Dougherty was raised in Collierville, Tennessee by Geoff and Diane Dougherty and was a three-year letterwinner at Collierville High School under head coach Jeff Munier. In his final season with the school, he pitched
86 strikeouts over 59 innings, finishing with an ERA of 0.71. Dougherty joined the Ole Miss bullpen in his freshman year as a redshirt, but by the end of the season had emerged as a reliable relief pitcher.
