Char-Ron Dorsey, a former Cowboys offensive lineman and Florida State star, passes away at 46.

Char-ron Dorsey, a former offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, passed away on Monday as a result of stroke complications. 46 was his age.

After playing football for two seasons with the Cowboys and Houston Texans and winning an NCAA national title at Florida State, Dorsey coached youth football programs in his hometown of Jacksonville.

For the last twenty years, Dorsey’s football coach at Terry Parker High School, Michael Holloway, verified his passing to the Florida Times-Union.

Thinking about my brother, I’m just at a loss for words,” Holloway said to the Times-Union. “Up until now, we have been doing this for a very long time. We observe that children we once coached are now either coaching or are parents. Numerous children who have had the chance to advance to the next level have benefited from his influence.”

Dorsey was a right lineman who was named All-ACC and played for Florida State’s 1999 undefeated national championship squad. The Seminoles star was selected by the Texans in 2002 as an expansion player after being selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2001 draft. A year later, knee surgery put a sad end to his promising NFL career.

Following his playing career, Dorsey began working as a coach in Jacksonville at middle and high schools. As a defensive tackle at The Bolles School, he was named an all-state selection.
