Keith Robert Dorney (born December 3, 1957) is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons in the 1970s and 1980s. He played college football for Pennsylvania State University, and received All-American honors. Dorney was chosen in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft, and played for the NFL's Detroit Lions during his entire professional career.
Dorney was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Growing up in Macungie, Pennsylvania, he played high school football at Emmaus High School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, where he competed in the East Penn Conference (the forerunner to the Lehigh Valley Conference), which is known for its success in producing collegiate and NFL football talent. In his autobiography, Dorney dramatically recounts how he simultaneously tackled the opposing quarterback and running back during a handoff in a goal line stand. It resulted in a serious concussion, that produced some minor anterograde amnesia.
Dorney attended Pennsylvania State University, where he played for coach Joe Paterno's Penn State Nittany Lions football team from 1975 to 1978. As a senior in 1978, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American and an Academic All-American. He earned a bachelor of science in insurance and real estate from Penn State in 1979, and a master's degree in education from the University of San Francisco. In tribute of his play at Penn State, Dorney was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
