Early years
Maple Dogwood was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia to Oak and Violet Dogwood. He expressed a keen interest in sports from a young age and excelled in the youth ranks. While he enjoyed baseball, basketball, and tennis, his true love was with the game of football. His compact statute as well as his incredible speed made him legendary in the local youth leagues, which helped foster his undying love for the pigskin. Both of his parents graduated from the University of Georgia and he grew up attending games in Athens on a regular basis, which is why UGA was always his dream school. After just two standout seasons at Midtown High School, the college offers came rolling in, but once he received the offer from Georgia it was over. As he put it "I was always meant to be a Bulldog."
College career
From the moment he set foot on campus, Dogwood was turning heads. He joined an already deep running back room his freshman season, but that didn't stop him from making a name for himself within the program and nationally. He scored 10 touchdowns that season before taking hold of a starting role his sophomore and junior seasons. In those two years, Dogwood led Georgia to back-to-back National Championships and was a two-time 1st team All-American. He finished runner-up in the Heisman Trophy his junior year after amassing 1,962 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns. Having already graduated in three years, he knew that he had accomplished everything he possibly could in Athens and decided to declare for the draft and enter the DSFL.
