As you may have read in the second part of Lorenzo Smith II's bio, Lorenzo once had a very good friend named Dylan. Dylan and Lorenzo had been friends since they knew how to talk. You may have read that they were more than just friends, that they were brothers. You may have also read that one night Dylan never came back to his dorm room, and that Lorenzo Smith later learned that his best friend of more than 10 years had been tragically killed in a car accident later that day. Dylan was such a cornerstone in Lorenzo Smith's life, and I feel that he wasn't really talked about enough in Smith;s bio for how big of an impact this life and death had on Lorenzo. So, I'm writing this media piece to pay tribute to Dylan, a lifelong friend and brother of the league's very own Lorenzo Smith II.
Dylan first met Lorenzo when he was a very young child. His family and Lorenzo's family were the only two families that lived in their town. This would be a surprising fact if you never read part one of Lorenzo Smith II's nbio, where he details how he grew up in the smallest city in the United States, and at least the second smallest city in the world. Because of how small the town was, it didn't even have a preschool, and both Lorenzo and Dylan had to go to a neighboring town, one that was not nearly as small as their own, just to go to school when thye were young. It was in these early years, before they could even talk, that they began to grow together as not only friends, but as brothers. This was also where Lorenzo learned ow to have fun, even if this meant breaking the rules. During recess almost every day he ad Dylan would stay outside during recess for a few extra minutes. They would make their teacher have to catch them. Their teacher also happened to be future head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Nick Saban. Nick saw these two children and knew that one day, Lorenzo Smith II would definitely be an athlete. Lorenzo was fast, strong, and quick on his feet. Dylan was still fast, strong, and quick on his feet, but not nearly as much so as Lorenzo. What Dylan lacked in athletic talent, however, he more than made up for with his brains.
As early as elementary school, Teachers knew Dylan was especially gifted in math, science, and language arts classes. All through his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes he never got a single question wrong. It was almost like he was a robot. Sometimes his teachers would ask him random questions on things not even being taught, and most of the time he would answer the questions correctly. He even gave fantasy football advice to one of his teachers one year and his teacher won the league, as well as more than 5000 dollars. Dylan graduated as valedictorian of his Elementary school, which was also not in his hometown because it was so small. He gave a two hour speech at the ceremony, during which many of his classmates fell asleep and/or left to go home. At the end of the speech, many of his teachers (the ones who were still there) clapped and cheered, and a few tears were shed that such a young prodigy was leaving the school. Lorenzo was one student who stayed for the whole thing, and more importantly stayed awake for the whole thing. At the end of the speech, Lorenzo claped and cheered along with the teachers, and eventually rushed the stage and picked up his best friend. On the ride home they both got Chik fil a, the most bestest fast food restaurant ever to be invented. Dylan ended up with a 5.3 GPA, and was already being recruited by colleges across the country, and even some in Canada, England, and other english speaking countries. Lorenzo was also being recruited to many different schools at the time, but because of his athletic abilities.
Dylan and Lorenzo also played football together, starting at the age of five years old. They were both incredibly good at the sport, and ran all over their opponents. They won game after game and state championship after state championship for whatever age group they were in. Eventually, their team was reqired to play an age group higher than they were supposed to because they were just that good, but that didn't keep them from winning everything. With Dylan leading the team on offense as a quarterback and Lorenzo on defense at safety, they were an unstoppable force not to be messed with. Many times they didn't even have to play to win, as opposing coaches often forfeited to keep theior team from feeling to embarrassed. Every once in a while, Lorenzo and Dylan would switch positions and Dylan would play safety and Lorenzo qould be the team's quarterback, and they would still win games by double digit margins. They truly were the greatest of all time.
Dylan and Lorenzo both went to the sam high school together, a private school in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Usually this school was very expensive to attend, but because of their abilities both Dylan and Lorenzo got full scholarships for all four years. Lorenzo immediately tried out for the high school's football team, and as a freshman he beat out two seniors that were already competing for the Safety position. As a freshman, Lorenzo lead the nation in Interceptions, pass deflections, and sacks. He became a household name at the young age of just 14 years old. During the Wyoming state championship game, Lorenzo lead his team to a 38-35 victory over their rivals. In the game, Lorenzo had two pick sixes, including a game winning one as time expired. His best friend and brother Dylan was in the stands cheering his head off when this happened, and after the game rushed onto the field to find his friend and give him a hug. Dylan had similar success in the classroom his freshman year. He aced every test question, homework problem, and every pop quiz was basically automatic. Dylan and Lorenzo was two unlikely but unseparable friends, the only two kids from the smallest town in the United States.
