NSCF 30 - Everything Thread

[NSCF]

NationStates College Football - Season 30

Breathe deep and take it all in as the tubas' rumbles reverberate through all the iconic campus stadia again. Each one, packed with generations of alumni returning to partake in the traditions of their beloved alma mater, is ready for that combustion of kinky action. The poppin' aromas of molly-popcorn and beer sift out through the bleachers full of marijuana smoke. The bright lights shine down on armoured teams battling under the night sky, school bragging rights and a gruelling summer of work on the line. Ah, yes. It's college football season. Glory, Drama, Pride.

The thirtieth edition of NationStates College Football is upon us. In this thread, you will post your team's roster and all in-character roleplays. These can be game reports, character dialogues, or really anything you like. Any out-of-character questions should be directed towards the discussion thread or telegram.

Post-NSCF 29 Ranks (To-be-Updated in Coming Days)

NSCF 30 Recruiting Spreadsheet (Thanks Banija and Ranoria!)

...

With 40 entrants, there will be five conferences. Each conference will have eight teams that are split into two divisions of four teams each.

In this ten matchday fixture there will be both a double round robin within division (six games), and a single round robin against opposing division (four games). How it will work out, for scorination purposes, is that a full round robin (7 matchdays), will be played out first, before last three matchdays feature the single round robin. At the conclusion of the conference stage, the top team in each division will face off in the conference championship game, which will decide the conference title.

Twelve teams will make the Playoffs: the five conference champions, the four highest-ranked schools ranked by OSPI or a tentative replacement on line and, finally, three wildcards selected by the NSCF Committee. These twelve teams will then be seeded in the bracket purely by OSPI or a tentative replacement. Higher seeds will have a home advantage until the final, which will take place at a neutral venue. Any nation can put together a bid to host the NSCF Championship (IC only) before the start of Non-Conference week when it will then be voted on by the NSCF Committee.

New and returning players alike are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the NSCF procedure here. The regular season will be double round-robin, for a total of 10 games. Games will be scorinated three times a week: on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Scores will be posted in this thread at a time determined by each conference's designated scorer. After the ten-game conference schedule, there will be a "Non-Conference Week", with each team playing up to three games against opposition from other conferences. These games will not count toward conference championships, but WILL affect playoff seedings. All Non-Conference games must be arranged by the teams playing them (you can use the discussion thread for this). Once confirmed by BOTH parties, match-ups should be telegrammed to NSCF to be added to the schedule.

Bowls
In addition to the playoffs, there also a few consolation bowl games for teams that do not reach the postseason. If your nation proposes a bowl game to host, you are responsible for inviting the teams yourself if it does not have automatic parameters for selection. The Pioneer Bowl is a traditional game for the two best newcomer teams not in the playoffs. After that, NSCF will not recognize any bowl game involving a team with an OSPI below 0.450, or its proposed alternative.

"The Correct Choice?"

“- Sadeg State!” Brooklyn Beck said with a rush of excitement. Though she had made the decision a week prior, it was the first time she’d said the words out loud. She revealed the hat from under the table and carefully placed it on her head. The gold and navy blue looked bright compared to the muted background colors of the livestream set.

“I’m looking forward to staying in my hometown and showing the world what I’m capable of,” Brooklyn continued after a moment to collect herself. It wasn’t as sharp as the thrill of playing, but there was still some adrenaline coursing through her. She looked up and saw her father, Dustin Beck, pumping his fist slightly and leaning back in his seat, as if he was relieved. That tracked.

She turned her attention to the tabletop where the three envelopes sat, grabbing the one labeled ‘Sadeg State’ and pulling out the letter of intent from within. It was almost automatic as she grabbed a pen and signed her name at the bottom of the letter. Now all that remained was to send it across town and Brooklyn would officially be a Skyhawk.

“Thank you to everybody who dropped into the livestream today. This is just the beginning of my story, and I’m glad you all were here to witness it. Until next time!” Brooklyn waved at the camera, and her mother Elie stopped the stream.

The few local reporters in the room proceeded to ask Brooklyn a few minor questions, which she answered in turn. They left soon after, leaving just the Becks left on the court. It was probably a little overkill to use the school gym as a venue for the short stream and pseudo press conference, but Dustin had previously said it was necessary. He was afraid that if they had the stream at home, media members would attempt to set up shop outside the house.

As soon as the room was vacated, Elie rushed over and wrapped Brooklyn in a tight hug.

“You did so good Brookie!” Elie said dotingly.

“You’re just saying that because I committed to State,” Brooklyn half-jokingly replied.

“Sweetie, you know I’d love you the same no matter what choice you made.” Elie scrunched her face. “I just mean that you handled yourself with great poise and professionalism in your first major media moment. It’s really important!”

“Indeed.” Dustin stepped closer, arms folded but wearing a proud expression. “You’ll get more instruction on how to approach the media during your time at State, but this is a good start. You’ve got natural instincts.”

“I get that a lot,” Brooklyn tilted her head at her father. She was only teasing when she said the line about committing to State to her mom, but she was sure that Dustin was extremely relieved that she’d made the ‘right’ choice. At least, what he considered to be the right choice.

“Because it’s true!” Dustin grinned. He stepped forward and gave Brooklyn a hug as well. After a moment, he pulled away with a perplexed expression. “I swear, you’re getting taller every day. Like one of the damn weeds in the backyard.”

“I’m gonna need it,” Brooklyn sniffed. “Some of those college linemen are huge.”

“You’ve got that right.” Dustin clapped his hands together. “Alright, let’s break this down and head home.”

Brooklyn finally took out her phone on the drive home. Predictably, it was blowing up, and she had probably a hundred notifications to sort through. There were a lot of interactions on her Blurbr stream post of course, with fans of the three schools she considered making up most of the conversation. Excited Sadeg State fans ridiculing all the Cavsar fans for thinking they even had a chance, disappointed Cavsar fans trying their best to remain graceful, and annoyed Raikennax fans complaining about NSCF entries.

The group chat made of the North Craggold football seniors was filled with jubilation. Kevin Briggs and Mark Holmes led the charge of congratulations and hype. Julian Gallagher, meanwhile, had given a generic thumbs-up and nothing else. Brooklyn frowned when she noticed, but she figured she’d have to deal with that another time.

A few minutes later, Brooklyn realized that she couldn’t leave it for later. She got to her text messages, sorting through a couple from relatives and friends, and seeing that Julian had texted her.

“Congrats, B. Hope it works out for you.”

That was extremely peculiar, because none of the North Craggold football seniors used punctuation of any kind while messaging. Brooklyn immediately knew something was up, and the reason why was obvious. The moment she got home, she jogged up to her bedroom and dialed Julian’s number. After a few tense moments of ringing, he answered.

“What’s up?” Julian said flatly on the other end of the line.

“Hey, Jules.” Brooklyn replied, as casually as she could. “Are you free right now?”

“Probably,” Julian said vaguely. “What for?”

“I’m, uh, kinda hungry. Do you want to pick up some Outbox with me real quick?”

“Hm.”

“No big deal, I was just wondering,” Brooklyn tightened her lips awkwardly. This was extremely unlike Julian, all things considered. “You could drive, I could drive, I don’t care.”

“Fine,” Julian said after another beat of silence. “I’ll be there in a few.”

The line clicked before Brooklyn could say anything. She sighed, realizing she now had to tell her parents about these plans. They were just about to start cooking dinner, so this was definitely going to end well.

“Hey mom? Dad?” Brooklyn’s voice echoed through the front hallway as she zipped down the stairs.

“What’s up BB?” Dustin asked as Brooklyn appeared in the threshold of the kitchen.

“Can I, um …” Brooklyn trailed off, then decided to restructure the sentence. “I’m going to Outbox real quick. With Julian. Nothing serious, just for a bit. Is that okay?”

“Why?” Dustin narrowed his eyes. “We’re just about to start dinner. And I don’t want you taking the car out right now.”

“Julian’s gonna pick me up,” Brooklyn said hurriedly. “Also I’m probably not going to get anything, maybe just fries. I just need to talk to him right now.”

“Just don’t take too long, alright?” Elie butted in before Dustin could reply. “Dinner will probably be done in an hour, so be back before then.”

“Are we not going to discuss this?” Dustin turned to look at his wife, a little put off.

“She’s 19 years old, honey.” Elie shook her head. “There’s nothing wrong with her meeting a friend for a bit on a weekend.”

“Fine,” Dustin relented. “Like mom said though, back in an hour.”

“Thank you!” Brooklyn chirped, and she turned back towards the door. All things considered, that went better than expected.

A few minutes later, Julian’s little coupe rumbled onto Brooklyn’s block. Brooklyn jogged out to the curb and hopped in the passenger side.

“Hey,” Brooklyn started tentatively. “Sorry about this being short notice and all. Just felt like we needed to talk, or something.”

“Talk about what in particular?” Julian asked coldly. He put the car back in gear and started back down the road.

“I dunno,” Brooklyn replied. “Maybe we can start with why you’re acting so weird?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t bullshit me, Jules.” Brooklyn said suddenly. “Don’t pretend like nothing’s out of the ordinary. You’re not your usual self.”

“Hm,” Julian grunted, like he did on the phone call earlier.

“See? Like that. You never do that. Something’s bugging you, and I’m assuming it has to do with me, considering the fact that you’ve acted weird towards me.”

“Gee, Brooklyn, I wonder what could’ve caused that.” Julian rolled his eyes as he spotted the Outbox down the road, moving into the turn lane.

“What’s that supposed to mean? Did I do something to you? What-” the realization suddenly struck. Of course, it was the commitment to State.

“There she goes,” Julian gritted his teeth as they pulled into the Outbox parking lot. Without a word, he pulled into the drive thru.

“So you’re mad I chose Sadeg State over Cavsar, then?” Brooklyn turned in her seat to look at Julian. For some reason she was getting annoyed.

“Shut up, I’m about to order. What do you want?”

“Fries,” Brooklyn spat. “And a water. And also a sauce, I guess.”

“Hi, can I get an order of onion rings and an order of fries?” Julian leaned through the window. “I’ll also need two waters, and a Box Sauce for the fries. Thanks.”

The pair moved through the drive thru silently until Brooklyn shoved her arm across the car to give the cashier cash as soon as they got to the window.

“You don’t have to-” Julian started.

“I got it,” Brooklyn insisted, holding her arm out until the cashier took the money.

Once they got their food, Julian pulled into a parking spot so they could eat there.

“Enough stalling then,” Brooklyn said once she got her box of fries out of the bag, handing the box of onion rings over to Julian. “Do you have a problem?”

“Yes, Brooklyn, I have a fucking problem.” Julian scoffed. “Because you’ve completely fucked me over. I’m screwed.”

“How? Because I committed to State?”

“Yes, exactly. Man, you know I don’t have any other options. Cavsar’s the only top 100 school to even send me a letter. I either have to choose them or be stuck playing for some backwater school. And you know if I choose them, everybody here is going to call me a traitor. Coming home for breaks will be hell.”

“Jules, we already talked about this. This is your career. If anybody actually gives you shit, then they’re just stupid. You don’t have to pay attention to the opinions of idiots.”

“Easier said than done!” Julian groaned. “You were supposed to help me out, Brooklyn. I thought we were in this together. If you went to Cavsar nobody would’ve thought twice if I went too.”

“I have my own shit to deal with, you know that.”

“That doesn’t make it any easier.” Julian slumped in his seat. “I’d be alone there, B. I don’t know anyone. Nobody from Sadeg goes to Cavsar. I’d be stuck in the middle of nowhere with nobody playing for a stupid school. It’s just not worth it.”

“Doesn’t almost everyone deal with that?” Brooklyn asked. “That’s like the whole point of college. You go and meet new people and expand your circle and all that. That’s what it’s like for people who don’t live in a town with a big college like us. I’m sure there’s gonna be a dozen other guys in Cavsar’s recruiting class in the exact same boat as you.”

“I don’t know if I’m gonna be going to Cavsar anyway. I might not even do football. Maybe not even college. It just feels like I’m looking at a fork in the road, and all the forks suck.”

“Look at me, Jules.” Brooklyn shifted in her seat to look right at Julian, who reluctantly returned the eye contact. “You have an opportunity. An awesome one. There’s probably a hundred dudes who wish they had the same letter you have from Cavsar. There’s probably a thousand college football players who wish they had the chance to play in something like the NSCF, but know they won’t. Hell, Mark and Kevin might never play football again. You can’t waste this chance.”

“What if I don’t make it?” Julian appealed. “Then I’m a traitor and a failure.”

“Then you find another fork to take.” Brooklyn slugged him in the shoulder. “You can’t shy away just because you might take a big hit. Alligator arms don’t lead to big receptions. You go up for that damn ball, you snag it, and maybe you bounce off the hit and take it for six. Right now you’re just begging for the safety to pick it off on top of you.”

“It won’t be the same if the ball isn’t coming from you,” Julian looked at Brooklyn with a rueful glance.

“Hey, Logan Oakley is a great quarterback. It pains me to say it as a State fan, but he’s a baller. Probably better than me.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Julian muttered, grabbing another onion ring.

“What?”

“Nothing.” Julian said, trying to quickly swallow. “It’s … just hard to make the choice, is all. And you choosing Sadeg State didn’t make it easier. I’ve been all up in my head about it.”

“And I’m sorry for making it harder.” Brooklyn sighed. “You know I was struggling with my decision for what felt like forever. You were one of the biggest reasons I still considered Cavsar, honestly.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. But I ended up choosing State partly because I felt like you’d be alright without me. I really believe that.”

“I appreciate that.” Julian looked up at the ceiling of his car, like he was considering saying something else, but he didn’t.

