“My time at WKU has been very special and I am looking forward to the opportunity to come back for my sixth year to build on what we’ve started this season,” Doughty said. “Having to deal with injuries for two seasons was really tough and I never would have made it through without my faith in God and the support from my coaches, teammates and the athletic department staff.”
Doughty and his Hilltopper teammates begin full preparations Thursday for their Bahamas Bowl appearance December 24th. The team takes on Central Michigan at 11 a.m. central that day.
