(S25) - PT 3 - Early Decisions

[GlimsTC]

Felix Archstone's family has a history of attending the University of Florida, so ensuring that such a tradition was continued was a very important thing to him and the rest of the family. As someone who comes from a rather smart family, Felix was a bit of an odd man out as he is the only one in his family to pursue professional sports. But, he knew that the Gators would provide him an opportunity to not only make his family happy, but himself happy as well. Felix came from a rather small high school in regards to sports, which was Tampa Bay Tech. Their football team was nothing to write home about, but Felix stood out as the big man on the OLine who was able to pick up on everything the defense was throwing at him. Due to his family's legacy at UF, they were able to convince a scout to come out to at least check Felix out and see him in action. The chances of Felix getting a scholarship to UF was already rather high based on test results alone, and the position he played was one that usually needs more filling than anything else, so this ended up working out perfectly in regards to being able to fast track himself to the Florida Gators team via a sports scholarship. So, while he wasn't highly sought, he was given a chance to prove himself in the bigger leagues. The Gators offered him solid playing time and the chance to really learn the game at a more competitive level. Picking up on the mechanics and schemes was never a problem for Felix, but overwhelming strength and agility were something he always lacked. After two seasons of getting to play backup right tackle, Felix was finally given the nod to start and show himself. And the rest is history, as they say. Felix continues to play RT in the DSFL, and is already being prepped to continue playing RT in the ISFL. But no matter how far his career advances, he owes much to the Florida team that let him become the player he is today.
