Otis Allen @KoltClassic is the definition of dependable. Even at his advanced age, he’s always the first to show up to training camp; even rookie camp! Certainly, he could skip some of the optional camps, but he never does. He’s always there chatting up the coaches, talking to the trainers and bringing all kinds of positivity to the team. And how could he not! He’s such a lovely, round man. Otis, affectionately known in San Jose as Meatball, has been a Sabercat long enough to know the dark times, but was also instrumental in creating the light, and he was an absolutely crucial part of San Jose’s back-to-back Ultimus wins.
His rotund figure dictated that the Defensive Tackle life was for him, and while his stats may not jump off the page, it’s mostly because he requires double and triple teams from the offensive line! Playing DT is a selfless gig. He's there purely to help the team and others get some glory. For the first three seasons of my Sabercat career, I played Defensive End next to him and he opened up so many opportunities for me to make plays in the backfield. Now, we both do our best to give that selfless perspective back to the new classes of Sabercats each season, and it all starts at training camp.
Bass is doing his best to enjoy whatever time Meatball has in San Jose, because he knows retirement eventually comes for us all. Whenever he does decide to hang it up, he’ll always be remembered. The player. The legend. The Meatball.
