Rated as a three-star recruit by both ESPN and Rivals.com, Doughty was named an FACA North-South All-Star, a Dade-Broward All-Star and was named to the First-Team All-Broward County by the Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel.
Originally, Doughty had committed to Florida Atlantic before signing with WKU for the 2010 recruiting class.

Doughty redshirted the 2010 season.
Doughty made his college football debut for the Hilltoppers in a 40–14 loss to Navy. Making a relief appearance, Doughty completed 12 of 21 passes for 102 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Still, his performance was enough to earn him the starting job the next week at home against Indiana State. However, after only three plays (and one completion for four yards), Doughty suffered a knee injury which ended his freshman season.
As a redshirt sophomore, Doughty saw limited action as a relief quarterback, appearing in two games against Austin Peay and Southern Miss. In these games, Doughty completed one of three pass attempts for seven yards.
