Dayton’s Dugat commits to TCU

DAYTON — Dayton’s A.J. Dugat has been very busy since the Broncos’ march to the Class 4A Division II football semifinals.

The junior was a starter on the basketball team and is a member of the Bronco 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams.

Still, Dugat found time to make a big decision — he verbally committed to play football at Texas Christian University, beginning in 2009.

“Everything was close together. It’s a family there,†Dugat said. “Offensively, I will play a little bit of everywhere. They run the same thing that we do out of the shotgun.â€

As a multiple weapon offensively, Dugat will fit into the Horned Frogs’ system. Last season he had 311 yards on 39 rushes and scored eight touchdowns in addition to his 67 receptions for 957 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Dugat was also a standout in the defensive secondary.

Entering his final season at Dayton, Dugat is one of the most highly sought athletes in the state. He is ranked 46th in the state by the Dallas Morning News and is ranked 74th in the country as a four star athlete by Scout.com. The same service has Dayton quarterback Cody Green listed at 23rd in the nation.

Since the 2007 season came to an end, Dugat has been preparing for his senior campaign. Thanks to offseason workouts, he has added eight pounds to his frame, now at 211 pounds, while maintaining his 4.5 forty speed.

This past basketball season he was ranked 14th in the Southeast Texas region by Hoopsinsider.com.

As with all commitments this time of year, Dugat’s is subject to change. He intends to visit the University of Houston and will be attending camps in Houston as well as Baylor and the University of Texas.
