William & Mary’s rising 6-foot-4, 245-pound linebacker with big-play juice
In the 2025 season, Dobler played all 12 games, finished with 26 tackles, 2.0 sacks, a fumble recovery, a pass breakup and a touchdown, while also flashing on special teams with a blocked-punt return TD in 2024 and a botched-punt return TD in 2025. He’s a long, physical junior who grew into a bigger role after redshirting in 2023 and earning scout-team honors in 2024, and local coverage entering 2026 highlighted William & Mary’s plan to rebuild around hard-tackling linebackers like Dobler. The fit profile is clear: productive, versatile, high-effort, and special-teams friendly.
