Dooley, I'll never get a chance to shake your hand, but know you have someone out there that admires you.

[@Anthonys_S]

Well said

[@49gagah]

Now those folks are the real heros.. Good guy.

[@ThorsonWiles]

I love the videos where walk-ons who bust their [butts] and rightfully earn their scholarships. I'm always so happy for those kids. This, though, takes the cake. Good man, Dooley.

[@CommonUsername]

He might’ve lost his scholarship but I bet he gained a groomsman

[@philniall9518]

Zack Dooley really gets it! An amazing human being.

[@Trusted_Advisor]

That is so cool. Sacrifice for your teammate! The team spirit on that team is already excellent and will go up another notch.

[@iuaump4]

That's the VALUE of SPORTSMANSHIP and RESPECT

[@johnrieck1846]

The way his teammates react priceless

[@Anthonys_S]

I don’t know you , I’m not in the semi country and will probably never know you bit Dooley god bless you. Beautiful moment of kindness .

[@lovewoman781]

My heart is happy

[@jamiedouglas2809]

What an amazing human, love this ❤

[@gijoe1of3]

And that is what a real man looks like…. Good job sir and great job mom and dad…

[@browneyedgirl6050]

Such a beautiful gift!

[@hookelasanborn8771]

This is true “Aloha”. The good feeling that makes you quit breathing. This is how it’s supposed to be. Community.

[@Anthonys_S]

What is it aloha actually means ? Honestly I thought it purely meant hello

[@syvajarvi2289]

@@Anthonys_SAloha means many things. Hello, Goodbye, community, love…. It’s the spirit of aloha. Ohana means family…. The Kama a’ina spirit is the spirit of aloha. I lived there many years a long long time ago. I left my heart in the islands when I left but I keep the spirit of aloha with me and live it every day.

[@dennishardin4693]

This gentleman will go far and just that alone is a great achievement and accomplishment. I’m wondering how many more of these SIL players would do that so a player could play. I can answer that now, NONE, BECAUSE ITS ALL ABOUT THEIR MONEY.Congratulations Sir your an inspiration to others I hope.

[@motomatt6752]

O Dooley rules for sure. God bless this man

[@Hawkrn1]

Well Done Mr. Dooley! You should be on their wall of fame!

Touching story

[@bizzz.R]

🥲God Bless you Dooley.

[@peterstanford1831]

There is good in the world.These two men are heroes for two different reasons. This is the things that could make America Great not this other crap I keep hearing.

[@dego7757]

Thats an Alpha right there taking a hit for one of the team. All the best lads 👍🏻

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Not all heroes wear capes. Some are good enough with just a helmet.

[@pirimid9]

That was great

[@vinnyespada4350]

Dooley you are a real gift from God my dude God bless you and all urs... And conti you are one lucky mfer lol

[@Court-fl8ck]

Would love to know the young man that gave up his scholarship. Thats a solid human being. I know what that scholarship means. Cool stuff.

[@rayray-cm2zj]

Unbelievable

[@UnitedSchemerCA]

Love

[@T4ore.]

heres hoping they can get a winning season

[@headachegiverknouse3953]

They've already won. The game is nothing compared to this.

[@palerider2143]

Sometimes in life, you and others will get the short end of the stick, but never give up trying to give someone your stick (😳) to make their’s longer.

[@patkennedy9491]

What?

[@rl4416]

this guy .

[@harold4371]

Son - Mom and Dad. I did something great today. I gave up my Scholarship Mom and Dad - YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!?! Mom

[@user-tj9kg6bl1h]

Hell yeah

[@Brandon-qn1ws]

Still one of my favorite BarDown videos lol

[@pejpm]

Never ceases to amaze me how these absolutely backwards situations that can only happen in America (selling plasma for education) are somehow spun as being heartwarming

[@nwproductions5763]

Example of a man using his NIL money the right way. And a perfect example of why cutting scholarships for players you sign major NIL deals needs to be done.

[@roberthudson1959]

Great story, but the Toledo women's basketball team was allowed to be a scholarship over the limit for one season with the stipulation that they were one scholarship short the next.

[@bazzakrak]

85 scholarships for 1 team, now think about how many of those could be used for other athletes so they could relax some more and think about their education instead of having to scramble lfor money to pay their fees.

[@mattloveskelly1]

Just have them take an NIL deal worth the education prices.

[@larrykile3190]

Too bad they waited four years and he is almost done with school.

[@PraetorianAU]

Or perhaps education should be free so that everyone has a fair chance in life, not just the ones that can afford it. It will only make your country stronger with a more educated population.

[@richshaler4190]

I am confused why a guy who is competing for the starting tackle position needs to have a teammate give him his scholarship? I get the whole practice squad thing and the guys like Rudy but why was a guy who was good enough to start on the offensive line or at the very least be a regular player need to go through this to begin with?

[@okiesailor5417]

Listen to the video again, he says why.

[@VMX1.]

fn right

[@PhilipMarcYT]

Real men's football! Not that wimpy stuff called soccer.

[@0ffic1alAarOn]

bro stop bringing in others sports this is about football stay on that genre 😂

Waiting for DeSantis to call this "woke."

[@Trusted_Advisor]

you don't understand woke. no this is not woke.

[@devildoll9929]

@@Trusted_Advisor Would you mind defining it for me, please?

[@Trusted_Advisor]

@@devildoll9929 Sure - Here's what wikipedia says: "Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism." This was one person being generous to another person - which is a great thing no matter your politics. I bet you are very generous! Have a great evening!

[@devildoll9929]

@@Trusted_Advisor And that is the definition that DeSantis uses to label things as "woke?"

[@Trusted_Advisor]

@@devildoll9929 idk. It's the Wikipedia def. You ask your friend DeSantis for his def, ok?

This, is a team. What you saw done? REAL SPORTSMANSHIP... Ain;t nothing better.

[@joshuaford507]

The guy is getting Nil money and doesnt need his scholarship like his homie does. Awesome.
