Churchill County High School graduates Ben Dooley and Tommy McCormick each signed deals with NFL teams as undrafted free agents following the NFL draft with Dooley signing with the Los Angeles Rams, and McCormick with the New York Giants.

Dooley, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman, played five seasons at Boise State after redshirting as a freshman in 2019. In his final season last fall, Dooley was named College Football Network Third Team All-America, First Team All-Mountain West, and Academic All-Mountain West. He started all 14 games at left guard, anchoring a unit that paved the way for a school-record 3,365 rushing yards. Boise State finished the season ranked in the nation’s top 10 in rushing (240.4 yards per game), total yards (466.0 yards per game), scoring (37.3 points per game), third-down conversions (49.5%), and first downs (328). Individually, Dooley allowed just one sack in 428 opportunities and was Boise State’s top-rated pass blocker in five games, including the MW Championship win over No. 20 UNLV (Dec. 6) and the Fiesta Bowl against Penn State (Dec. 31). He was also the team’s highest-graded run-blocking offensive lineman in four games and played every offensive snap in nine of Boise State’s 14 games.

McCormick, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound defensive back, played in all of his team’s 14 games and led the Vandals with three interceptions. He was second in tackles with 108 for one of the best defensive units in the Big Sky Conference. He was named to the First Team All-Big Sky defense, a First Team Football Championship Subdivision All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, and a Second Team All-American by FCS Football Central. He was also awarded the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association 24th Annual Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