“Hey, even if we end up playing against each other, I won’t hate you. I promise.” Brooklyn put her hand across the console, a small grin on her face.. “You’ll always be my teammate.”

“Sure,” Julian nodded with a small sheepish smile. “Teammates.” He brought his hand to shake Brooklyn’s, a single solid flick.

“You’re good, right?” Brooklyn eyed Julian carefully.

“I’m good.” Julian nodded, and though he didn’t seem terribly confident, Brooklyn found it acceptable.

“Alright, now take me home. My parents want me back for dinner.”

“You got it, B.” Julian put the car in reverse, and zipped back to the Beck household.

For now, it seemed like things were going to be fine. Brooklyn just prayed that this would be the extent of the college-related drama for the rest of her senior year.

Like all Drawkians, especially international caliber ones, Sadeg State's players are a top notch group with much to offer skill-wise. The offense primarily operates out of the shotgun with a back lining up alongside the QB, but the most common under-center formation has to be the I. The pistol make a common appearance, and don't be surprised to see a Wildcat every once in awhile. The run/pass split is around a 55/45, but with Brand Manlio's preferred QB recruits, don't be surprised to see many designed passes ending up in scrambles for big chunks of yards. Drag routes, slants, mid-distance crosses, posts, and corner routes are the most common in SSU's playbook. Runs are often a generic pitch, runs up the gut, or - Coach Manlio's favorite - option plays. SSU is known for having massive talent on the offensive side of the ball, especially in the backfield, but also lining up wide. Watch for tight end passes for huge gains, they're a common target in this scheme.

And while the team is renowned for its offense, you can't discount the defense. Talented shutdown corners and DBs are the hallmark and the pass rush is fantastic, but pass defense in the middle of the field leaves a lot to be desired from the Linebackers. The biggest issue about the Skyhawk's secondary is that they go for the ball too much - while this results in lots of turnovers, a missed pick obviously results in an opposing receiver in the open field. Blitzes sit on top of the playbook at SSU, just like many Drawkian books. Don't expect to run a similar running play twice, the front 7 is likely to come up with a counter blitz on the fly and smack the back for a loss of yards. Man coverage is called about 70/30 versus Zone coverage, another reason why missed interceptions are dangerous. Cover 2 Man coverage with a 4-3 front is the most common play the defense will run.

Special teams is known for its trick plays, but they don't run them as often as, say, the Grid Corps would. The SSU offense would be much more likely to stay out in 4th and under 2 than bring out the special teams for a fake or a regular punt/kick. Speaking of punts/kicks, the return game for the Skyhawks is also fearsome, with massively fast and shifty players returning most balls, not to mention the regularity of laterals during returns (not that they do much of that outside of special teams though). As far as kicking, the punters and kickers kick about as good as, say, college kickers or punters. Nothing special there, although they do err on the side of power over accuracy (good luck praying for a kick 6).

Also, see this dispatch about Drawkian physiology. If you don't want to deal with that though feel free to just handwave or ignore it, it's fine by me.

Style Modifier: +5

Similar to Sadeg State and other Drawkian teams that play on an international level, Cavsar University's roster has a lot to offer skill-wise. As far as tactics are concerned, Scott Linhart is an extremely balls-out style coach deserving of a +5 modifier. The spread offense is utilized most often, prioritizing space and the open field for the skill position players. Linhart exclusively recruits mobile quarterbacks, as he expects QBs to make plays with their feet (either designed or on the fly). Running backs are more likely to be quicker, lither guys than big bruisers, but there's usually one that can pack a punch if necessary (often the fullback). Vertical passing plays are quite common, and it's rare for passes to go to the flat or right past the line of scrimmage. Sadeg State is known for aiming at tight ends often, but Cavsar leans on them heavily. Thankfully, they nearly always net a Top 5 TE prospect every time they go for one, so it's not much of a weakness. The receivers, as you might guess, are quick and agile, but perhaps falter when it comes to catching in deep traffic. The playbook is probably 65/35 pass/rush, with shotgun formations being a vast majority of what you'll see.

The Cavsar defense is not known for being bruisers, save for the D-line. You can say that the Cavsar defense or secondary is their biggest weak spot, but their defensive line is always extremely exceptional. It's not uncommon for every starter on the D-line to come away with 1+ sacks on the game each. The secondary can leave some things to be desired, but they're good enough to keep the passing game at bay to allow the D-line to really work their magic. Like Sadeg State and many Drawkian defenses, man defense is often the default and will be what to expect. If you can beat man coverage, you'll have a way easier time against Cavsar, but don't count it as a win just yet. They probably blitz a little less than SSU, but they will still pepper them in often. After all, the D-line usually keeps the pressure happening just on their normal scheme. The defense defaults to nickel coverage most often, but any formation with 4 D-linemen can be expected.

The CavU special teams are not renowned for a lot of trickeration, but you'll see something special every once in awhile. However, they are absolutely aggressive on 4th down, and will usually keep the offense on the field if it's under 3rd and 5. Also, the Gladiators go for two every time, and I mean every time, unless it's a late game situation where a PAT is specifically necessary to preserve or make a win. The punters and kickers don't get a whole lot of work, but the return game is something to fear as well. The blocking is very solid and the quick shifty returners can make a lot happen in the blink of an eye. As far as kicking, the punters and kickers kick about as good as, say, college kickers or punters. Nothing special there, although they do err on the side of power over accuracy thanks to those long Drawkian legs.

Speaking of which, see this dispatch about Drawkian physiology. If you don't want to deal with that though feel free to just handwave or ignore it, it's fine by me.

Dietrich Stadium, constructed in 2012, features a capacity of 94,750 attendees, and is one of the toughest places to visit in college football. One of the largest stadiums in the country.

Team Philosophy

Offensive Style: Richardson tends to direct their plays from the I formation, only adopting a shotgun look if they have a lethal passer along with an obvious need to pass. Generally run 11, 12, or 13 personnel (1 running back, 1-3 tight ends). The run game is done with a power concept (i.e lots of double teams), taking advantage of highly recruited, big offensive linemen. Richardson's general philosophy is to pound the rock down the opposing team's throat and eat away at the clock to make things easier on their defense - but they're modern enough to know how to maximize that style with the play action attack. This season in particular, the team has a wealth of big weapons in Mugisha Mulogo and Hezekiah Thomas at tight end and Benji Merik and Ragnar Sampson in the backfield - their emphasis will be on physicality and beating up their opponents in both the run and pass while being the hardest team to tackle in the NSCF.

Defensive Style: Richardson's base defense is a 3-3-5 nickel look, generally running some sort of man coverage on the outside with safeties providing deep help. The team is in the third year of its defensive system after this unit led them to a 12-1 mark in Harrowitz’s first season before a stunning season-long performance a la Felswyr State’s NSCF 22 campaign ended in a championship. Expect three down linemen, a standup edge linebacker, and five defensive backs in most situations to offer more speed and versatility to a unit that was traditionally a "line up and play" defense under Richard Steinheil. Wide side OLB will typically line up as a pass rusher and may rush or drop back into coverage depending on the snap.

These are just here if you feel like using them! So it's a simple system
Runs: "SchoolName" or "Mascot" - the schoolname would be a run to the left, mascot to the right.
So for example - "Richardson" would be a run to the left, "Governors" would be to the right

Passes: protections and route concepts need to be called.
Protections:
60- standard pass pro without TE, sliding left
61- standard pass pro without TE, sliding right
50- TE stays in, sliding left
51- TE stays in, sliding right
40- TE chips then runs route, sliding left
41- TE chips then runs route, sliding right

Receivers: Not all of these receivers will always be on the field. In the rare case of going 5-wide, these labels are still used.
X- WR1
Z- WR2
Y- WR3 or TE1 - if WR3 is on the field, they get this designation
H- TE1 or TE2 - if WR3 is on the field, TE1 is H. If no WR3, TE1 is Y, TE2 is H
T- HB1

Defensively:

Usually the team will come onto the field with two plays called. The first play is the call, the second is their check. If the playcall is "Ranger Check Mickey," then Ranger is run unless a "check check" is called, which would mean Mickey is being run. If you want to do anything with this, feel free to make up playcalls.

Key Losses:

RB Rylan Rodgers Jr: One of the best running back's in program history, Rylan was the explosive element of this Richardson offense during his tenure, helping the team to an NSCF championship and winning a World Baseball Classic during his tenure. After racking up a total of 25 scores and over 2200 scrimmage yards last season, he's leaving the program with a lot of production to replace.

Fortunately, big Benjamin Merik is probably up to the task - and that's not to mention his new running mate in Ragnar Sampson.

Edge Shean Eckert: A Delaclav speed rusher, Eckert had been the happy compliment to the wrecking ball that is Malchiel Lukiwiya in the past two seasons with 7 sacks in NSCF 28, but he'll be tasked with being the frontman of this pass rush in NSCF 29. Expect him to take most of the snaps at his position, with Julian Anneliese and Ojora Kahara filling his spot more often than not when he needs a breather.

CB Takeuchi Ichiko: Ichiko stepped right into a barren cornerback room prior to NSCF 25 as a freshman and put on an impressive display given that situation - technical, patient, and more shutdown than gambler. By his sophomore year, he'd blossomed into one of the NSCF's best cornerbacks. Behind him, countryman Packard Goss has made a name for himself after earning the CB2 slot, who started last season - earning it over Karl Fortis two seasons ago now after Fortis was a starter for the championship team. This secondary is incredibly loaded, with taking the CB3 role and sophomore Rodney Knight getting bumped to safety while Fortis himself transferred to Vricksinburg State. Meanwhile, Vanorian freshman Vilde Lauritzen will certainly get snaps in the most stacked position group this team has to offer.

Player bios:

CB Packard Goss: The man who's been second fiddle to Ichiko for years is finally getting his crack at the top CB spot on this team. Goss's rare length make him a nightmare in jump ball situations and he's part of a deep secondary that many argue was built specifically to counter Cold Hill and Loyola's electric receiving corps. Munanire Tembo has been promoted to the second cornerback on this team, and Vilde Lauritzen, after being mostly a role player last season, will earn many more snaps. Rodney Knight - who came in with their class as a cornerback - has really settled into his role as a deep safety.

SS: Totte Lindberg: A fortunate signing from Valanora, Lindberg was key in a new scheme as a box linebacker slotted to start as a freshman. Lindberg was graded as the top recruit in Valanora and the #2 DB recruit among all NSCF nations prior to NSCF 26, and had an instant impact for a team that went 12-1. He's the dynamic leader of the team's deep secondary.

QB Isaiah Hunter: A surprising signing given Richardson's low-volume passing attack, but Hunter shocked the team with how casually he won the starting quarterback job his freshman season, showing up with a firm grasp of the playbook he'd been given to study and more arm talent than anyone else on this roster. Hunter, who came in as a bookish and reserved player who let the veterans be the vocal leaders, has blossomed into a merited captaincy role - he's looking to have his best performance as an individual yet despite the loss of top wideout Constantina Perrier.

HB Ragnar Sampson: Following Ratzupalfu's exit from the NSCF (we will dearly miss our Egretfriends), Ragnar elected to transfer to Richardson University. While Benjamin Merik is the nominal starter, the two will likely split carries, clocking in at a combined 500 pounds between the two of them. He's the latest legacy player fallowing a legend in Elijah Sampson, a former RFL MVP, and big things are expected out of the young gun. He and Merik are going to be the core of an offense who's focus is to absolutely bulldoze anyone and anything that stands in front of them.

DE Julian Anneliese: A violent power rusher with a tendency to hit hard and ask questions later, Anneliese is a highly anticipated addition to this squad and earned plenty of playing time as a true freshman. Power rusher with a high ceiling and a lot of energy, he's a force against the run and the pass. Along with Ojare Kahara, he's part of the best edge rushing tandem in the NSCF.

DE Ojora Kahara: As the son of former Banijan soccer NT winger & captain Gitonga Kahara, dominance runs in this kid's blood. He's used to pressure and fame, he was the nominal starter on his first day with the program. He and Julian Anneliese are a lethal combination as the bookends for this defense - nothing is going to come easy for opposing offenses on their merits alone.

ILB Lyn Dairon: A do-it-all backer, Dairon's instincts and excellent capacity to digest film make her a perfect compliment to the massive Kerron Nicholas at linebacker. Her biggest weakness will be being swallowed up by offensive linemen who get to the second level - but fortunately a beefy defensive front makes that less of a risk. With her iconic bleach-white hair and countenance that befits a model, she was scouted by many modeling agencies in Chromatika before choosing to stay with playing gridiron, at least through college.

C Abdullah-Aadi Makavan: The Kinjestad High School graduate is a massive human being and locked up the team's longsnapping job quickly with his impressive capacity there. Big AAM is raw - but he'll probably get some snaps in decided games in a season where he's being groomed to be the monstrous centerpiece of this offensive line. Has really hit it off with Rylan Rodgers Jr, having volunteered as a snow-bear-sitter for Klaw on a couple of occasions - after Rodgers' roommate, Isaiah Hunter, he's certainly the big bear's second favorite of Rylan's teammates.

TE Mugisha Mulogo: A Banijan sensation, Mulogo is a 6'7" freak built in a lab - Mulogo was the biggest playmaker in the passing game for Richardson last season, and now with a year under his belt in a legendary Richardson University weight room, expect big things. Extremely quick off the line and out of his breaks, Mulogo's biggest issue is with his temperament - big guy likes to fight, and while this Governors program encourages a nasty edge, discipline is paramount. Mulogo is critical to the team's plan on offense this season of being incredibly difficult to tackle.

