Former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Char-ron Dorsey tragically passed away on Monday at the age of 46 following complications from a stroke.
The devastating news was confirmed to Clayton Freeman of The Florida Times-Union by Michael Holloway, a longtime friend who coached middle and high school football with Dorsey.
“He’s had an impact on so many kids that have had the opportunity to make it to the next level,” Holloway told Freeman.
Dorsey was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. He was a star two-way athlete who played defensive tackle and power forward at Bolles School in Jacksonville before joining the Florida State Seminoles on a football scholarship.
He played defensive tackle and even tried out at tight end before the team opted to make him an offensive tackle, where Dorsey flourished. He earned All-ACC honors in 2000 before getting drafted by the Cowboys in the seventh round (242nd overall) in 2001.
Dorsey was waived by the Cowboys during his sophomore 2002 campaign before the Houston Texans claimed him off waivers. He then landed with the New York Giants in 2003, but Dorsey unfortunately had to miss the entire year recovering from knee surgery. He was released by the Giants before the regular season commenced.
After his playing career, Dorsey took up a coaching career and was employed as the HC for three different schools Matthew Gilbert, Andrew Jackson and Terry Parker schools in Jacksonville.
“That was what he always told the kids, all you’ve got to do is work hard and you can make it,” Holloway said on Dorsey to Freeman. “But you have to be willing to go through the fire.”
Dorsey is survived by his wife and two children, per First Coast News.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dorsey’s family and friends during this difficult time.
