What's the Highest Level of Football You Played?

[Cornicator]

Never rose above 2nd string Defensive End at the NAIA Level. Went to the semifinals of the NAIA Playoffs my junior season and faced NW Oklahoma State, a team that had 13 former D1 transfers including Patrick Crayton, who went on to the play a few seasons at WR for the Dallas Cowboys and Lynn Scott, a former High School All-American transfer from Oklahoma.

NW Oklahoma State ran the Triple Option. Having grown up in Nebraska, I felt like I knew how to defend it having faced that offense 3 dozen times in high school. But schools like West Holt, O'Neill, and Broken Bow never had 4 black dudes from Florida running the option in their backfield.

That was my last ever college football game. We lost 30-27, and after 3 years of suspecting I sucked, that game truly confirmed just how much I sucked.

The only thing I have in common with Vick is his love of dogs

lolololol I wanna say I was in Youth Football a few years prior to all that coming out

Technically I was a college football player for all but 2 weeks

I stopped playing football after middle school. In WYO HS golf was in the Fall (as was football, obviously) and I was WAY better at golf than football, so it was an easy decision.

Couldn’t imagine playing D2 or lower after high school. Just out there getting CTE and tearing ACL’s for the fun of it and to say you were the North West Upper Central Midwest conference runner up.

That's fair, but I was also 6'5 225 at age 18, and was probably only hit hard twice in high school. I also never really got hit that hard in college either, but I quickly realized that I was slower than everybody else.

Intramurals doesn't count lol

We won the “c league” intramural basketball championship at UNL my freshman year. We then played the A league champion.

High school, could have played in college but chose baseball instead. Humble brag

 

[HughJanus]

I was right tackle every fucking year of midget football. Skipped freshman year, decided to play sophomore year thinking maybe I could be tight end or something because I was only 6'0/210lbs, maybe catch a pass. Nope, turns out I'm fucking slow, right tackle again.

Did score a Tuddy. Blocked a punt, scooped/scored it one game.

Also Lincoln High had a girl playing DL on JV one year lol didn't notice until the post game handshake. Tough fucking broad. Tried to pancake her all game and she just got low and ate up the blocks.

Starting Outside Blocker for Barrett Ruud in high school. We passed three times a game and 66% went to Gordon. Decided to retire after that.

I'm with you. Just about went to West Point to play football but just decided I didn't want to be injured and was burnt out since I had been playing sports non-stop since I was 5. Talked with some ex-Huskers from my hometown and they were basically like you are going to get injured at some point and also how bad it sucks being on the scout team at the D-1 level. People just taking shots at you at all times. Both these dudes were multiple year starters as well. No thanks.
