Jarret Doege (DAY-gee;[2] born December 5, 1997) is an American professional football quarterback for the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at Bowling Green, West Virginia and Troy.

Early years[edit]

Doege played at Lubbock–Cooper High School in Lubbock, Texas. Although he passed for 3,363 yards and 33 touchdowns during his senior season, he was not heavily recruited.[3] Rated as the No. 55 pro–style quarterback in the country by 247Sports.com,[4] he committed to Bowling Green on March 28, 2016.[5]

College career[edit]

Bowling Green[edit]

As a freshman at Bowling Green, Doege battled with James Morgan throughout the season for the starting quarterback position, eventually winning the job by the end of the season.[6] In seven games, he passed for 1,381 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.[7]

Doege was named the starting quarterback at Bowling Green for his sophomore season after Morgan's transfer to FIU.[8] In his first season as the starter, he passed for 2,660 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.[7] The team, however, struggled as they went 3–9 and fired head coach Mike Jinks after the season.[9]

West Virginia[edit]

On May 8, 2019, Doege announced that he was entering the transfer portal and leaving Bowling Green.[10] Eight days later, he committed to West Virginia under head coach Neal Brown, who had coached his brother Seth as an offensive coordinator at Texas Tech.[11] He was redshirted, but he was able to play in four games under the NCAA's new transfer rules. Playing behind starter Austin Kendall, he passed for 818 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.[7]

Doege beat out Kendall to start for West Virginia before the 2020 season.[12] During the 2020 season, he threw for 2,587 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions while West Virginia finished with a 6–4 record.[7][13] On December 31, 2021, Doege announced he would enter the transfer portal once again.

Western Kentucky[edit]

On January 16, 2022, Doege announced he would transfer to Western Kentucky. However, he lost the quarterback competition during fall camp, and would enter the transfer portal for the third time.

Troy[edit]

On August 18, 2022, Doege announced he would transfer to Troy.[14] During the season, Troy beat Western Kentucky 34–27 on October 1. Doege came in the game for injured starter Gunnar Watson and completed 7 of 8 passes for 71 yards and 2 touchdowns.[15] Doege referenced a similar quote by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith when he said, "They wrote me off, I didn't write back though." via Instagram after the game.
