Keith Kveton, Dobie High School Class of 1977, was a standout football player who went on to letter four years at Rice University, starting three seasons at center and serving as team co-captain as a senior. He earned UPI All-Southwest Conference second-team honors in 1980 and helped lead Rice to its best record in seven years, including wins over LSU, Texas A&M, and Arkansas. After college, Kveton signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders, becoming the first Dobie alum to sign an NFL contract.
