Dakota Dozier, “He’s a Special Person and a Special Player”

Furman University is small liberal arts school in Greenville, North Carolina with an enrollment of just under 3,000 students whose football program boasts quite an impressive FCS (Division II) history.

Those who have packed the 16,000 seat Paladin Stadium over the course of the last several decades have been treated to some of the best small-school football in the country.

A home record of 156-46-1, 11 southeast conference championships, and a 1988 FCS national title has helped Furman establish themselves as a small-school powerhouse.

As is the case with many Universities with limited enrollment, despite their rich tradition and record of sustained success, NFL prospects from Furman have been few and far between.