Sophomore year, a scandal hit for Dylan. On the first test back from summer break he got a question wrong. For a moment, he didn't have the highest grade in his class. This was unheard of, and it was such a big deal for the state of Wyoming that it actually made local headlines. One local newspaper asked him about hismistake and he responded with "I'm not a robot, I make mistakes too". Lorenzo Smith would eventually frame this quote and put it on a wall in his house. Shortly after this incident, Dylan returned to his perfect grades. This was a really tough time for Dylan, as he wasn't used to the attention of all his failures. Luckily for him, he had his best friend Lorenzo to help get him through that, while he wasn't getting defensive touchdowns. On his football team's season opener, Lorenzo had three touchdowns, one sccop and score and two more pick sixes. At this point, he was already breaking his high schoo'l's career records and he still had two full seasons left to go. Lorenzo would end up carrying his team to the State championship once again, however this time his team lost 17-14, because their team had a freshman quarterback who had been injured in the first play, and then their ackup quarterback got injured so the team had to put Lorenzo in. He did pretty well for not having played the position since peewee league, but still he wasn't good enough against the second best defense in the state.
In the summer before Dylan's Junior year of high school, Lorenzo convinced him to try out for the high school's football team. Dylan hadn't played football since he was in elementary school, on his county's jr varsity team. He was unsure of himself at first but as time progressed and he hit the weight room more and more, he got stronger. With the help of his friend Lorenzo he was able to beat out his teammates for the starting quarterback spot on the team before summer practices ended. It was clear to everyone that while he was no Lorenzo, Dylan was still pretty dang good at flinging the ball around. With a new and improved offense, Lorenzo and Dylan lead their team to a 10 win and 0 loss season, ending the regular season with a +383 point differential, only allowing one single field goal after a big play during which Lorenzo was not allowed to participate because his helmet had fallen off on the previous play. The team went on to win the state championship game for the second time in three years, 49-0. Now an all-state quarterback and shoe-in for valedictorian, Dylan was the second most popular kid at his school, behind of course only Lorenzo Smith II. Not that it mattered to either of them, they had each other and that was all that mattered. They were basically equal anyway, everyone in a three state radius knew who both of them were. In the classroom, Dylan continued to push his limits, taking 5 advanced placement courses, the only ones that weren't being gym, spanish (because his school didn't have AP Spanish), and his elective, culinary. Although it was never spoken, this challenged Lorenzo to be just as good, taking all the same classes as Dylan, not only to learn but also just to have more time together.
For many students, senior year of high school is a time to relax, take easier classes, and maybe try alcohol or drugs or something idk. But not for Dylan and Lorenzo. Both of them worked as hard as ever in the classroom and the weightroom. Before the season began, both of them were benching more than 300 pounds and squatting more than 400. They kept working to improve their crafts, even though there was so little improvement to be made. You name it, they were doing it, and more importantly they were doing it together. They were workout buddies, they ate practically the same foods, and they took all the same classes. The football season was basically a cakewalk, never winning by less than 40 points and winning back to back state championships for the first time in their school's history. In the classroom, both of them excelled as expected, and Dylan became his classes valedictorian, graduating with a never before seen gpa of 5.5, or on the 100 point scale, a 137. In order to save time, he prerecorded his speech in spanish and played it back at two times speed instead of reciting it in front of a crowd that would no doubt not pay attention. Dylan and Lorenzo not only pushed each other to go above and beyond, but others as well. In the four years they went there, they turned the football program into a state championship team for years to come, giving them an excellent reputation for recruiters to flex. They also ended up raising the school's average GPA up from a 78 to an 85, not only with their excellent grades but because they pushedothers around them to do better. After they graduated, the school was renamed to the Dylan Memorial High School, or DMHS for short, and a bronze statue was unveiled near the front entrance of Dylan in the middle of throwing a football.
After all of this success both on the field and in the classroom, neither Dylan nor Lorenzo had made a choice as to which college they wanted to play for. Usually good athletes had at most four or five schools to choose from, but Dylan could have gone to any school in the country for free. His inbox was full of emails from colleges and universities all over the country, and his mailbox was bursting at the seams because of all the letters he was getting. Additionally, the town they lived in went from being the smalest in the country to being larger than New Orleans, and was renamed to Dylorenzo City. Anyway, the time had come for Dylan and Lorenzo to pick what college they wanted to go to. One evening, while Dylan was over Lorenzo's house and they were playing some Call of Duty, they heard a knock at the door. When they opened it, they were surprised to see their former preschool teacher, Nick Saban, standing at the door. He personally informed them that he was the new head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, and that both of them could go to the school and play football there completely free of charge. Because of their history with Nick, they both immediately agreed and swore to keep it a secret until they knew it was the right time to decide. Then one day, they both knew it was time. They called a bunch of people and news channels and ESPN, and put on their best suits. When it was time, Lorenzo went up in front of the crowd that had quickly formed. He put five hats on the table in front of him, and one by one he put them on and took them off, until he opened his jacked to reveal a shirt with the Alabama logo on it. Before Dylan had a chance to announce that he too was going to Alabama, the crowd swept him up in the commotion.
