Background

Early life

Dolac graduated from West Seneca East Senior High School in West Seneca, New York, where he was nominated for the Connolly Cup, and then spent one year at Milford Academy. He committed to playing college football for the Buffalo Bulls, joining the team as a preferred walk-on.

College career

In his first two collegiate seasons at the University at Buffalo in 2020 and 2021, Dolac recorded 44 tackles with six and a half being for a loss, and a sack and a half in 19 games. He had a breakout 2022 season, where he totaled 147 tackles with 14 being for a loss, four and a half sacks, seven pass deflections, and three forced fumbles, en route to being named first-team all-Mid-American Conference (MAC). In 2023, Dolac played in just four games due to a season-ending injury, finishing with 32 tackles, with three being for a loss, and an interception. Following the season, Dolac chose to transfer to Utah State, but after the spring semester opted to return to Buffalo. Midway through the 2024 season, he was named a midseason All-American after leading the nation in tackles to that point. After the regular season, he was named a Consensus All-American. He was the first player in school history to be named to the first team by the Associated Press, The Sporting News or the Walter Camp Football Foundation. After a win in the 2025 Bahamas Bowl, he finished the season with a school-record 168 total tackles. His total tackles and 177 interception return yards also led the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.
