Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 70 appearances, Dooley has built a profile defined by consistency in the tight exchanges — a reliable presence both with ball in hand and as a defensive force. His tackle numbers stand out as his most telling contribution, averaging nearly six per match over more than 2 500 minutes of action, with a single-game peak of 16 that signals he can shoulder a heavy defensive burden when required. His carrying work is steady rather than explosive, reflecting the functional, ground-gaining role expected of a loosehead prop at this level.