Dylan eventually decided that he didn't want to play football in college, and that he instead wanted to just focus on his education and get a good paying job elsewhere. He wasn't sure of his ability to make it to the pros as a quarterback, but he knew that he was smart enough to get almost any job he wanted. One time he went on the TV game show Jeopardy! and went on a 10 day win streak, racking up over 5 million dollars in prizes in that short of a time. After that, he purposely lost, because he knew that first of all, the show would go broke if he kept winning, and the secondly he didn't need more money than that. Dylan would never have to work another day in his life thanks to his massive brain, and he owed it all to his parents for making sure he always studied hard and learned as much as possible. He gave 1 million of his dollars to his parents, because he loved them and wanted them to have a better life.
At Alabama, Dylan double majored in business and finance while he watched his friend Lorenzo succeed on the field for the Crimson Tide, and off the field in the classroom. Lorenzo was also majoring in business, and they had similar schedules. After classes and practices, Lorenzo and Dylan would go out into the night and explore Tuscaloosa together, enjoying life. But one night after one of these adventures, Dylan never returned to the dorm. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary, as Dylan would sometimes stay out later than Lorenzo, especially since Lorenzo had a strict curfew to follow since he was on the football team. Lorenzo figured he would wake up early to go and work out, and when he did he would see Dylan sound asleep in his bed, like he had seen so many times before when they were kids sleeping over each others' houses. But the next morning, instead of waking up to that, he woke up to the sight of his other roommate, Mac Jones, sobbing uncontrollably. It turned out that Dylan had never returned home that night because on his way home he was killed in a car crash with a drunk driver. That day, Lorenzo Smith II flew back to his hometown and stayed with his and Dylan's families. After a few days, Lorenzo didn't want to leave, but he knew he had to. He had a game to play that Saturday and he knew Dylan would want him to play in it. Before the game in the locker room, Lorenzo dedicated his performance to Dylan. Lorenzo returned the opening kickoff from Vanderbilt and forced a fumble on Vanderbilt's star senior running back, Joseph Petrongolo, which he also recovered and returned for a touchdown. That game, Lorenzo played for more than just himself, he played for Dylan and his family back home too. After that game, Lorenzo broke down into tears. Losing Dylan changed him.
The rest of Lorenzo's college career was quiet compared to what he had done in high school, due in part to the loss of Dylan but also because of n increase in competition. Lorenzo devoted the entire rest of his life to Dylan, whether it was in the classroom, on the field, or otherwise. After Lorenzo's senior year of collee at Alabama, he had another tough decision to make. He had to decide whether he wanted to play for the NFL or the ISFL. After much consideration, he decided to play for the ISFL for two reasons. One, because there was a smaller number of teams and therefore more competition because of fewer spots to fill, and two, because tey had checked the injuries off box when creating the league, so Lorenzo wouldn't have to worry about giving or taking big hits in the games. He was drafted iby the Bondi Beach Buccaneers with the 46th pick in the season 26 DSFL draft, the ISFL's developmental league, and it seemed like a great future career was possible for him.
One day while training however, he broke both of his legs. This may seem like a career ending injury, but in reality they were only stress fractures. However, this was an injury that would require plenty of rehab. Because the ISFL had the injury box checked off, he would still be able to play in games with relatively little pain, but once he got off the field he would have to go basically right to rehab to work on getting better. While at rehab, Lorenzo was introduced to the concept of communism. One of the doctors at the rehab facility he went to supported communism, and Lorenzo decided that he agreed. They quickly became very good friends. When Lorenzo wasn't doing rehab, he introduced his teammates and those on other teams to communism and tried to explain to them why it was better than communism, but he was mostly given dirty looks, completely ignored, or conflicted with by other players. Because of these incidents, Lorenzo was seen less and less throughout the league and eventually his teammates even stopped seeing him. In just a few short years, he had gone from a household name across America to someone shrouded in mystery and ambiguity, never to be seen again. A legend to some and just another guy to many others.
Dylan first met Lorenzo when he was a very young child. His family and Lorenzo's family were the only two families that lived in their town. This would be a surprising fact if you never read part one of Lorenzo Smith II's nbio, where he details how he grew up in the smallest city in the United States, and at least the second smallest city in the world.