TE Hezekiah Thomas: Coming in behind Mulogo, Thomas is even bigger - though not quite as fast. The freshman is a stalwart blocker and a physical specimen - between himself and Mulogo, this Governors passing attack may be just as punishing as their run game.

QB Scott Yadav: An exciting prospect out of South Newlandia, he breaks the mold of a true pocket passer that Richardson fans are so used to. He didn't have a great senior season and he isn't going to wow you with his arm strength, but he's a great dual threat who scored 18 total touchdowns as a senior in an otherwise putrid offense (12 passing, 6 rushing) - and it's worth noting he was better in his sophomore and junior years when he had some help. Yadav's accuracy could use a bit of work too, but with a year behind a solid mentor and leader in Isaiah Hunter, cleaning up his mechanics shouldn't be too hard. A bold signing by the Governors, but this coaching staff is confident in him - might get some work in goal-to-go or short yardage situations.

Roger Jackson: A guy who really exploded in training camp, Jackson was a bit of a sloppy 340 pounds coming in as a freshman, but after working under Richardson's strength program for a year, he's become a monstrous 320, and his brother Terry, one year his younger, appears to be on the same path. Expect him to add some extra juice to this defensive line, either preventing quarterbacks from stepping up to get away from the team's beastly edge rushers or swallowing them whole when they do.

Home Stadium:

The Tundra, often snow covered, in Cold Hill was constructed in 1999, and can hold up to 85,000 people.

Team Philosophy:

At its core, the team's game plan is to rack up points and then make opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable when they try to catch up.

Offensive Style: Cold Hill is a pass-first, air raid, quarterback centric team offensively. Generally run the offense out of the shotgun in 10 or 11 personnel. (1 running back, no tight ends, or 1 running back, 1 tight end). As long as it's working, they see no reason to slow down scoring and give other teams a chance to get back into the game. Power style run game, tight ends and backs are usually plus pass protectors if they're starting. Expect a lot of chipping and double teams in pass protection. For a team with complete confidence in Viktor Rowles under center, this looks to be the most aggressive passing attack in the NSCF.

Defensive Style: Base 3-4 Defense. In essence, make a bunch of plays and cause enough disruption to stop the offense. Outside linebackers serve primarily as edge rushers with very rare drop backs into coverage, while big defensive linemen clog up the interior. Heavy emphasis on pass rush. Scheme features a lot of blitzing, particularly from cornerbacks, and relies on linebackers to soak up tackles while the front men key on the passer. In the run game, expect a contain and bounce inside approach, to force runners straight into the linebacking core. Tendency to give up a lot of big plays but make plenty themselves.

Key Losses:

WR Kasozi Batte: The best individual performer for Cold Hill last season, Batte was unassailable on their championship run, racking up a career high 115 catches for over fourteen hundred yards and a baker's dozen in the touchdown column. His performance was pivotal to an inexperienced QB in Viktor Rowles cutting his teeth in his first starts. He's now tearing it up in the GFLB, and while Cold Hill has a treasure trove of weapons, his absence will nonetheless be felt.

QB Benoit Youngblood: A man who Chris Dale called the best player he ever coached, the two time OPOY and last year's NSCF champion is on his next journey - restoring the RFL's Madison Gladiators to relevance. Youngblood leaves as one of the best players in the history of the program, having set the record for most completions (403, NSCF 27), passing yards (5,034, NSCF 27) and passing touchdowns (44, NSCF 28) in program history. Whether or not Viktor Rowles can live up to that standard remains to be seen.

ILB Derek Pierce: Ever underrated, Pierce was a run stopping phenom and a high-effort energizer in the middle of this defense for his four season tenure. After coming in at the tail end of the days of Proko, he inherited the leadership of this defense. Sure, it wasn't quite as dominant, but there wasn't much else to work with. He leaves a gaping hole on the inside in his wake.

Player bios:

Receiving Corps: This group is headlined by Enox Silverman out of Chromatika. The next man up in an incredible run Cold HIll's had at wide receiver, he'll be getting the most looks of anyone in this group. Heine Stølan, after flashing as a back-breaking deep threat as a freshman, projects to to earn more snaps as a true WR2, and Earl Silverman comes in ready to cut his teeth behind his brother. Speedy TE Samajae Dallas also comes over, a transfer from Elephant Valley University, to give Cold Hill their best tigh end since Jabari McNair.

Viktor Rowles: If Cold Hill's going to make a run at repeating as champions, it will be on the arm of Viktor Rowles. After going 6-1 in seven starts last season - losing only to Richardson - he was asked to just keep the team afloat with Youngblood injured. Instead, he excelled, and clinched the Everless division going into a week 10 rematch with Richardson University. Per Chris Dale, the young man "earned" the right to play against the Governors, and while it represented his lone loss of the season, Rowles comes in with sky-high expectations here after tossing 2,267 yards, 17 touchdowns and 5 picks in 7 games. He waited patiently behind Youngblood when many programs would've had him starting as a true freshman - now it's his turn.

But hey, behind him, that guy named Viktor Rowles? He’s been absolutely dicing up Cold Hill’s first teamers - if Youngblood goes down, this team has another absolute stud ready to take the reigns behind him.

C Dhairya Taylor: #3 recruit out of South Newlandia,Taylor has the size and will to excel in Cold Hill's system. An excellent pass blocker by nature, Taylor's secured a starting spot in her second season and is now the leader of this offensive line.

CB Nicholas Hussain: #7 recruit out of South Newlandia a fe wyears ago, Hussain's absolutely exploded last season after spending all offseason throwing with Benoit Youngblood and Kasozi Batte, acclimating against the best of the best, reeling in interceptions on several freakishly athletic plays. He's the cornerstone of this defense and one of the best players on the team at this point.

DE Erik Kessler: Hailing from Chromatika, Kessler is a pure speed threat with a mind to dissect film study. Kessler surprised by earning snaps despite his slender 210 pound frame as a freshman and provided Cold Hill with a bit of teeth on a struggling defense in their championship run. Now with enough weight on him to secure a starting role, he's looking to make a big jump.

HB Hebron Naphtali: A brutal if injury prone runner, Naphtali plays with such intensity that his body has trouble handling it. Despite an extensive injury history, Naphtali never missed a game in high school, even with a broken arm. The former prom king projects to get the bulk of the carries, for whatever good that is in an air-raid offense.

ILB Kenny Parham: Brutish inside backer who's rumored to have eaten running backs and confirmed to have made one cry during a game, he's the counter to the "running game wearing you down" strategy - his goal is to relegating your backs to the ice bath for the next week following the game. The freshman definitely has some physical development left at his age, but he'll still start as the team's inside backer.

[Prince Georges Land]

Pona'hou University Kingfishers

OOC: A majority of my RP storyline will be surrounding the Kingfishers road to the NSCF, for all IC purposes, assume that any Georgian Athletic Association games occur prior to this competition.

General Info
Offense: Pro Style
Defense: 4-3 generally, will switch to a 4-2-5 with a NB based on opponents scheme
Head Coach: Luke Marx (Age 28, of Georgian descent)
OC: Kawai Kane (Age 53, of Islander descent)
DC: Zander Frost (Age 47, of Georgian descent)

The team comprises of native islanders, as those of Georgian descent tend to attend more luxurious, mainland universities. Despite this, the team tends to hold players from the mainland lower on the depth chart. The restriction of variety in names is due to the theocratic nature of the Islands, which stems from a long and rich history.

The abundance of islanders is evident at skill positions, due to Islander high school football, where speed reigns supreme.

[The Kytler Peninsulae]

The Kytler Peninsulae is an interesting sport when it comes to its relationship to gridiron. The sport is pretty big here - big enough to produce a team that stunned the multiverse by reaching the World Bowl quarter-finals on their return to international competition (and there have been Kytlerian playoff teams in the past too), big enough to be one of the more popular spectator sports overall - but also, on some level, pretty small. In particular, it's largely a regional affair; the right-wing state of Varn, home to less than 10% of the Kytlerian population, has over half of its active youth players, is the only state where schools play each other (the rest of the country has a youth gridiron scene based around local clubs incorporating the students of multiple schools), and the not-really-that-professional Kytlerian League of Gridiron (KLoG) is centred around the state too, with seven Varnian teams and only five from the rest of the country. (The Varnian state capital Borlfield has more teams than the entire northern peninsula!)

There is some speculation that the Varn State University may create a gridiron program designed to compete against the rest of the multiverse - there is no domestic college gridiron in the country, as the KLoG drafts players straight out of school - but there is still significant internal debate within both the campus and the Borlfield state house as to how or indeed if this should happen. In the meantime, one big moment in the internationalisation of the sport will happen; the top prospects in this year's KLoG draft have been given permission to enter the NSCF recruiting portal. (KLoG teams that draft players who make it onto an NSCF roster will retain their rights to the player for after their return home.)

In a country long on athletic kids but (Varn aside) short on cultural traction for gridiron - the non-contact Babbage code is more popular in most of the country, at least as a school sport - the playing standard is inevitably both patchy and lit up by a handful of dominant athletes. It is perhaps telling that all but one of the Kytlerians who will enter the portal are products of the Varnian high school system; even with the amalgamation of larger catchment areas, youth gridiron elsewhere in the country just isn't as high in quality, especially on the coaching side of things.

The portal may value players differently from the KLoG draft; by definition, NSCF teams are always looking for instant impact, whereas many KLoG teams take the long view with players in a way college teams inherently can't. That means that Bay City receiver/DB Kupe Lomu - the clear favourite to be the first overall pick based on his developmental projection as a size-speed monster with unteachable catching instinct - may not be as prized by NSCF teams due to how raw he is. Instead, look for Varnian players such as option QB John Rockford and linebacker Geoff Thorne - both of whom starred for the championship-winning Borlfield Heights High School team - to gather the most attention, along with elusive pocket rocket Lit "The Vanishing Vephra" Whootung, who has instant international potential as a gadget player.

"The upside for Lomu is so big but in Varn, nobody trusts his tape to the same extent because he's playing such weak opponents out there in Bay City which is still Babbageball country," said Borlfield-based sports journalist Luke Murphy. "He might not be ready because he hasn't been tested like the Varn kids have. I think Rockford is the man who'll definitely go somewhere - he's probably good enough as a rusher to be a pure RB on most teams, but as an option QB he's definitely ready to go, he just doesn't throw errant passes, he doesn't throw an interceptable ball, so teams who prize ball security are going to love the kid."

Could Varn State appear internationally? "A lot of things have to be thought about, like how to integrate their studies - we just don't have that kind of student-athlete tradition in the same way some places do, it's largely a recreational thing to do university sport, the professionals start their pro careers out of school so it's really just the people doing individual sports alongside their degrees, triathletes and so on, obviously we're (as a country) now back in the Olympics so there might be some Olympic development programmes emerging with university support but even that will often be things like engineering departments providing technical support, like the wind tunnel at (the University of) Alaer which has been helping with the bobsleigh team for the Winter Games."

ABOUT THE TEAM

OFFENSIVELY, the Cadets run a traditional WISHBONE offense, shifting between spread and single-tight three-back sets, with a double-tight package seen in short-yardage situations. The main play in the Cadet wishbone is VEER and its variants, a TRIPLE OPTION play in which the Quarterback reads a defensive end to decide whether to keep or give the ball to the fullback, and then further reads an off-ball player to decide whether to pitch to his backside halfback, with the playside halfback acting as a lead blocker. When not running the Veer, the Cadet offense bases most of its philosophy around MISDIRECTION and OVERLOADING THE POINT OF ATTACK, while using PLAY-ACTION and DEEP PASSES to keep the defense honest.

DEFENSIVELY, the Cadets base out of a 3-4 PERSONNEL, although against run-heavy teams they may shift into a 5-2 FRONT. The linebacker make most of the plays in this system, which relies on quick defensive ends SPILLING RUNS TO THE OUTSIDE for linebackers and corners to make tackles. In the passing game, the Cadets almost always BLITZ either one or two linebackers to generate pressure except for in extreme long yardage situations. Additionally, the Cadets will usually base themslves out of a COVER 2 READ look, but will occasionally trot out COVER 3 on passing downs.

GSPN’s College Football Update, part 0: NSCF Season 30 Cheat Sheet

A lot has happened since the end of Nationstates College Football 29, and if you haven’t been following, you could be forgiven for being a little bit lost. The GSPN editorial staff has put together a cheat sheet with five big ideas to help you understand what’s changed this season.

Big Idea #1: The Binturongs and Redbirds will no longer compete in GCAA football
The writing has been on the wall since these two programs joined NSCF in the competition’s twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth seasons, but things finally came to a head between the two institutions and the GCAA’s board of directors over the topic of name, image, and likeness money. The board voted to allow collegiate athletes to accept compensation for their name, image, and likeness (commonly referred to as “NIL money”), but passed rules prohibiting players who receive NIL money from playing their sport at an organized level outside of GCAA competition.

The board claims the restrictions are necessary to prevent players from playing in overseas professional leagues during their offseason, and refers to the restrictions as “anti-moonlighting provisions.” Both UC and UA believe that the provisions unfairly target their players and appealed to the Gesemite High Court for an injunction, which they did not receive. As a result of this provision and after consultation with their players, both schools elected to withdraw from GCAA football competition, but will still field teams in other GCAA competitions.

Big Idea #2: The River Conference is out, the Gesemite Conference is in
On the topic of NIL money, a group of eight division I GCAA programs protested the decision to allow NIL money at all, claiming it would increase the gap between the richest and poorest GCAA schools, particularly in football. After losing the vote at the GCAA’s board of directors meeting, these schools made the decision to leave their conferences and form a new conference, the “Gesemite Conference”, with new by-laws that greatly restrict the use of NIL money. The River and Metro conferences were hardest hit, each losing four teams to the Gesemite Conference in addition to UA and UC leaving GCAA football entirely.

