Dodge prepped at Carroll High School of Southlake, Texas, where he was coached by his dad, Todd Dodge, and later Hal Wasson. Dodge played behind former Alabama Crimson Tide, and current New York Jets quarterback Greg McElroy. As a junior, Dodge gained 4,184 yards and 54 touchdowns passing, plus 1,119 yards and 13 scores rushing, in Todd Dodge's trademark no-huddle spread offense. His 54 TD passes tie fellow Southlake Carroll alumnus Chase Wasson for third all-time in Texas high school football history.
Southlake Carroll won the 5A Texas state championship in 2006 with a 43-29 win over Austin Westlake.
Playing for coach Wasson as a senior, Dodge threw for 3,445 yards and 39 touchdowns in 2007. Southlake Carroll lost to Abilene in the regional semifinals, ending their 58-game winning streak against Texas teams.
Growing up as a Texas Longhorns fan,[2] Dodge verbally committed to play for Mack Brown in February 2007. However, he later changed his mind, and eventually signed a letter of intent to play at University of North Texas for his father.[3] While at North Texas, he played quarterback and wide receiver. In January 2010, he announced his intention to leave North Texas and is currently enrolled at McNeese State University in Lake Charles where he will have two years of eligibility left to play football.[4] His father has also since left North Texas.
