A standout in both football and baseball, Doherty was one of Delaware's most outstanding athletes during the 1940s.

In football, he was a member of teams that posted a combined record of 21-4-1 and won the 1946 small college national title. He earned third team All-American honors as a halfback in 1946 when he set a school record by rushing for 220 yards on just six carries vs. Gettysburg. As a fleet-footed outfielder and leadoff hitter in baseball, Doherty led the 1946 Blue Hen team to a 10-3-2 record and the Middle Atlantic Conference title. He set a school record with 25 stolen bases in 1947. He passed away in May, 2008.
