A Quandale Dingle is an advanced technique employed at the high school level of football in which a player of below average height but above average weight for a given position is given the football usually as part of a larger
trick play. It is often employed in desperate game situations where the chances of winning are slim.
The move was named after one of the greatest high school offensive guards of all time, Quandale Dingle, but its use in game scenarios is highly controversial as its overall effectiveness depends almost entirely on the motivation of the player with the ball. It has also lead to some
high-profile career ending injuries, which is why its use has not been adopted at the college or NFL levels.
