If the option offense was a naval fleet, then Navy QB Ricky Dobbs is it Admiral.

The Midshipmen QB is our Fantasy College Blitz 2009 Independent Fantasy Player of the Year, and highlights the FCB 2009 Independent All-Fantasy Team.

Dobbs (photo, thanks Scout.com), a junior from Douglasville, GA (Douglas County HS), led the Middies with 786 yards rushing and 22 rushing TDs, while throwing for 752 yards and another 4 TDs (stats through November 21st games).

With his 22 rushing TDs, and, with three games left to go in the 2009 season (including a bowl game for bowl-eligible Navy), Dobbs is on track to break…possibly shatter…the NCAA FBS record for rushing TDs in a single-season by a QB (tied with current Florida QB Tim Tebow, who rushed for 22 TDs in 2007).

Dobbs, however, is more than just stats.  He led the Middies to an upset of Notre Dame in South Bend a few weeks ago.  Also, in the season opener, Dobbs and Navy nearly pulled one of the biggest upsets of the decade, losing 30-26 to Ohio State in Columbus.

Joining Dobbs on the Independent All-Fantasy Team are…

Michael Floyd – Notre Dame: He would have had more than 710 yards and 7 TDs receiving had he not been sidelined a few games due to injury
