Demarcus Dobbs (born November 30, 1987) is an American football defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He played college football for the University of Georgia. ==Early years== Dobbs was born on November 30, 1987 in Savannah, Georgia, and attended Calvary Baptist Day School, where he played high school football. When Dobbs was seven years old, he left home and moved into Bethesda Home for Boys with his brother Daniel. He excelled in school and was recruited to play football at Calvary Baptist Day by Danny Britt, the current athletic director at Benedictine Military School. Before high school, "Demarcus had never played football before. Calvary just wanted to give him an education," said Britt. "At that point, I asked him if he would be interested in trying football." Through his freshman and junior years at Calvary Baptist, he remained close with Britt and his family, before eventually being offered to move in with them during his senior year of high school. "Our girls were very small – just 4 and 5 years old at the time – and we were poor. We wondered, 'Can we raise a teenage boy? Can we feed another child?'" said Britt's wife, Stephanie. He moved in with the Britt's in 2005, forming a close bond with their two daughters. "The girls have always been so excited to be with me, and it's funny when you see us together – I'm so big, and they're so small," said Dobbs.〔 At Calvary Baptist, he played both tight end and defensive end. As a tight end in his senior year, he caught 14 passes for 259 yards and four touchdowns. He was named to the All-Coastal Empire team as a tight end. On defense, he recorded 78 tackles and six sacks. He was named to the All-Region first team as a defensive end. Dobbs also played high school basketball for Calvary Baptist, being named to the ''Savannah Morning News'' All-City First Team in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.georgiadogs.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/dobbs_demarcus00.html )〕 After his senior season in football, he was rated as a three-star recruit by ''Rivals.com''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sports.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-DeMarcus-Dobbs-38432;_ylt=AvoUIxNrLAGMAWOy1vabVDBDPZB4 )〕 and as a four-star recruit by ''Scout.com''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=1804182 )〕 He was recruited by Ball State University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://savannahnow.com/news/2010-01-31/family-opens-home-hearts-uga-defensive-end-demarcus-dobbs )〕 University of Georgia, Auburn University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, before ultimately accepting a scholarship to play for the Georgia Bulldogs football team.〔 Demarcus Dobbs is a supporter of his former school.
