After a tremendous high school career with the Radford Bobcats, Dobbins became the first African-American scholarship football player in Virginia Tech history in 1970 - and he was as humble a man as you've ever met.

When he finished up at Tech he taught distributive education in the Roanoke County School system for a year before heading to Volvo-White.