As a result of this realignment, the River Conference has folded and its remaining teams have joined other conferences, with Coleman joining the Metro while Weepwee and the, sorry, The Eriksberg University have joined the Mountain. Summit University will complete its planned move to Metro, with Griffinsburg now joining them to balance the conferences. Former Division II schools Green Meadows and Behring will complete their planned moves to DIvision I, with Green Meadows joining Metro instead of River as originally planned and Behring joining Mountain. The new Gesemite Conference’s teams will play each team in their division twice and each team in the other division once, while the Metro and Mountain conferences will each play a single round robin along with a slate of inter-conference games that will shift each season.

While the Gesemite Conference retains its Division I standing, media pundits have already begun informally referring to Metro and Mountain as “I-A” and the GC as “Division I-AA”. With the realignment, the current state of GCAA football for the NSCF 30 season looks like this:

Metro Conference					Mountain Conference
Alexandria Angels					Athens Wildcats 
Coleman Miners (from River)				Behring Bluejays (from D-II)
Green Meadows Hawks (from D-II)				Damascus Cougars
Griffinsburg Corsairs (from Mountain)			Eriksburg Chestnuts (from River)
Rosetta Orange Aces					Myonia Bulls
Summit Zigs (from River)				Weepwee Willows (from River)
Thebes Tigers						West Baighad Climbers

Gesemite West						Gesemite East
Anthrakis Warriors					Finn College Foxes
Excalibur Swordsmen					John Griffin Viceroys
Founders Bruins						South Constantinople Crusaders
Metro East Wildcats					Southern Weepwee
Western Blue Heelers					WUWC Panthers

Big Idea #3: NSCF is now fall football
Don’t think about this one too much. With UA and UC leaving GCAA football, the powers that be no longer need to schedule the NSCF season in the spring, so you can look forward to NSCF and GCAA football running simultaneously this fall. This has big implications for recruiting, which brings us to…

Big Idea #4: Recruiting is on fire
Not to say college football recruiting has ever been anything besides chaos, but between the introduction of NIL money, the conference realignment, and the new season, NSCF 30 recruiting is as spicy as it’s ever been. The GCAA unanimously voted to release all prospects from their binding letters of intent, so this fall it’s a free-for-all as GCAA and NSCF teams compete to fill the gaps in their rosters. NIL money also greatly increases the chances of recruiting from overseas, so look for Banijan, Chromatikan (sic), or Quebecois players to be visiting a campus near you.

Here are the current GSPN.com top 10 prospects for the NSCF 30 recruiting class:

Position	Year		Name		Current team			Scheduled visits
ATH		FR		Joseph Davis	Metro Early College HS	Constantinople, Alexandroupolis, Damascus
LOLB		SO (Juco)	Bruce Morris	Central CC			Eriksburg, Athens, Alexandroupolis
MLB		SO (Juco)	Jason Russell	Busiris JC			Thebes, Griffinsburg, Alexandroupolis
S		FR		Eugene Price	Bedford HS			West Baighad, Constantinople
DE		FR		Tyler Clark	Westmont HS			Myonia, Alexandroupolis

Big Idea #5: The future looks crazy
Everything in this article is just what we know so far. Things we haven’t looked at, but probably should include, but are not limited to: GCAA post-season, the transfer portal (everything you just read about occurred after the transfer portal closed following the NSCF 29 season, much to the chagrin of some players), bowl games, the GFL draft. Hold on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

History: Remembering Blue Sunday
As the start of the football season draws near, we also mark thirty years since the momentous day in Gesemite history known as Blue Sunday. On a sunny Sunday afternoon in late summer, as sixty thousand fans packed into Tigers stadium for the opening-day GFL matchup between the Thebes Lions and the Busiris Bandits, a single firearm shot rang out from the upper decks of the stadium in the vicinity of the owner’s box. The stadium was evacuated, but when Thebes police entered the owner’s box, they found only Thomas Anderson, Jr., owner of the Lions, dead with a nine-millimeter pistol in his hand.

The reason for T.J. Anderson’s suicide would become apparent in the following twenty-four hours, as news broke that Jimmy Mac, the largest lender in New Gesem, had failed to make a payment on its debts and would soon default. Jimmy Mac, a nickname for the Gesemite Mortgage and Motor Loan Corporation, was a quasi-government agency that undewrote mortgages, car loans, and other types of secured debts. The foundation of Jimmy Mac some twenty years before Blue Sunday allowed working-class Gesemites access to cheap credit for the first time, allowing an explosion of construction and service industries.

Though Blue Sunday came as a shock to the Gesemite world, retrospective analysis revealed Jimmy Mac had been a ticking time bomb almost from its foundation. When Jimmy Mac was founded, New Gesem had recently begun buying large shares of the national debt of its neighbor, Mertagne, which was undergoing a period of rapid expansion and in need of hard currency. With booming exports in coal and agricultural products and a growing manufacturing sector, New Gesem had a trade surplus in those days that it was looking to invest in order to ensure long-term growth. While Starblaydia, Krytenia, and other Anaian nations had been loaning money to Mertagne for decades, New Gesem was a relative latecomer to this revenue stream. Nevertheless, the inflow of capital from Mertagne was lent to ordinary Gesemites in the form of mortgages, car loans, and student loans.

At the start of the Mertagnian Insulation, when the government of Mertagne defaulted and subsequently failed, the board of directors at Jimmy Mac had the foresight to change course and avoid being pulled under with New Gesem’s western neighbor. They began offering interest-only options that frontloaded payments to allow Gesemites to continue borrowing. With the change in structure, the Gesemite mortgage industry continued unabated, fueling continued capital growth across the economy. Had Jimmy Mac simply continued lending at the rate they had been prior to the Mertagnian default, it is possible they could have weathered the storm and Blue Sunday could have been avoided, but they continued to lend more and more at the new rates over the following decade, creating an even bigger bubble.

The bubble finally burst when the first year’s worth of backloaded mortgages finally began paying the full rate, triggering a wave of defaults that cascaded through local credit unions and ultimately sunk Jimmy Mac, taking with it dozens of businessmen like T.J. Anderson who had large amounts of capital tied up in mortgage-backed securities. The consequences of Blue Sunday are now the stuff of legend, but when the dust cleared, Jimmy Mac had declared bankruptcy and been bought for pennies on the dollar by a previously unknown financial institution, the Grand Fraternal Bank or GFB.

Now a household name, GFB is a conglomerate of financial institutions affiliated with five of the largest fraternal organizations in New Gesem, namely the Aurochs, the Knights of Constantine, the Gryphons, the Sphinxes, and the Wapitis. These fraternal organizations originated from the early days of industrialization in New Gesem. Originally founded as mutual credit unions for their members, by the time GFB was founded the fraternal banks were dynamic financial institutions and an integral, if poorly-understood, part of the Vine Street* financial ecosystem. Even so, buying out Jimmy Mac was a big swing for these organizations, but one with significant upside; by purchasing the majority of car loans, mortgages, and student loans in New Gesem, they were cementing their position at the center of Gesemite life and elevating the social and political status of their fraternities.

The imposition of the GFB as the underwriter of the Gesemite mortgage industry immediately and irrevocably created a de facto stratification in Gesemite society between fraternity members and those who were not. The five fraternities that formed the GFB, as well as most other national fraternities, followed a Fraternal Code of Conduct that included specific stipulations about financial solvency, including provisions for removing a member’s status if they became too leveraged. Upon assuming the role of underwriter, the GFB began offering substantial discounts to those customers who belonged to fraternities which followed the FCOC. That the Gesemite Constitution limits voting to those who own a house has also added a political dimension to the economic stratification.

*Vine Street in Constantinople is the heart of the financial industry in New Gesem, the equivalent of Wall Street

GSPN College Football Gameday Week 1 Preview
College Football Gameday is Gesemite Sports Programming Network’s flagship college football show and the network’s highest-rated show in the weeks when it airs. This week it comes to us live from Worthington, de facto capital of New Gesem’s coal-producing West Bhaigad region, where the West Baighad University Climbers prepare to take on the Myonia Bulls in the annual Coal Bowl, the traditional kickoff game for GCAA football. In a year of turmoil and change for GCAA football, the Coal Bowl remains a pure rivalry, a reminder of the passion that Gesemite college football fans have for their teams.

Four men and one woman sit behind a long desk on a raised platform in the Worthington town square as thousands of fans decked out in the blue and gold of WBU or the green and white of Myonia pack in behind stanchions behind them. The host, Kenneth Brown, is a social media personality who went viral as a member of the Rong Way Crew, the diehard student section at the University of Constantinople, where he majored in communications. Now in his late twenties, Kenneth is in his second year hosting College Gameday, as well as being the network’s first choice of on-air talent for assignments where its stable of former athletes and coaches lack the necessary finesse. He wears a suit and tie, but it isn’t hard to see the drunken, tank-top-clad frat boy who captured the nation’s attention just a few years ago.

At stage left sits Solomon Jones, a huge black man in his sixties with a shaved head, wearing a royal purple suit jacket over a black turtleneck and an assortment of tasteful, if weighty, yellow gold jewelry. Jones played ten years in the GFL as a defensive end before starting his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of Thebes, where he coached another two decades, retiring with a winning record. He is the longest-serving member of the cast. As a former defensive player and coach, he tends to favor teams that are well-conditioned and play with what he calls a “game plan” over those with superstar players.

To Solomon’s left sits Sarah Mueller, twenty five, blonde, and athletic, in square-framed glasses and a pantsuit that accentuates her shoulders. As a scholarship women’s soccer player at Griffinsburg University, she walked onto the football team as a freshman and played four years as the starting kicker. A new member of the cast last year, she is the “token kid” and often called upon to provide insight into the athletes’ mindsets and interpret social media trends for the show’s audience, much to the chagrin of Kenny, who doesn’t want to admit he’s no longer relevant.

Kenny sits in the middle of the stage and to his left, opposite Sarah, is Remy Janssen, the wild-eyed former coach at Metro East University. In his early fifties, Remy went out on top of his game at Metro East, racking up bowl game wins and upsets of major programs before leaving at the end of his contract to spend more time with his family. Upbeat, hyperactive, and overwhelmingly positive, Remy is nevertheless known for his scathing critiques of coaches and players alike, typically targeting work ethic and selfish behavior.

At the far end of the stage, opposite Solomon, sits Rex Strong, University of Constantinople alumnus and retired franchise quarterback for the Damascus Smelters. A member of the Gesemite college and pro football halls of fame, Rex is a believer in star power, often looking for strong individual efforts and players to have breakout games and downplaying the importance of teamwork or coaching to a team’s success.

The show’s format follows a familiar pattern; Kenny will introduce the location from which they are broadcasting (in this case Worthington) and the chosen matchup. Each pundit gets a minute or so on the mic to thank the fans who’ve come in person and talk briefly about the game, the host school, or the matchup. Then Kenny runs through a list of news topics relevant to college football; historically there will be recaps of recruiting and storylines. What remains to be seen this season is the extent to which College Gameday covers NSCF action; Constantinople and Alexandroupolis fans account for a large portion of the show’s viewership, so even though those teams will no longer play any Gesemite schools besides each other, they will likely continue to be covered on Gameday.

That very topic is up first today, as Kenny asks each pundit for their opinion on Constantinople and Alexandroupolis discontinuing their GCAA football programs in favor of playing solely in the NSCF. This topic has been beaten to death on every other sports program, and the discussion is mostly a rehash of the conversation five years ago about the Redbirds joining NSCF, but it’s the first show of the season and they need to fill time as well as address the elephant in the room.

Solomon: “I don’t like it. I have never watched much NSCF, and I’ll probably watch less now that it’s competing with real college football. I just don’t understand why playing against colleges in Baker Park and TJUN-ia is so much better than playing classic rivals like WBU. What we’re going to see today is a hard-nosed, smash-mouth, old-school rivalry game, and that’s what Constantinople and Alexandroupolis are missing out on by playing schools that come and go every year.”

Sarah: “I’m going to agree with Solomon, but for a different reason. Think of the players. Even if Myonia plays against Alexandria or Thebes in the playoffs, that’s still only an eight- or ten-hour bus ride, compared to getting on a plane and flying to God knows where, and some of these places they’re playing games just aren’t safe. Imagine if a school from Farfadillis joined the NSCF.”

Remy: “I’m all for it. I used to scout NSCF teams as a coach, and I was always blown away by the tactical acumen of the Loyolas and the St. Croixes of the multiverse. I was a big supporter of the Reverend Lee Gibbs and his Pilgrims, because I think Gesemite football is doing itself a disservice if it isn’t scouring the multiverse for talent.”

Rex: “Right now I think it’s a mistake, but the first time we get a player signed by the RFL, the QFL, or another big overseas league, I’ll rethink my stance then.”

The final topic of discussion today is the matchup between WBU and Myonia, which is set to kick off about one commercial break later. The pundits are more interested in what the game represents than the actual game, possibly because they didn’t bother to research two schools that are almost certainly not making the playoffs.

Solomon: “I think it’s going to be a close one. Both teams have a lot of heart, a lot to play for, and will be looking to start the season strong. WBU of course graduated a bunch of seniors off their playoff team, but I think home turf and the momentum of last season’s playoffs will bump put them over the top. Thirteen-ten to the Climbers.”

