Doughty played tailback and wingback for the University of Michigan from 1969 to 1971. He gained 2,347 all-purpose yards for the Wolverines, including 1,464 rushing yards, 518 receiving yards, and 365 yards on kickoff returns. Doughty earned freshman of the year honors by winning the John Maulbetsch award. Doughty made his debut  for Michigan under first-year head coach Bo Schembechler in 1969. The Bleacher Report's story "The Mellow Men of Michigan: Bo Schembechler's Gridiron Sons" traces the origins of Doughty and his six groundbreaking Wolverine classmates Billy Taylor, Reggie McKenzie, Thom Darden, Butch Carpenter, Mike Taylor and Mike Oldham. In 1968, these young men became the largest group of African American athletes on scholarship in Michigan history. In Doughty's first two games for Michigan (also Schembechler's first two games as Michigan's head coach), he rushed for 138 yards (including an 80-yard touchdown run on his  first carry) in a 42–14 win against Vanderbilt and 191 yards in a 45–7 win against Washington. Doughty sustained injuries early in the season that slowed him down and allowed Billy Taylor to move from backup to starting tailback. Doughty did rush for 100 yards one more time during the 1969 season, in a 51–6 win against Iowa. He totaled 732 yards for the 1969 Michigan Wolverines football team. Doughty sustained an injury on Christmas Day while practicing for the 1970 Rose Bowl. Doughty was moved to the wingback position and started all 12 games at that position for the  1970 and 1971 Michigan Wolverines football team. He scored three touchdowns in a 35–6 victory over Illinois in October 1971. After the 1971 season, Doughty was selected by UPI as a second-team wide receiver on the 1971 All-Big Ten Conference football team. Doughty was selected to play on the 1972 Coaches All American and College All Star Team as the starting wide receiver. Doughty graduated from Michigan in 1972 with a bachelor of science degree in education. Professional football. Doughty played professional football as wide receiver for the Baltimore Colts from 1972 to 1979. He appeared in 103  games for the Colts, totaling 219 receptions for 3,547 yards and 24 touchdowns. He earned the nickname "Shake and Bake" during his years with the Colts, and the nickname was also extended to the 1975 Baltimore Colts offense. In 1979, Doughty left the team for two days claiming that he was being subtly downgraded by Colts' coach Ted Marchibroda. The "Baltimore Afro-American" referred to the Colts' treatment of Doughty as "business as usual at Memorial Stadium," noting that Raymond Chester had complained the prior year that "an attitude of racism" on the Colts caused quarterback Bert Jones to "look  away" from him. Doughty was cut by the Colts in August 1980 after struggling during the pre-season with a hamstring pull. He was the sixth leading receiver in Colts' history when his NFL career ended. Shake and Bake Family Fun Center. After retiring from the Colts, Doughty announced plans to build the Shake and Bake Family Recreation Center in the Upton neighborhood of Baltimore. The project was supported by a $3.5 million loan from the City of Baltimore. Disputes over financing jeopardized the project in 1982, and disputes with construction workers also drew press coverage. The project was  ultimately built with $4.7 million in development loans from the City of Baltimore, $150,000 invested by Doughty, and $1.2 million invested by four limited partners. When the project, renamed the Shake and Bake Family Fun Center, opened in October 1982 managed by Doughty came in on time and under budget, Doughty called it a dream come true and "my Super Bowl ring". The $5.2 million project was described by the "Baltimore Afro-American" as "Doughty's gift to the inner city." The structure included a 40-lane bowling alley, a roller-skating rink, a sporting goods  store, an "electronic game arcade," and two fast-food restaurants. In February 1984, "Black Enterprise" magazine wrote a story on the center, noting that the center had grossed $1 million in its first year and received 10,000 visits per week. The article concluded: "The complex is such a success that mayors from large cities around the U.S., studying inner city revitalization programs, have visited it." In January 1985, shootings at the center and financial difficulties drew negative press to the project. After loan delinquencies mounted in 1987 Doughty and his limited partners sold the facility to the City. . In  2017 Shake and Bake was featured in "Baltimore: The Rise of Charm City" a radio series by WEAA of Morgan State University that described Shake and Bake as "one of Baltimore's iconic structures that was built by African Americans and founded by Glenn Doughty". Over one million patrons have passed through the center over the thirty years of operation. On March 23, 2018 Mayor Cathy Pugh and Glenn Doughty joined together with state dignitaries and citizens from the Upton neighborhood celebrated the grand reopening of Shake and Bake. The theme was "The Bake is Back". The city of Baltimore  and the state of Maryland committed nearly $5 million in new funding to upgrade the center. The 17,000 sq. ft. Roller rink is considered by many to be the best in the nation. Later years. In 1985 Doughty moved with his family to St. Louis, Missouri. He co-founded a company called Takeoff Video Educational Excellence. The company produced videos designed to show positive multicultural role models for use in schools. In 1994, Takeoff was reorganized as Career Information Training Network. Doughty is the company's CEO.
