At FAU At Florida Atlantic Brian Wright came to FAU in January of 2012. Aside from the rapid approaching signing day and Pete Rekstis was named the Owls defensive coordinator in March 2012. Rekstis came to FAU helping Carl Pelini put together the offensive coaching staff, Wright faced the task of converting FAU with 18 years of experience including 15 as a defensive coordinator, eight seasons at Mid-American to an up-tempo attack as opposed to the pro-style which had been the Owls mainstay since inception.

It ended the season ranked No. 27 nationally in pass defense. A primary reason was the play of senior began with the quarterbacks. Senior QB Graham Wilbert improved his efficiency by 68% moving Brent Harstad who earned second team All-Sun Belt honors and concluded his career fifth in the from 91.72 as a junior to 134.62. He reduced his interceptions to six after tossing double-digits in league with 103 tackles and was the only defensive back in the league to be listed among the eight. 2011. More importantly for the team, Wilbert spread the ball to eight different receivers for a score While Harstad's game gained recognition, juniors Jeremy McKnight and Keith Reaser combined for after tossing just seven touchdowns the previous season. Wright's system allowed Wilbert to look for 95 tackles.

They improved that rank by 21 spots in 2012 providing more options for the offense including nine starters. to work. The offense also lost a workhorse in the backfield with the graduation of Alfred Morris, who graduated and turned in an outstanding rookie season with the NFL's Washington Redskins. To off- set this loss, Wright and the offense saw seven individuals carry the ball more than once and not one ended the season with negative yardage. As a unit, they tallied just 38 yards less than the previous season with a dominate running back. Much of that success can be attributed to fewer sacks eliminat- ing the negative 179 yards lost by the previous season's quarterbacks. To exemplify the total improvement, FAU moved up 22 spots in the nation- al ranking for total yards by improv- ing its average yards per game by 102 yards per game. With one season and two spring seasons under their belts, FAU offense will draw upon the posi- tives gained in 2012 and will begin its ascent as each recruiting class adds to the compliment of players who fit the system.

Earned the squads Student-Athlete of the Year honors at the 2012 season ending banquet. He completed the equation, as he used his size and intelligence to sus- #9 tain a starting spot among a talent-rich corps of FAU tight ends who were asked #9 to use a different skill set as the Owls moved from a pro-style to a spread offense where more pass and run protection was needed. Dorvilus' strong in- game adjustments allowed him to serve as an experienced leader on the field. Due to the depth he was often apart of a two tight end set. He led FAU's 13 receivers with five touch downs and was third with 301 yards. He had multiple catches in all but three games in 2012. He recorded a career-high six receptions in FAU's victory over Troy, including two scores, the second a game-winning touchdown. He tallied a career-high 78 yards in the same game as well as a career-long 38-yard reception. Dorvilus leads all FAU receivers with four SBC touchdown catches, is third in league games only with 25.1 yards per game, third with 10.0 yards per catch and third in SBC catches with 19.