Sarah: “I’m going with the upset on this one. The Bulls have a lot of young talent, and a lot of players that have played together before. It’s rare to get that combination, and I think they’re going to have a more complete game than the Climbers at this point in the season. Twenty-eight twenty-one to the Bulls.”

Remy: “The Bulls have always been a good triple-option team, and I respect that, but I don’t think it gets the job done here today. Thirty-five twenty-four, Climbers.”

Rex: “I think the Bulls are going to win, for one reason, and that’s Sam Brooks. Junior running back, had a couple big games last year, and I think he’s just ready to explode. Twenty-four seventeen to Bulls, Brooks runs for three hundred yards.”

Bowerstone University 'Bearcats'

Background Info:
Bowerstone University is a private university found in the southeastern province of Creegmar; despite the province's mostly rural nature, Bowerstone is one of the most accomplished athletic programs in the kingdom and because of this over the last decade has cultivated a very prestigious and diverse student body, particularly around it's public sciences, engineering and practical sciences schools. The sprawling 45 acre campus is relatively isolated, the only town within a 30 min drive is Tadown, which has about 28,000 residents and is thoroughly a college town with most of the city set up to cater to the Bowerstone student-body, who make up a significant portion of the residents due to the modest on-campus accommodations that Bowerstone has. Last season in the 29th edition, the Bearcats failed to reach their goal to return to the NSCF with a roar, ending up with a miserable losing record and missing the playoffs, something they are going to try to flip as they return for the 30th edition.

Stadium: Built six years ago, the massive Drummore Downs is where the Bearcats call home, having replaced their prior Hookfield Stadium. The new stadium is a massive upgrade, capable of seating a theoretical limit of 97,000 participants it will be the first test to see if the University can maintain it's sold-out streak in the larger stadium. Fitted with a partial roof covering over the bowl, a number of LED display boards for scores, stats and broadcasting display, as well as state of the art concourse that features both traditional stadium food, such as hot dogs and nachos, as well as newer age items such as an indoor full size bar, two in fact, a number of shops for team merchandise, and a seafood restaurant. It's located on the southwest corner of University property, directly accessed by the newly constructed Exit 11 on HR18, or through the internal footpath network on the campus grounds.

Uniforms:

Coaching Staff:

• Head Coach: Michael Derrick (On the fourth year of a six year contract, Male 49)
• Offensive Coordinator: Kelley Johansen (Male, 53)
• Defensive Coordinator: Alf Ramsey (Male, 63)
• Special Teams Coordinator: Virgil York (Male, 59)

Style Modifier:+3
Typical Offensive Strategy: Last year's failure to win is usually assigned to Derrick constantly changing which quarterback he was using - however, this year in preseason training camps, offensive coordinator Kelley Johnson announced that he had received permission to bring on a quarterbacks coach, 32 year old Virgil Sousell, who has been working with the AGL's Meheath Rangers as an QB coach, to perform the same role for the Bearcats; this is the first time they've formally employed someone for the role and hopefully it will help both the current and future quarterbacks of Bowerstone to develop into their best forms. With this being Leyton's final year, undoubtedly he will want to push to solidify his draft status, currently seen as a lower first round pick, and also to try and achieve some success with the Bearcats, who are searching for their first playoff appearance in 4 editions; vertical zone run will probably be the preferred playbook, using either the power-rushing of the fullbacks Albanson/Athanse, or the speed of Norwood, to offer a football-esque fastball/changeup like switch up.

Typical Defensive Strategy Collapse.the.Pocket; undoubtedly was the message Ramsey was preaching to his linemen and linebackers; Derrick confirmed they've drilled more for zone plays, something they failed at horrendously last year, and shored up the secondary and defensive bonds with new players/freshmen that can help rotations be more consistent and let the starters get rest when they did too - one of the biggest critiques of the Bearcats last year was their skinny depth chart and the high downs played for many key defensive positions; Athanse has announced he will double-roll, playing fullback and linebacker, and Bowerstone has managed to bring in some good recruits to help fill in the lines.

SILVER COAST STATE COLLEGE CADETS' FIRST NSCF SEASON: A PREVIEW

THE RUNDOWN

After 72 years of SANCAF competition and 6 national championships, the Silver Coast State Cadets have packed their bags for the NSCF, joining the Horizon Conference, where they will compete against schools from across the multiverse. Following an 10-1-1 2022-23 campaign during which they finished the season ranked #9 in the National Press Poll and #6 in the Coaches Poll, the Cadets will seek to establish their spot in the NSCF with a strong opening campaign.

The jump from SANCAF to international competition has been described as "like a whole different world" by JJ Renner, head coach of Frontier M&T, who recently made the move back to SANCAF after a middling two seasons in the NSCF. The South Americanastanian football climate is widely considered backwards and primitive by many outsiders, as it is one of the few countries who are yet to implement rules to protect players from blindside hits, crackback blocks, and cut blocks outside the tackle box, along with being one of even fewer to still allow games to end in a tie. The new rules the Cadets will face in the NSCF, and that Frontier M&T previously experienced, are expected to lead to "major schematic changes" in due time, according to Renner.

THE QUESTIONS

CAN THE CADETS KEEP UP WITH THE SPREAD?

It's no secret that the South Americanastanians are some of the most physical football players out there, but do they have the speed and skill to defend the more pass-happy schemes of international play? A defensive back corp mainly utilized in run support in the past will be tested against the pass this season more than ever.

IS THE VEER VIABLE?

For years, the Cadets have used the Wishbone Veer to make up for an undersized roster by loading the box and stressing the edges of defenses that often weren't either big or fast enough to appropriately defend the Triple Option. However, now facing defenses that recruit from across the multiverse, will the Veer prove its worth, or will it show its flaws against skilled competition?

CAN THE COACHING STAFF ADAPT?

In the first year of international competition, things can can do go wrong. But, for a program that hasn't fired a coach in 34 years and not had a losing season in 30, even the slightest of bumps will give the suspension a jolt. Not much of how SCSC does things, from scheme down to practice habits, has changed for a long time, and it remains to be seen how the coaches will adapt their methods to a new era of Cadet football.

THE KEY PLAYERS

MIKE RANDALL, QB, RS FRESHMAN

The highly-touted dual-sport recruit out of Wheatley High School will have to earn his stripes against the best this season. After a redshirt year that saw him making one appearance (A start in the Lilac Bowl), rushing for 152 yards and a touchdown while going 10-14 with 182 yards and 2 touchdowns through the air. The freshman, handed the keys to the Cadet offense after a promising Spring Game, has shown flashes of his prowess in the air but still mainly operates as a run-first option quarterback. Whether he can settle into his role and keep the offense humming will largely determine the course of this season for the Cadets.

B.T JACKSON, HB, RS SOPHOMORE/J.J WISNIEWSKI, HB, JUNIOR

Just as important to running the option as the quarterback, the Cadets' dynamic halfback duo consists of the first Meskapan player in Cadet history along with the younger brother of star National Team defensive end Bill Wisniewski. Technically, I was supposed to pick only three players for this, but including one of these two without the other would be criminal. Both of these backs are arguably some of the best collegiate football players South Americanastan has to offer, with both players racking up 700+ yards during the 22-23 campaign as starters. Jackson is one of the greatest finesse backs South Americanastan has ever seen, while Wisniewski prefers to go through rather than around. If the dynamic duo can maintain their level of performance, things are looking up for the Cadets.

JACK PELTMAN, MLB, SOPHOMORE

The hometown kid out of Alloway High School, Peltman took the starting linebacker job after an injury to Harry Johnson last season and never looked back, recording 32 solo tackles over 7 starts and an additional 31 assisted tackles. Peltman earned a reputation for having a high football IQ the previous seasons, seeming to possess a knack for reading offenses. The middle linebacker is known for his physicality, too, as he racked up 16 Big Time Hits (BTH) as recorded by the SA Football Analytics Service (SAFAS). Combined with the rest of the linebacking corp, Peltman's play could make or break the Cadets' season.

University of the Commonwealth of Baker Park Warriors

The University of the Commonwealth bounced back from disappointment at home before NSCF 29 to take the Heartland Division title and another playoff berth, which they parlayed into a return to the top 8 in the succeeding UAC campaign, their seventh classified finish during Ryan Benton's nine years in charge at College Hill. Now the Warriors hope their 13th appearance in the multiverse's premier college football showcase will bring UC a record seventh Mineral Conference title and their first playoff win since their first time participating.

COACHING STAFF

Head Coach: Naia Curentino, 42
Who is Naia Curentino? She played football semiprofessionally in the Regional Leagues for a few years before calling her career quits and going all in on Misha Florentine's plan. An avid fan of the NSCF (her favorite team until Felswyr State entered the competition was University of Loyola-Istria, she's revealed in a few interviews), she's the mad scientist of the Coaching Staff. She's very animated, very forward, and very driven. Having been the mastermind to three titles, she took the Firehawks to the championship game once again in her first season as Head Coach.

Offensive Coordinator: Eve "Swoosh" Moraxis, 36
A new find by Curentino, Eve "Swoosh" Moraxis is a very enthusiastic, joyful chatterbox of an Offensive Mind who is a bit of a mad scientist. Loving the usage of unorthodox formations, interesting route combinations and delayed timings that flummox opposition, Swoosh's plans have often been considered too crazy in the Chromatik media. With Curentino to help tamper her creativity, though, Felswyr State should be able to glean the useful bits and let the absolute crazy bits die. Characterized by a "swoosh" of silver-grey hair, this is not your usual Chromatik.

Defensive Coordinator: Isidora Noles, 48
With Kasen Harrowitz leaving for Richardson University, Isidora Noles stepped in as Defensive Coordinator, promoted from her Secondary Coach position. She's been highly instrumental in how the team's come together defensively. She'll be using a 3-4-4 instead of the 3-3-5, which will mean that the team will be a bit more stout through the middle. As a disciplinarian and shrewd tactician who knows her personnel by heart, the Firehawks haven't missed a beat, leading the team to a surprise title. She is the disciplinarian of the bunch, but her tough love style works with the players.

Special Teams Coordinator: Vera James, 37
A savant of trick plays and taking risks, she views every instance of special teams impacting the match as an opportunity to hit it big, and will always look for players who can do more than they are supposed to. A tricky, catty individual, she's willing to do almost anything to win. With McAllister and Katt gone, there's new players on the positions - and the possibility for more.

Head Physio: Marius Benne, 41
The younger brother of Zoe "Z" Benne, the Chromatik National Football Team's physio, Marius is the more serious of the two, all business all the time. He's pretty good at his job.

QB Nicole Estera
After Gwenderyn, after Odika, now comes... Nicole Estera, one of the best Quarterbacks in Chromatik High School Gridiron history. She's not as big nor physically imposing, but she has a pinpoint accurate arm, the ability to survey the field with ease, and simply knows how to ball when needed. There is some talk about how her game would translate to the collegiate level, but can a born winner be stopped?

WR Nero Ramsey
With Vince Cartier and Essa Kayode gone, the Firehawks' air attack will lean heavily on one Nero Ramsey - the speedy Ranorian who's really come into his own. His consistency has gotten even better as the years have rolled on, and he'll be Estera's best target going forward.

HB Sydney Thomas
The first true Running Back to be listed, Thomas will feature heavily on the new Firehawks offense that will try to use the size up front as well as play-action for big plays down the stretch. Now with Peng Gisim, the best fullback out of Chromatika in years, blocking in front of him, this is arguably his team as Estera gets settled.

TE Jen Hallow
It's finally time for the Estera-Hallow connection to hit the collegiate ranks. Hallow was Estera's security blanket back in Myana Northwestern; there is no reason why that shouldn't carry over here.

Offensive Philosophy

With Nicole Estera getting settled as the new Quarterback, expect the Firehawks to run and run often with Thomas, then use play-action. Gone are the days of the pure air raid - instead, this team will try to sustain long drives.

DE Kawana Kimaka
Kimaka is now the big dog in this stable of defensive ends. Kang and Arley can absolutely contribute, but Kimaka from the left edge will be one that will be counted on to make a difference.

OLB Asmodel Propleier
Asmodel has been rising in the depth chart of the Firehawks for a while - and he's ready to take over. He knows how to play in big games, knows how to tackle in space, and has plenty left to prove.

ILB Theo Nilsen
The Vanorian possesses great vision, barking out communication and using his speed to get to the heart of the action. Alongside Shivay Patil, the duo is mobile enough to traverse the width of the field without too much issue.

SS Saya Okayato
For the first time in a while, a Chromatik has taken over this position. She can be injured quite easily, but the fact that there is no hole in her game means that she should slot in very well.

CB Lisa Bonsoon
Arguably one of the biggest hyped defensive recruits in school history, Bonsoon entered the collegiate ranks having returned three picks for touchdowns in her last high school game. She's rangy, aggressive, and absolutely plays on pure instinct. Can her skills translate to the collegiate level? Two seasons' results say yes - she was tremendous in the title run. Now, Bonsoon is the villain that Felswyr State has never had - and she's very happy to remind you of her presence time and time again.

CB Dwight Hellstrom
The old man in the Firehawks' secondary, Hellstrom's instinctive, aggressive play is noteworthy.

Defensive Philosophy

Under Noles, the Firehawks have switched to a more traditional 3-4-4, and utilizes a coverage middle linebacker and a blitzing one on most situations. There is definitely youth all over the field, but they'll try to be aggressive, cause turnovers, and hope that they recover on the back end if that fails. Lisa Bonsoon adds that home run threat who can intercept the ball on any play where the ball is headed her way.

