College Career
Dorenbos originally attended Golden West Junior College in Huntington Beach, California. During his freshman year, one of his friends who was attending University of Texas at El Paso, Paul Tessier, called him and asked him if he could be the long snapper for the Miners who desperately needed one. However, Dorenbos was not the long snapper at Golden West at the time; he played linebacker and fullback. He ended up taking some video footage from high school, added footage of the Golden West long snapper, and sent it to the coaches at UTEP. He was eventually recruited and became the long snapper for UTEP in 23 games over three seasons. He averaged almost 10 tackles each year at UTEP on punt coverage.
