==Early years== | ==Early years== | ||
Born in Paris France. Both of his parents were international cheese dealers, his father a Luxembourg native, and his mother from Lyon. They moved from Paris France to North Dakota when Roquefort was around three years in old in order to experience the cultural sensation of midwestern American cheese. From a young age, Roquefort was interested in American football, and always had a nose for the ball. He played both ways in the little leagues, wide-out on offense and defensive back on defense. He quickly stood out amongst his young peers as a player with quick feet and a good mind for coverage and schemes. Going into highschool he began to take his athletic career seriously, switching to a diet solely consisting of cheese and crème de la crème à la Edgar. Fueled by his lactose intolerance, he was launched onto the football field with a level of ferocity not yet seen before in small-town Cheeseville North Dakota. His sophomore campaign ended with an impressive 1200 yard receiving season on offense, while simultaneously racking up 9 PBUs and 3 interceptions on defense. | Born in Paris France.

Early years
Born in Paris France. Both of his parents were international cheese dealers, his father a Luxembourg native, and his mother from Lyon. They moved from Paris France to North Dakota when Roquefort was around three years in old in order to experience the cultural sensation of midwestern American cheese. From a young age, Roquefort was interested in American football, and always had a nose for the ball. He played both ways in the little leagues, wide-out on offense and defensive back on defense. He quickly stood out amongst his young peers as a player with quick feet and a good mind for coverage and schemes. Going into highschool he began to take his athletic career seriously, switching to a diet solely consisting of cheese and crème de la crème à la Edgar. Fueled by his lactose intolerance, he was launched onto the football field with a level of ferocity not yet seen before in small-town Cheeseville North Dakota. His sophomore campaign ended with an impressive 1200 yard receiving season on offense, while simultaneously racking up 9 PBUs and 3 interceptions on defense.
College career
Once he began to attract college scout attention, he was pushed to focus more on his defensive playmaking and develop into a coverage corner. He ended his highschool career as a highly touted prospect within the state, and was more than happy to commit to play in the Fargodome for the NDSU Bison. His college career was solid, yet uneventful, as Roquefort failed to stand apart from other CBs within the FCS. His most notable skills in college were a relatively fast speed, with decent hands, likely tracing back to his time playing wideout as a child. Failing to attract any attention from the highest leagues, he now looks to play in the Prospect Bowl of the ISFL in an attempt to continue his career on the football field. Re-assessing his training, he has once again begun a solely cheese-fueled diet, and opposing CBs should be cautious to wash their feet thoroughly before the game, as Roquefort's nose is notoriously powerful, compensating for his tendencies to fall for head fakes.

Roquefort Cotswold was drafted second overall by the Honolulu Hahalua behind fellow Honolulu pick Brad Woof.
Together, the two rookies look to be the face of the franchise going forward on either side of the ball as they progress from their rebuild.
Called up by the Hahalua, Roquefort saw a good amount of playing time. His first season in the ISFL proper was mainly focused on learning the ropes behind seasoned veteran Luigi Lanikai and sophomore cornerback Hearty Harry. The team also had Seth Leavitt to shore up the defensive back room, not leaving very much space for Roquefort on the depth chart. Despite seemingly being the fourth option, Roquefort was often played in the Nickleback or Dimeback position. While he wasn't in position to get many PDs or INTs due to not covering primary receivers, Roquefort did a great job of supporting the team where necessary and having several games with multiple clutch tackles. His highlight of the season came from his sacks coming off the edge. He had a booming blindside hit on Cape Town Crash quarterback Thor Bollrsveifla that nearly sidelined the veteran QB for the rest of the game. Wrapping up his rookie season with 60 tackles, 7 PDs, and 2 sacks - Roquefort will be hunting for his first interceptions going into S49. The depth chart has cleared out, with Luigi Lanikai and Seth Leavitt both departing the team. It's now on Roquefort and Hearty Harry to lock down opposing WRs for the Honolulu Hahalua.
Coming off a relatively tame freshman season, Roquefort had a lot left to prove. He began the season playing CB2 behind Hearty Harry, and the duo immediately proved troublesome. Backed up by TheGEICOCamel and Da Pinchi, the Hahalua secondary - while young - had quite the impressive season. Cotswold greatly improved on his rookie numbers, finally recording his first INT in week 12 against the Orange County Otters. He took it back for 30 yards to the house, contributing to a 34-24 win. His pass defense numbers quadrupled, Cotswold finished the season with 28 PDs good for 8th in the league overall. With the team improving across the board Honolulu would finish a respectable 6-10, continuing to improve year over year. Ending the season as CB1 on the depth chart, it's not quite clear who will be matching up with opposing WR1s going into S50. Whether it's Harry or Roquefort, enemy quarterbacks won't have much space to look forward to.