Staramara Tech University Lava
Stadium: Johnston Memorial Stadium, Staramara, Urrhed Island (Cap. 14,500)

MANAGEMENT
Head Coach: Laverna Getz (58)
Offensive Coordinator: Teisha Wagoner (54)
Defensive Coordinator: Candy Vogel (54)
Special Teams Coordinator: Adelle Bernard (47)

Quarterbacks - 3
#03 QB John "JJ" Garret, Jr. - So (20) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Indianapolis, Ranoria
#11 QB Noah Sellers - So (20) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Alnio, Capital District
#09 QB Liria Elleron - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Tor, Urrhed Island

John "JJ" Garret, Jr., the son of John Garret, Sr., one of the greatest names in Ranorian gridiron history, had an up and down season in his first year as starter. The Lava are taking a bit of a gamble, but if he doesn't pen out, Noah Sellers will be here - he that helmed the Martyrs for four seasons. Liria Elleron is a solid body and brain to add to the Quarterback room.

Running Backs - 4
#20 RB Isaga Duhaga - Sr (21) - Height: 5' 10" - Hometown: Busukuma, Banija - OFFENSIVE CAPTAIN
#34 RB Davis Pill - So (20) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island
#26 RB Cyrus Ebincott - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3"- Hometown: Inon, Myana Island
#22 RB Ingrid Schevchenko - So (19) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Norman, Ranoria

Duhaga is the physical, short-yardage back, to be spelled by Davis Pill, another back built in the same frame. Ebincott and Schevehenko are both hybrid backs who are lethal catching passes out of the backfield - with Ingrid being the one with more of an upside.

Fullbacks - 2
#64 FB Angie Wheeler - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island
#37 FB Donatello Etienne - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island

Angie Wheeler is more of a pass blocker than a running one, which is why Donatello is here. Expect him to sub in when they're running.

Wide Receivers - 4
#83 WR Laak Gyles - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 7" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island
#82 WR Edison Dotwiler - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#19 WR Eduard Wallard - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Vitoron, Capital District
#84 WR Kuma Sandt - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 2"- Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island

Gyles replaces Grinner as the one that can tear up the field and Dotwiler and Wallard can both catch passes in the open. When the Lava need to make comebacks, they now have a slew of players that can really catch the ball. Add in Sandt, a precise route runner, and the Lava could go four wide if they really need to. Imagine this team having that kind of flexibility.

Tight Ends - 3
#88 TE Osman Pyatt - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 10" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island
#80 TE Shane Myst - So (20) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#87 TE Wilhelm Daniels - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Lanar, Rainbow District

In order for the Lava to do well, their Tight Ends will have to do well. Pyatt can help with the passing downs, while Myst has developed to be a jump-ball catcher with reach. Wilhelm Daniels, the new face in the room, has great route-running skills.

Offensive Tackles - 4
#73 OT Ikuru Bayongo - Sr (21) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Kihanga, Banija
#79 OT Pietr Sandoff - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 11" - Hometown: Hanai, Capital District
#62 OT Riekr Mundt - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#68 OT Cando Rust - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Bayongo is the jack of all trades from Banija, while Pietr Sandoff is a great passing blocker. Riekr Mundt is a bulldozer of a man who prefers to run-block, and Cando Rust is a well-balanced player. They remain the biggest question for the Lava's offense given that it's all underclassmen.

Offensive Guards - 4
#75 OG Perry Rend - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Felswyr, Mountain District
#76 OG Ryan Iskendor - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 7" - Hometown: Lhor, Coastal District
#78 OG Anvil Rogoston - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Z'ai'ai, Mountain District
#71 OG Natayn Gorbeshev - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Alnio, Capital District

Perry Rend and Ryan Iskendor move up to be the starters - Rend has become a quick, handsy blocker while Iskendor is a run-blocking specialist. Rogoston can backpedal with the best of them, and Gorbeshev is a mountain of a player that is hard to move.

Centers - 3
#67 C Ezekiel Dungste - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#65 C Merik Jungston - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Alnio, Capital District
#70 C Evan Rheese - So (20) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island

Ezekiel Dungste has won the battle to be the starter after Park's graduation, and the quicker center will have the task of coordinating a veteran group. Merik Jungsten is a much bigger piece, while Even Rheese has the potential to be better than either of them.

DEFENSE
Philosophy: The Lava run a 4-3, Cover 2, with an emphasis on stopping the run and pressuring the Quarterback. They aren't the best at stopping the pass, but in an ideal game, they'll control time of possession and get at the Quarterback enough times that it limits the opposition.

Defensive Ends - 4
#62 DE Lennard Thompson - Fr (18) - Height: 6' 11" - South Newlandia
#63 DE Lee Bo-Mi - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#66 DE Paul Everson - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 7" - Hometown: Felswyr, Mountain District
#60 DE Miyata Izanagi - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 6" - Hometown: Pelar, Rainbow District

Every one of these players are fast blitzers with a nose for the football; Thompson has the most pure speed, Lee is the relentless one, and Everson shines in clutch situations. Add in Ezanagi, someone who loves shedding blocks, and this group is as good as ever. Thompson is the best prospect out of South Newlandia in a while.

Defensive Tackles - 3
#59 DT Tano Yuu - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Knetyohai, Rainbow District
#58 DT Paul Grayson - So (20) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Felswyr, Mountain District
#50 DT William Bosfort - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 6" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Tano Yuu is a brick that can't be moved, Paul Grayson has a quick first step, and William Bosfort is surprisingly agile for a defensive tackle.

Outside Linebackers - 4
#69 OLB Aurana Mikel - So (20) - Height: 6' 1" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island
#49 OLB Frieda Seyfried - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Ming, Mountain District
#42 OLB Sina Hönigsmann - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Z'ai'ai, Mountain District
#43 OLB Henri Jefferson - So (20) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Umbar, Mountain District

Freida Seyfried is here - with both size and reach - but it's the emergence of Aurana Mikel that has this defense buzzing. She can bliz, she can cover, and she can make life miserable for would-be tight ends. Hönigsmann is a speeding bullet, and Jefferson is a physical run stuffer who will shine in special teams.

Middle Linebackers - 3
#41 MLB Irina Jones - Jr (20) - Height: 6' 6" - Hometown: Pelar, Rainbow District
#47 MLB Kevin Weathers - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 10" - Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island
#51 MLB Lars Benny - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Lorentine, Heartland District

You can't replace someone like Lucius Agot easily, but Irina Jones might be that person. She has high stamina, a brutal efficiency in generating first contact, and the ability to put fear into her opposition. Her major drawback is that sometimes, she overcommits, leading to looking silly. When asked, she's said that it's just a necessary evil, as it's worth it to generate the big plays when she does. A great fit for a defense that has enough good players to pick up the slack when she inevitably tries to do too much. Kevin Weathers is a jack of all trades with plenty of physicality, while Lars Benny knows how to fill a stats sheet.

Safeties - 4
#28 FS Harold Hynes - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island
#39 SS Rayisa Leonidivna Andrushchenko - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Wirr Tsi, Capital District
#35 SS Min Do-Han - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#31 FS Ilrid Jan-Hines - So (20) - Height: 6' 1" - Hometown: Tihon, Urrhed Island

Harold Hynes is a ball hawk, while Andrushchenko is a bit more of a run stuffer. Jan-Hines is more of a coverage safety, while Min is a blanket safety who knows how to take away tight ends.

Cornerbacks - 5
#25 CB Lyla Pale - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 9" - Hometown: Pria, Coastal District
#27 CB Józefina Denko - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Tihon, Urrhed Island
#21 CB Marc Cielle - So (20) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island
#24 CB Raoul Ging - So (20) - Height: 6' 11" - Hometown: Z'ai'ai, Mountain District
#29 CB Killian DeMeko - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Lyla Pale is now the best corner on this roster, specializing in one-on-one matchups, with range; Józefina Denko moves from the nickel role, being a human missile who isn't afraid to make contact. Marc Cielle is speedy, while Raoul Ging has enough range to cover anything thrown within three yards of him. Killian DeMeko rounds out the roster with solid tackling skills and a mean streak to boot.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Philosophy: STU special teams is all about field position and not much about scoring. This team likes to go for it on fourth and short, so they're fine playing second fiddle.

Kickers - 2
#09 K Marie-Madeleine Guilloux - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island - SPECIAL TEAMS CAPTAIN
#18 K Evan Wakes - So (20) - Height: 5' 10" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District

Marie-Madeleine is lethal from between the forties, and decent from beyond.

Punters - 1
#15 P Nathanaël De la Croix - Jr (21) - Height: 5' 11" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District

De la Croix is someone who can make the punt to change the entire game.

[Cardenao]

“Check left thirty-threeeee……Downnnn…SET……HUT!”

After what felt like an hour, the ball was finally snapped to his hands and the play was already ruined. As he dropped down into the pocket, his timing was off, his feet were loose and too far apart but he snapped his mind to it as he went through his progression.

Reddick? Covered.

Saivion? Fast but not enough separation to thread it.

Dump off to Reno Thai? Safe option but he wanted some distance.

Nejc? Open but gotta throw it perf—

He was so distracted in making his reads, the quarterback never saw the pressure coming before he felt a tag, well more like a heavy handed push that knocked him back.

“Sorry Bobby, you got got baby!”

Bobby Dials, junior QB and captain for the BSU Broncos, looked up in a bit of a daze as Alabaster Red flashed him a smile and a cheeky fucking wink. Ever since Alabaster had finished as the runner-up to last year’s college-wide defensive player of the year award, the linebacker had been all sorts of extra. But what annoyed Bobby was that the extraness was deserved, that Alabaster kept rising from challenge to challenge as they both entered their junior year, meanwhile everything was just off for Bobby to start the year.

“What the fuck was that?!” Bobby spat out.

Big Red looked back at his QB in surprise, it was rare that Bobby snapped like this. Perfection demanded perfection though, how else were the Broncos supposed to improve? A poor first season gave way to a much improved season last year, Bobby had quarterbacked his team to a division title and the winner’s medal in the Drawk Bowl, but that was all in the past. For Bobby, for the Broncos, for LeBois, it was a new year, with new expectations, and a new sense of obligation to succeed.

So that’s why he was screaming criticism. Not at himself, not at Big Red who had slipped past Gabe Hunter like the tackle didn’t exist before ‘sacking’ Bobby, no, he was pissed at Rejhan Tatum his center, for seemingly fucking up the snap. So here he was, yelling at the junior but first year starter, yelling at him for fucking up the count, for messing up the snap, for failing to put the ball in Bobby’s hands perfectly.

‘Yo dog…Bobby B…what you doing man? What’s going on?

“We gotta be perfect Brett, it’s on us this year to get our shit together and bring our game up.

“You think we don’t know that? We got all the love for you man, you’re our leader, you’re our QB, but you’re not the only one out there putting in the hours to be perfect. We all want to win big dog, gotta keep our cool!” Backup quarterback Brett Hannah yelled to him.

“I get that man…you want to win, I want to win…the clock is ticking and everyone is looking to me to bring us over the line. I need to get it done, I can’t have a shitty snap or me reacting to a shitty snap when it’s all on the line bro!

The clouds over the Broncos training facility finally broke and the sun shone on the field. Bobby closed his eyes and took in the noises of football, the pads clashing, the whooping of wide receivers as they pulled in a catch, linesmen grunting as they pushed the sled, for him it was a soothing, centering sound. He couldn’t lash out like that, that wasn’t like him, that wasn’t like a captain, a leader, the quarterback.

“You’re not like that B, breathe, you got time, killer!” Brett said.

Big Bobby Dials…those words felt good. Validation, every quarterback, shit, every player desperately needed that. As good as he’s been for two years now, Bobby was still a college kid and needed some support.

“I know I got the time…just got me nervous, everything…me, it needs to be perfect bro, all of it.”

“I know man, that’s valid! Shake it off, don’t miss a beat, and get that lightning in your feet, you got it!”

Brett had settled in nicely to the team. He was the first man to jump off the bench to celebrate, the first to rub his hand over his face when things didn’t go to plan, he played practice like it was a game, he was a player’s player and Bobby had high hopes for him.

“Yo,” a voice that was way closer to him than he realized called out to him, “You good? Need me to run a play so you can breathe?” Brett asked.

Bobby hadn’t realized he’d run over to the sideline, that he he needed air. Bobby’s brain was spitting at him, ‘You need to succeed, throw it perfect bitch boy or don’t show up.’ This was fun.

He closed his eyes.

It was going to be a long season.

BSU Is Back! Positional Previews For the Broncos and New Cardonia State!!

Quarterbacks:

Broncos: Who else would it be but Bobby Dials leading the team out of the tunnel for the third year. While there are serious questions if Bobby D will return for his senior year, there is no question that he keeps the offense ticking with accurate throwing and his ability to scramble away from pressure. Brett Hannah has become the backup QB with his bomb of an arm but is unlikely to see substantial gametime as Mr. BSU is comfortably the team’s QB1. Netane Skipper, always been a backup and that’s not changing in his senior year, if by chance he does touch the field, expect to see that boy running.

Thunderhawks: Perhaps the highest rated recruit to come to any Cardenaoan school, Nick Singer comes to the Thunderhawks with the keys to this pass-first offense. A multisport athlete in football, where he developed an incredible arm to be the biggest Ranorian QB prospect since Valliente Wagner-Young with multiple 60+ yard throws, and baseball, where he went undefeated in his last three seasons as a pitcher, to become perhaps the prototypical quarterback prospect. Did we mention he’s a healthy 6 foot 6 too? Quite the prospect! His understudy is senior Jalen Williams, a brilliant scrambler with a 4.41 40-yard dash time though his arm leaves a lot to be desired. Freshman Trent Delarian brings a composed passing presence who’s capable of hitting targets at all three levels of the field while his deep understanding of the playbook helps him find the perfect moments to pass. Don’t be surprised if he redshirts for this freshman year, a two quarterback system with fellow freshman Nick Singer is unlikely to end with both QBs fulfilling their potential but that could be a direction head coach Stefan LePlure goes.

