL merged to create the United Football League (UFL).[49]

San Antonio Brahmas

edit

On January 15, 2024, Dormady was selected by the San Antonio Brahmas with the first selection in the Super Draft portion of the 2024 UFL dispersal draft.[50] He signed with the team on February 1.[51] Heading into week four, Dormady was named starting quarterback after starter Chase Garbers was placed on injured reserve.[52] Dormady re-signed with the Brahmas on October 24, 2024.[53]

Memphis Showboats

edit

Dormady was traded to the Memphis Showboats in exchange for linebacker Jordan Ferguson on October 24, 2024.[53]
