Western Kentucky QB Brandon Doughty will be back in 2015 after being granted a sixth-year waiver by the NCAA.
The school announced the decision on Wednesday. Doughty was injured in the 2011 and 2012 seasons and threw a combined 25 passes in those two seasons. After redshirting in 2010 he suffered a knee injury in 2011.
"My time at WKU has been very special and I am looking forward to the opportunity to come back for my sixth year to build on what we've started this season," Doughty said in a team statement. "Having to deal with injuries for two seasons was really tough and I never would have made it through without my faith in God and the support from my coaches, teammates and the athletic department staff. The players in that locker room are like brothers to me, and I am blessed to get to go through one more season with them."
This season Doughty has thrown for 4,344 yards and 44 touchdowns. Against Marshall, who WKU beat 67-66 in overtime for the Thundering Herd's first loss of the season, Doughty threw for 491 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions.
He threw for 593 yards in a three-OT loss to Middle Tennessee and 569 yards in a win over Bowling Green to start the season.
Western Kentucky finished the regular season 7-5 and plays Central Michigan on December 24 in the Bahamas Bowl.