Running Backs:

Broncos: Hopes are high for Reno Thai as the freshman will be starting for the Broncos. With the best O-line the Broncos have had for years ahead of him and the constant threat of Bobby Dials, Reno the powerful runner will be expected to eat faces for breakfast. Anthony DeWitt is the battering-ram, short yard back and with the amount of vitamins in his system, tackling him is gonna hurt you. Malik Carter was a pleasant surprise last season as he emerged as a promising catch receiver from the backfield, with his 37 yarder against BYU one of the highlights of the season. Alejandro Garrina could see some minutes against blitz-heavy defenses, the junior has an otherworldly sense for where the pressure is coming from but lacks the speed to be a truly serviceable rotation piece. The recruitment of Reno Thai overshadowed the signing of fellow freshmen Zaro Rodriguez, a shorter yet extremely slippery runner that reportedly has head coach Steve Valentine thinking about a future two-back system if Zaro can develop properly. Colt Fulton is unlikely to see much time as he continues to recover from an ACL tear last season, but if the 20 year old does hit the field, his route running and hands from backfield make him a constant reception threat.

Thunderhawks: A powerhouse of this offense for the last two years, junior Mason Steele once again lines up as the team’s go-to running back. The 21 year year shifty with the ball in his hands and can pivot on a dime running out of the backfield, but his true strength comes from his catching and his ability to turn up field and gain yards after the catch. Senior Javelion Bland also returns as the back-up back, the 22 year old can always be counted on to slip out of a tackle or two to get five or six yards, he’s rarely an open field threat but when you need guaranteed yardage, he gets the call. True freshman Zachary Perez of New Gesem was a somewhat unknown recruit despite going for over a thousand yards in each of his sophomore, junior, and senior years. The boy is huge, a musclebound freak who can power into the hole and explode for serious gains. There are some who question if he’ll be able to compete at this higher level where every player is physically gited, but the fact the Gesemite has already seemingly solidified a place as a rotation piece is a promising sign. Joining him in this freshman backfield is Cardenaoan Mario LePlus, a lightning quick though perhaps slightly built player out of Tamiami. While LePlus is a constant big play threat, he will have to develop in the weightroom before significant minutes at the position. With all this fresh talent and a year spent recovering from an ACL tear, junior Javaire Caron has seen his role in this offense fall to essentially non-existant, but that’s just setting him up for a solid bounceback season. When healthy, the 206 pound 5’10 monster is a wrecking ball coming out of the backfield, smashing through tackles and keeping his legs moving to gain yards after contact. The final injection of fresh blood to the backfield comes from Joshua Romo from New Cardonia. Whether he remains a running back or transitions to the wide reciever position remains to be seen, as he’s essentially a WR with the way he’s used in the backfield, bursting past the line of scrimmage hoping to catch one and use his speed to take it to the house. He is not very reliable as an actually running running back, which brings his usability in the backfield into question, so this is an interesting question for Stefan LePlure to figure out.

Tight Ends:

Broncos: Last year was finally the year Nejc Graciano got his skillset to match his considerable physical gifts. The junior caught 37 passes which were good for 518 yards and nine touchdowns, not bad for a walk-on! There is some level of anxiety if he’ll be able to repeat or surpass this statline in the upcoming season as the team has some new options for their gameplan. Jonathan Duckworth is…not reliable as a passing option but damn is he good at blocking and buying the QB some precious time. Eyebrows were raised at the recruitment of Erik Skarsgård from Tikariot, a nation known for their prowess in the other football, but at 6’6 and a very agile 235 pounds, this might end up being a smart signing as reports from training camp laud the freshman’s overall physical abilities but say he needs to put in a lot of work to become a catching threat.

Thunderhawks: The first in a trio of Chromatik freshmen is highly rated tight end Qamiya Parrine. At an incredible 6’7 and seemingly a route-running genius, Qamiya arrives as a player who can run every type of route and has the build to be a serviceable pass blocker on top. Irv Koyack is the #2 here and makes use of a solid vertical to perform surprisingly athletic catches for someone his size, and he has a unique ability to tuck the ball into his body as he pushes through contact, ensuring he earns a couple yards after contact to push the drive forward. Jamin Price, the only upperclassman in the position, brings a different, more short and stout presence to the lineup. Sure he’s not quite the overall offensive threat as the two youngsters, but damn is he dense and damn can he sit on the line and provide more than capable blocking. Sure, Jamin Price isn’t going to be a mainstay of the offensive scheme like the other tight ends, but his unique blocking skill set means he will certainly have his moments keeping Nick Singer standing up.

Wide Receivers:

Broncos: Reliable veteran Antonio Reddick once again emerges as the go-to option for Bobby Dials. The senior wideout has velvet hands and is a terror in the red zone. To say that the rise of Saivion Ware to the WR2 position for the Broncos last season was unexpected would be putting it lightly. The then-freshman was recruited to zero fanfare but when he put up a statline of three catches, 93 yards, and two touchdowns in week 5, it got everyone talking. The deceptively powerful receiver went from highlight to highlight from there as he emerged as Bobby Dials favorite target, eating up yards with ambitious route running. Keenan McCroy is an unexciting but dependable option, he’s not gonna have ‘the big play’ but if you need 7-12 yards, he’s your guy. Tywin Shabeux? Boy is he fast! But damn is it a bit annoying that he drops the easiest catches, it’s like he’s more interested in being The Fastest Guy On The Field, and less interested in being a, I don’t know, halfway competent receiver? But damn, he is fast and a constant threat to take any reception to the house. Jamichael Perkins recruitment will have Bobby Dials licking his lips as the 6’4 freshman brings a huge body with great hands and an evasive running style. The only problem? Hamstring issues, not ideal in a power athlete. At the end of the bench is Gigi Dudley, the sophomore entered last season as an unknown, shot into notice with a 3 TD, 192 yard performance against Napoli-Zinemar City University in a week 2 routing, then disappeared back into nothingness with a couple big catches and another touchdown on the season. So it seems the potential might be there? But also maybe not? Gigi will have to work hard to move up the bench as the Broncos pass attack remains their go-to weapon.

Thunderhawks: Quiet whispers out of Puente Salista talk highly of a superbly talented wide receiving threat who has the build, the hands, and the route running to potentially be a generational talent: Deacon St. John. The fact that he’s emerged from pre-season as legendary coach Stefan LePlure’s WR1 says a lot about his quality. Lining up next to him is junior John Hughes, a powerful 5’10 athlete who runs a sub 4.3 40-yard dash and is always a deep shot threat. WR3 goes to senior Kieran McCroy, a reliable route runner but lacking that elite bit of athleticism that the pair of receivers in front of him have. Kario Memphis is a huge target, it’s hard to miss a 6’7 wideout so he can guarantee yards but he lacks the speed to create separation on longer routes, meaning he’s relegated to short-mid range sets. Next off the bench is freshman recruit Pule Tuigamela from the Utahn Theocratic Republic, he’s got a good body, decent hands, passable speed, he’s a solid relief option if leaving some to be desired. Finally there’s domestic freshman Dillon Periman, a jack-of-all-trades, master of none style player who can run a route decently, possess good but not great speed, catches most balls, he’s got a good foundation but needs to improve across the board to see significant snaps.

Guards:

Broncos: It’s hard to look past Quebecois Marwin Finlayson at the guard position…no seriously, it’s physically hard to look past him, 6’8 312lbs…my word. The senior Cortez Del Rio has been sensational during his time with the Broncos and his combination of speed and power will be heavily relied on once again to keep Bobby upright. Erik Byrd showed a lot of potential during his freshman year, managing to start two games through injuries from those in front of him and did a commendable job at diffusing pressure to let plays develop. As Cortez Del Rio heads towards graduation, Erik Byrd will be eager to secure the starting position for next year. Unfortunately for him, he’ll be facing big opposition. Coming from our neighbors in the Ochre Islands, it’s Big Frank Shrubsman. The 6’6, 319 pound freshman bigboy is about as powerpacked as an offensive lineman can be, and the prospect of having Big Frank and Marwin Finlayson lining up? Oh boy.

Thunderhawks: Starting for the Thunderhawks at guard are a pair of big boys from Eastern Cardenao, where they just grow them bigger for some reason. The most talented player on the O-line is Tayvion Jenkins, the 6’6 315lbs+ freak from San Gael, a town with less than 400 inhabitants. Tayvion can really do it all with his size, power, and agility, and specializes in keeping the quarterback standing up. Opposite of him is Cortez Del Rio from Küsbon, Eastern Cardenao, a powerful athlete who loves getting into it with the defensive line. Christina Paol of Schima Bas brings something different to the position with her slight build, but her speed and surprising strength make her promising as a run protector. As the only underclassmen in the position, she’s likely to see plenty of developmental snaps. Finally there’s the junior Victor Leyva, who brings a lot of stout power to the position but lacks the quick, agile feet that makes an offensive linemen truly serviceable. With the only underclassmen being an undersized female, you can bet New Cardonia State will be recruiting heavily for this position in the offseason.

Tackles:

Broncos: Only one name to try to look past here and that’s Gabriel Santos Dos Liminas de Varacruz Manuel y Miguel. The 24 year old senior is hoping to go out with a bang and will do everything humanly possible to keep Bobby Dials safe from the defensive line. Gabe Hunter won the other starting tackle position, and the sophomore is very quick for a guard, while Devonta Clellen is an extremely powerful blocking force and the senior Cicero Astrad brings a well-balanced profile to the field.

Thunderhawks: Tanielu Tupua of Utah is obviously the big draw for the tackle position, the 6’7 freshman has reportedly had an immediate positive impact in the locker room with his light-hearted, joking nature, while his controlled aggression on the field and discipline with his hands means the sky could be the limit. Ronald Morris is a tried and true presence at the tackle, having started for the Thunderhawks since his freshman year and provides a great pass protection option. Mark Markson is perhaps unglamorous on the line, but he knows how to keep his man on his heels and has the agility to whip around the offensive line to clear out on run plays. Tucker Bayfield, he’s big, he’s hard, he’s a wrecking ball on the line. Unfortunately, just like at the guard position, there is only one underclassmen for the tackles, meaning the offensive line is going to need huge reinforcements next year.

Centers:

Broncos: Unfortunately for the Broncos, the center position is looking the weakest it has in years. With Seyanor Marvel’s graduation, a drop in quality was always going to happen but hopes are high for Rejhan Tatum from the island of Vaareda after two years as Seyanor’s understudy. Garret Dunaway is a big body but he lacks the quick feet required to be viable over four quarters but in a pinch he can come in. Carlos Rodriguez showed some potential before a broken arm put him out of contention for the rest of his freshman year, so expectations have been tempered for his recovery season.

Thunderhawks: Rounding off the excellent pass protecting members of the offensive line, it’s Segun Spriggs who’s been one of the best centers in Cardenao since he made his debut as a true freshman starter. The 21 year old junior has the size and the power you want from a center, but he brings very quick feet to the position and can manipulate his defender however he wants. Rejhan Marrymore from the island of Vaareda has been a more than capable backup after losing his starting role to Segun, the 22 year old senior brings a lot of power in a short frame and loves to push his defender back, but this occasionally opens the quarterback up to increased pressure. Once again, there is only one underclassmen on the roster going into this season, the sophomore Romeo Davis who brings agility to the position.

Defense:

Tackles:

Broncos: The arrival of a pair of international freshmen to the tackle position and a local born defensive end has elevated the defensive line to being one of the Broncos biggest strengths. Much like Marwin Finlayson on the other side of the line, Jair Judge is HUGE at six feet, eight inches and the Ranorian displays astonishing quickness for someone with that build. Vanorian Elias Olden lines up at the other tackle position, he’s got great hands and knows how to use them, and has an incredible first step with a burst of pace. Unfortunately for Mwayi Seo-Joon and his surprisingly solid redshirt freshman campaign, the two newcomers have pushed him down the pecking order, at least to start the season, but fans will be eager to see the lightning quick 20 year old rusher back in the saddle. Travis Whitaker brings something different to the position for the Broncos with his strongly built frame giving him more power than the other options, great for knocking back a particularly resilient beef boy on the OL.

Thunderhawks: Boye Maybin returns for his senior year at the tackle position, with the six foot six power giant ready to smash through offensive lines around the NSCF. Carlos Mukuamo is ‘slightly built’ at ‘only’ 302lbs for his 6’4 frame, and that gives him an agility boost compared to the typical lineman, he loves to pull a row move to get past the line and sack the QB. Theo Mon’Sinclair is a bit of an unknown from the island of Juacuacanos, but already 6’5 and 312 pounds means the 18 year old can truck from the first day.

Ends:

Broncos: The Broncos won the race for the highest rated domestic defensive prospect when they secured 18 year old Mack King. 69 tackles, 19 for a loss, and 14 sacks as a high school senior, it’s easy to see why fans are excited about a player who seems to be more powerful and much, much quicker than the norm; the hype is real. Mack King is just about as fast a defensive end as you could see while the versatility of his moves points towards a high potential if he can develop properly. Lining up with him is senior Dustin Sheppard, the 6’4 22 year old knows how to plug the gap and shut down the run game. Montrazel Brown will be fighting for a starting spot and relies on hard hitting tackles, trying to pop the ball free. Isaiah Mitchell showed some promise last season as he deputized for Dustin Cheppard, and it certainly seems he grew and bulked up some over the summer. Sure, Mack King is the highly anticipated youngster, but Mitchell will be looking to make an impact in his own way.

