As a senior, he threw 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns in his 1980 State Finalist season at Port Arthur.

As quarterback for the University of Texas at Austin, Coach Dodge started 23 games and notched a 19-4 record from 1983 to 1985. He began his coaching career immediately after graduation. In 2004, he was named Head Coach for the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) North All-Stars. In 2006, he was the Offensive Coordinator for the Army All-American game, and in 2007 he served as the Head Coach for the Army All-American game.
