Jonathan Dally is a former professional American football quarterback. A dual-threat, Dally played college football at Cal Poly and later was the co-MVP for both the 2014 and 2015 Italian bowl championship games in the Italian Football League (IFL).

Early life

[edit]

Dally played high school football at Ernest Righetti High in Santa Maria, California.[1] He earned All-Pac 5 League honors as a junior and senior quarterback, while also playing defensive back for the Warriors.[2]

Collegiate career

[edit]

Standing 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, Dally played his first two college seasons at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, before signing a National Letter of Intent in December 2006 to transfer to Cal Poly University, an FCS program in San Luis Obispo, California.[3] As a sophomore, he was selected to the All-Western State Conference Team and earned AHC's Team MVP award.[4]

Despite playing only two seasons at Cal Poly, Dally's combined 75 passing and rushing touchdowns totaled a school career record, which would later be matched by Chris Brown.[5] In a 2007 game against Weber State, Dally set a program record for touchdown passes in a game, with six, and tied the single-game record in 2008 versus Southern Utah.[6] In 2008, his passer-efficiency rating of 171.6 led the country at the FCS level. Following the 2008 regular season, Dally was selected to the All-Great West Conference First Team[7] and received two write-in votes for seven total points in the balloting for the Walter Payton Award.[8]
