Michael "Dee" Dowis was an football quarterback for the United States Air Force Academy from 1986 to 1989. Generally regarded as one of the best option quarterbacks ever, Dowis finished sixth in Heisman trophy voting in 1989, ahead of Emmitt Smith, and set the NCAA Division I career record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 3,612. (This record was topped by Antwaan Randle-El of the Indiana University in 2001.) In 1989, he was the fifth player in Division I history to both pass and rush for 1000 yards, was an honorable mention All American and was WAC Offensive Player of the Year as well. He still holds the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a game, with 6 against San Diego State in 1989. He set the WAC single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in the same game, with 249.

Dowis graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1989. He grew up in Franklin County, Georgia, and as of 1999, was an assistant coach for the Air Force Academy's football team.