Thunderhawks: The star of the show at defensive end is Caden Larrazabal, a powerfully built but quick and agile athlete who can give any offensive line a hard time. Trinton Axpe is a real bowling ball at the position and loves to charge into the line with reckless abandon. 18 year old Utahn Garran Cluff is an intriguing prospect, at 6’6 he’s tall and can swat down passes but only 247 pounds means he’s got a lot of bulking up to do, but damn the boy is fast and can blow past O-lines to disrupt plays.

Middle Linebackers:

Broncos: There’s a fair amount of hype for Laura Davis, with the freshman lauded for her remarkable quickness despite her size, snatching three interceptions in her senior year and generally being a menace to the other team. Zane Anderson fills in as a solid run denial option as the 20 year old loves bursting down the seam to wreak havoc in the backfield. Sophomore Cristian Salisu brings incredible acceleration and pace to the position, always racing to wherever the action is…which is part of the problem. Salisu is always reacting to the play, rarely anticipating it and being where he should be in advance. He’s fast enough to make it all work, but it certainly leaves something to be desired.

Thunderhawks: Sophomore Rashan Nijman of Vaareda emerged as one of the premier run stopping linebackers in Cardenaoan college football last season as he dominated the middle of the park with his blend of size, speed, and play recognition. Núñez Riberio earned praise with his ability to read the offense and organize his defense accordingly while freshman Rudi Larkin projects to be a solid pass coverage option with his length and vertical ability.

Outside Linebackers:

Broncos: Alabaster Red. Does Bobby Dials get all the headlines? Sure. But could Alabaster Red perhaps be the best player on the team? The voters seem to think so. Runner-up in the Defensive Player of the Year award is an incredible honor and a testament to the year he had. 128 tackles, 79 solo, 13.0 for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two interceptions, that’s how you do it. Listen, Big Red was great his freshman year, incredible his sophomore year, but can he really match or exceed that level of play? It would take something truly special, but with said award recognition, he might just be up to the challenge. Zaire Montclaire had a solid season, proving to be quite the pass disrupter, freeing up Alabaster to do his thing, which makes Zaire the perfect partner starter. Treyshawn Gutierrez the go-to man for big hitting, run stopping plays, while he’s also been used as a hard hitting enforcer because…the lad is big! Skodabi Marquez is a bit of an unknown, coming in from the Carmavora Valley in Eastern Cardenao, but word from the streets is he’s basically an oversized cornerback who has the body mass and tackling of a traditional linebacker.

Thunderhawks: At a senior dominated position, four year starter Nakobe Belton is the first name on the depth chart. A professional-league ready body, Nakobe is a true ball hawk and a suffocating pass defender. Julio Alarcon is a more powerful athlete who loves ripping into the hole to stuff a ball carrier. Valerio Zarragoza is the only underclassmen here and he brings a lot of speed and general athleticism to the position while senior Geraldo Uriz is built like a truck and hits like one too.

Cornerbacks:

Broncos: Known for his flashy celebrations after a big play, Mateo Marino brings a tantalizing blend of size and speed to the cornerback position. He’s got decent enough catching hands, but his length and pass defense skill means he almost always looks to just slap the ball away…he’s good at it but Bronco fans would likely appreciate him snagging a few more picks. Fortunately freshman Nate Hart seems much more proficient as an interception threat, boasting blazing speed and a surprisingly powerful tackle despite his shorter stature. Inbound freshman Conrad Siolla from Schima Bas brings a physical approach to the position where he’s best set just aiming himself at the ball carrier like a heat seeking missile. Rogerio Ludovico brings an interesting profile to the position, the freshman from Tamiami uses his strength to beat down opponents while his brash cockiness has the tendency to rattle his matchup.

Thunderhawks: Theodore Usania of Chromatika has the potential to be one of the best cornerbacks in college football from the first day. At 6’5 he has incredible size for the position and that alone means he can contest any ball thrown his way, but his real strength comes as a run support asset. Andreas Sparrelind of Tikariot has been a great pass coverage player as a Thunderhawk, with fantastic speed and agility to keep up with any sort of wide receiver. Mac Maghnuis is quick, aggressive, and plays on pure instinct. He’s a real livewire out there and sometimes that goes great, sometimes less so. Teijeh Nieddu has proven to be the Thunderhawks best interception threat as he snatched six picks last year. Hartiz Arteria is only six foot but he has a ridiculous 6’8 wingspan and a great vertical, meaning he’s got the tools to be a lockdown cornerback but he’s definitely got some developing to do on the technical aspects of the position.

Safeties:

Broncos: As a starting true freshman, Heinrik Dessler enters his first game with the potential to be one of the premier pass covering safeties in the entire NSCF. Tall, long, a total ball-hawk, the Chromatik has the potential to be a lock-down defender for the Broncos. Bo Barnett has won the other starting position, his incredible speed and agility make him a versatile player in the backfield, with his calculated aggression resulting in game-changing interceptions and hit-stick worthy tackles. Mayo Rodriguez patrols the deep field with a keen anticipation for opponents play and a deep understanding of zone coverage. Dominic Hargunda is an energetic and outgoing senior who brings a contagious enthusiasm to the locker room. He’s not the best player, but he’s a key part of the team, always the life of the party, ready to turn a regular day into something legendary. He’s got the build, acceleration, and agility to be a battering ram as he charges from the backfield towards the opposing running back as he excels with big hits to shut down the run game. He has awful hands though and can turn an easy interception into an even easier drop.

Thunderhawks: Jerome Peavy returns after a great redshirt freshman season, is a hard hitting safety with a knack for punching the ball free. At 6’2 with a good vertical, he’s also more than capable as a pass defender. Jay Reed is a junior speed demon who’s comfortable covering the run and pass while senior César Abdala plays best when he charges down the field to meet the ballcarier with a punishing tackle. Dani Gonzalez is a pure pass coverage option who can cover all sorts of receivers, but the junior’s injury proneness has made him an unreliable option. Freshman Phrez Marenial is an interesting prospect for the future, he’s got solid speed and incredible jumping but his hands are…not great and he’s got some concentration problems, so a redshirt season might do him some good.

New National High School Football League: Preview within!

For the first time ever, a high school football league has been organized across Cardenao. The competition is to be named the Cardenao High School Football League and will begin with ten schools participating, five in Western Cardenao, five in Eastern Cardenao, with the teams being placed in either the Sunrise or Sunset Division depending on their location. There are some rule changes as well to facilitate more competitive play at this level of competition, including quarters being 12 minutes long, catching only requiring one foot inbounds, and different field dimensions. Upon conclusion of the regular season, the top three seeded teams from each division will progress to the Championship tournament. The top seeded team in each conference will receive a first round bye and home field advantage, while the second seeded team in each conference will receive home field advantage for their first round matchup against the third seeded team from the other division.

Sunset Conference:

Academia Cardonia ‘Knights’
RB: Andrew Kun Wah Lee, Junior
QB: Thomas Romeijnsen, Senior
WR: Grant Ennis, Senior

The Academia Cardonia Knights hail from the capital and bring a high powered offense to the field, always looking for a big play on the ground or in the air. Andrew Kun Wah Lee is the top high school running back in the nation and is equally comfortable running and catching the ball. Senior quarterback Thomas Romeijnsen brings a dart of an arm to the offense, which pairs perfectly with Grant Ennis, a route running genius with some real soft hands.

Escuela Nacíonal DCPF
WR/CB: Javarrian Uriarte, Senior
K: Jaxon Larrañaga, Sophomore
DT: Koldo Davis Montrimary, Junior

The nation’s premier football…err…soccer academy in the country, Escuela Nacíonal De Cardenao Por Fútbol adds another type of football to their operation. Senior wideout Javarrian Uriarte is one of the most exciting receivers in the nation, boasting elite physical attributes while playing the other side of the ball as a highly rated cornerback. Sophomore kicker Jaxon Larrañaga made waves on social media as a freshman when he hit back to back to back 70 yarders (albeit after a practice with no defensive pressure) in the middle of a perfect season where he made every field goal and every point after. Koldo Davis Montrimary is a real threat as one of the fastest defensive tackles in Cardenaoan high school football, but with a powerful build that’s definitely college ball ready.

Ficilian Point High School ‘Raiders’
QB: Nico Weston, Senior
WR/CB: Kyle Session, Senior
WR: Andrew Legnfish, Junior

The Ficilian Point Raiders are a pass-first offense who put the ball in the air an inordinate amount of times. Senior Quarterback Nico Weston is the man leading the show, and he’s led high school football in passing touchdowns for the last two years too. Of course, throwing to Kyle Session makes things a bit easier as the senior caught the ball 76 times last season for 1,290 yards and 19 touchdowns. Andrew Legnfish has been another dynamic target, taking in 41 catches for 900 yards and 12 tuddies to boot.

Riverstone International School ‘Otters’
TE/DE: Vittorio Bermuda, Senior
OG: Joel Azpita, Senior
QB: Gavin Jaramillo, Junior

It’s likely to be a rough year for Riverstone Otters as they’re…simply not good. Tight end/defensive end combo Vittorio Bermuda is the exception to that, the senior is a legitimate threat as a pass catcher and he doesn’t mind getting deep in the blocking work. Joel Azpita is a strong boy who’s rated as one of the best pass protecting guards in the country, which junior quarterback Gavin Jaramillo is thankful for. Jaramillo stands tall in the pocket, calm and collected even when he’s about to be hit, the kid is ice cold and he’s got an accurate arm, if not quite a bomb thrower.

Timberline High School ‘Wolves’
DE: Elmo Cisarinho, Junior
LB: John Carlos Minhrew, Senior
RB: Tony DeWitt, Senior

The Timberline Wolves are a defense first team who hits hard and grinds out games on the ground. The ‘Blue Wall’ is led by junior defensive end Elmo Cisarinho who emerged as one of the most dominant defensive forces last season. If you make it through him, there’s the four year starting linebacker John Carlos Minhrew who can tackle hard, cover the pass well, and direct the defense brilliantly. Running back Tony DeWitt is the man on offense, and the senior has an outrageous amount of muscle and strength packed into his build, the kid is an absolute bowling ball.

Sunrise Conference:

Brøgby Preparatory Academy ‘Miners’
CB: Kepa Sullivan, Senior
S: Alex Martinez, Junior
QB: Michael Monrovia, Senior

The Brøgby Miners are a defensively minded team yet still a skilled operation on offense. Senior cornerback Kepa Sullivan is one of the best in the nation and is a lockdown machine. Behind him is the junior safety Alex Martinez who blasted onto the scene last year with eight interceptions. Senior quarterback Michael Monrovia runs the show on offense and the kid has a big arm, he can throw some serious bombs but he’s not a mobile QB and that could hurt him at the higher level.

Hathathia High School ‘Pirates’
LB: Pau van Goff-Icleson, Junior
QB: Stan Aniol Dereschi, Sophomore
CB: Darren Fizza, Senior

Hopes aren’t likely to be high for the Hathathia Pirates as they said goodbye to several talented players heading into the season. Linebacker Pau van Goff-Icleson is an absolute monster behind the line and can cover the pass or run options equally skillfully. Sophomore QB Stan Aniol Dereschi is a very interesting, two-way quarterback who can throw dimes but hit the ground running if need be. Looking back at the defense, senior cornerback Darren Fizza ‘Fizzler’ is looking to build on a junior season where he was one of the best coverage corners in the nation.

J.C. Evermore Academy
LB/RB: Zayne Echols, Senior
WR: Pokey Wilson, Sophomore
P/K: Xavi Hartel, Senior

The J.C. Evermore Academy has a solid level of quality across the board and plays a cautious brand of football. Linebacker Zayne Echols has earned praise for his ability to organize his defense while also running for over 1100 yards as the team’s starting running back. Sophomore Pokey Wilson had an unexpectedly fantastic season as a freshman, pulling in 42 targets for 967 yards and nine touchdowns. Senior Xavi Hartel is the best punter in the nation and one of the best kickers too.

Obyedako High
C: Zaccaria Rochus, Senior
TE: Isiah Zanelli, Junior
QB: Raymund Fitzgerald, Freshman

Obyedako High will not have much to celebrate this season but they can be counted on to play with a positive game plan, they might not have the talent but they definitely have the heart. Center Zaccaria Rochus is a great player and is getting heavily recruited from Cardenaoan colleges. Junior tight end Isiah Zanelli is a great blocker on the line, one of the best in the country, and seems to be slowly but surely improving his catching. A big unknown is Raymund Fitzgerald, the freshman who’s been given the starting role but is rumored to have a great arm and some running ability too.

Skyview Mountain Academy ‘Fliers’
WR/CB: Dejanian Mentor, Senior
QB: Peppi Klerkx, Junior
WR: Hodei White, Junior

The Skyview Mountain Academy Fliers, predictably, love airing it out and will be competing for the Sunrise division title. Wide receiver Dejanian Mentor is one of the best in the business, capable of making outrageous catches and leaving his defenders in the dust. He also plays the other side of the ball as a top-tier intercepting cornerback. Peppi Klerkx is the man under center and the junior can make every type of throw. Hodei White is one of the fastest players in the league, and is a constant deep-shot threat.

Projected Finish:

Sunrise Division:
1. Brøgby Preparatory Academy
2. Skyview Mountain Academy
3. J.C. Evermore Academy
4. Hathathia High School
5. Obyedako High

Sunset Division:
1. Ficilian Point High School
2. Escuela Nacíonal DCPF
3. Academia Cardonia
4. Timberline High School
5. Riverstone International School
