Doughty played tailback and wingback for the University of Michigan from 1969 to 1971. He gained 2,347 all-purpose yards for the Wolverines, including 1,464 rushing yards, 518 receiving yards, and 365 yards on kickoff returns. Doughty earned freshman of the year honors by winning the John Maulbetsch award.
Doughty made his debut for Michigan under first-year head coach Bo Schembechler in 1969.
The Bleacher Report's story "The Mellow Men of Michigan: Bo Schembechler's Gridiron Sons" traces the origins of Doughty and his six groundbreaking Wolverine classmates Billy Taylor, Reggie McKenzie, Thom Darden, Butch Carpenter, Mike Taylor and Mike Oldham. In 1968, these young men became the largest group of African American athletes on scholarship in Michigan history. In Doughty's first two games for Michigan (also Schembechler's first two games as Michigan's head coach), he rushed for 138 yards (including an 80-yard touchdown run on his first carry) in a 42–14 win against Vanderbilt and 191 yards in a 45–7 win against Washington. Doughty sustained injuries early in the season that slowed him down and allowed Billy Taylor to move from backup to starting tailback. Doughty did rush for 100 yards one more time during the 1969 season, in a 51–6 win against Iowa. He totaled 732 yards for the 1969 Michigan Wolverines football team. Doughty sustained an injury on Christmas Day while practicing for the 1970 Rose Bowl. Doughty was moved to the wingback position and started all 12 games at that position for the 1970 and 1971 Michigan Wolverines football team. He scored three touchdowns in a 35–6 victory over Illinois in October 1971.
After the 1971 season, Doughty was selected by UPI as a second-team wide receiver on the 1971 All-Big Ten Conference football team. Doughty was selected to play on the 1972 Coaches All American and College All Star Team as the starting wide receiver.
Doughty graduated from Michigan in 1972 with a bachelor of science degree in education.
