Ah man, I remember the NSFL draft day for Tree. And yes she is that ancient that it was the NSFL back in the day. It was a bit of a weird experience to be honest. Tree didn’t really have a ton of hype about her going into the draft, considering that there were two other better tight ends that had more draft stock to them (Osiris Firestorm-Fjord and Leon McDavid). Tree got a few interviews here and there but nothing more than a “yeah we’ll keep in touch” so expectations were a bit low. So when Austin decided to take a chance on Tree in the draft (5th round, 50th overall) it was a bit of a surprise. Austin didn’t particularly need a tight end at the time, as Larson still had a few more seasons before they were done and dusted, so Tree was like “hey this is an option maybe.” It was a relief to be drafted there, considering at the time Austin had just won the Ultimus and was in position to keep contending, but in the end it didn’t work out. The timelines never matched up and Tree would eventually leave for Chicago, but the thrill of being drafted is something that she’ll never forget.
