Derrick Dockery's brother, Cedric Dockery, will be available as a late round pick in the NFL draft. He missed half of the 2006 season with a torn ACL, but returned to the field in 2007 and in 2008 he was named honorable mention All-Big 12 by The Associated Press for his Offensive Guard play with Texas.
