Caleb theGEICOCamel (born May 1, 2013) is an American football cornerback for the Honolulu Hahalua. He played college football for Howard University (HOW) and in the DSFL for the Minnesota Grey Ducks.

Early years

Caleb was living the life of your average Camel, going to high school and starring in nationally televised commercials. One day, when the checks from the airing of the commercial had stopped comming in, Caleb had an idea. Technically, within the rules of football, there was no clause that prevented a Camel from competing on the field. In fact, should he show enough talent in High School, and then in college, he knew vaguely of a league called the ISFL which had seen all manner of players from eldritch horrors to conscious shapes. After all that, who was going to say a word against the legality of a Camel playing professional football? On the first day of tryouts, he wasn't sure what position would be best. Offense was largely out, as his hooves made handling the football or blocking all but impossible. Defensive Line or linebacker were tricky for the reason that tackling came very difficult to the camel, with no ability to wrap up. Finally, the secondary seemed like a natural fit, as he could move quickly and deflect the football when it came his was with his natural size.

College career

After 4 years of surprising success at the high school level, offers were shockingly slow at coming in to play at college. For whatever reason, be it the need for a warmer climate, the desire to stay near his hometown, or his request that the team lt him have his own locker room because of his strong embarrasment of being seen nude, there were almost no full rides on the kitchen table when the time came to commit. There was one offer however and, almost dissapointingly, it came not from his ability to play football, but from his history has a spokesman. GEICO had a partnership with the local college Howard University, and had pulled some strings to give him an offer to play football. Over the next 4 seasons, Caleb proved to be a much better player than any had imagined. While Howard Uni never found much success in the wider CFB, Caleb more than proved his worth on the field.

Professional career

DSFL career

Minnesota Rookie Year (S47)

Caleb TheGEICOCamel just finished his first season within the DSFL and it was, by all accounts, rather unremarkable. That isn’t exactly surprising. A few factors, his late start post-ultimus, the overall talent on Minnesota, the fact that 3 corners were taken in total including himself in his draft class, all combined to him not seeing the field as much as he might’ve liked. In total he finished the year with: 23 Tackles 1 Sack 6 Pass Deflections And on special teams: 1 Kick Return 2 Kick Return Yards 16 Punt Returns 88 Punt Return Yards Technically he only officially started 6 games out of the 14 so the sparse stats aren’t shocking. Hopefully when he starts his second DSFL season at the 250 DSFL cap, we will see him get more starting time.

He did pick up another 3 tackles and a pass deflection in the 28-27 playoff loss to the eventual DSFL Ultimini champion Portland Pythons. His best game by far was week 12 in the 22-14 loss to Portland once again where he racked up a third of his pass deflections with 2 and picked up a tackle. While he won’t win any awards for his performance this season, hopefully this is just the start of something great.

Almost every single team in the league has reached out to Caleb to talk about possibly picking him up in the draft so obviously these teams know that there is greater potential in him than what he showed on the field in his first season

ISFL career

Honolulu Rookie Year (S48)

Caleb’s shocking early call-up to the struggling Honolulu Hahalua led to low initial expectations for the one-time cornerback. Before taking his first snap he moved to free safety.

TheGEICOCamel then took those expectations and blew them out of the water.

In the first 4 games of the season he had already amassed 3 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries. His best game came in week 4 against the Arizona Outlaws where he strip sacked the Outlaw QB for a fumble recovery, forced another fumble from Shane Turnbull and recovered it as well. In the first play after halftime he then picked off Donovan Winters III for his 3rd turnover of the game. Those turnovers led to 10 points for the Hahalua on the way to their 34-19 loss.

The following 4 games were slower for Caleb, with only a few tackles and the occasional pass deflection. In week 9 he grabbed his 3rd forced fumble and recovery against the Berlin Fire Salamanders in a strip sack. The following week against San Jose he picked off his 4th pass of the season. 2 weeks later against Orange County he forced his 4th fumble against Roger Halmerfell preventing an OCO score. In a shocking upset against Arizona on the road he picked off a pass to allow Honolulu to tie the game up before multiple more turnovers sealed the win for the underdog Hahalua. In the final week of the season Caleb all but sealed his defensive rookie of the year award with his 5th and final fumble forced and recovered in a dominant 35-28 win over the New York Silverbacks to finish the year 6–10.

Come awards season you will almost certainly see the Camel clean up rookie of the year as well as a spot on the 1st team all pro, and nominations for defensive player of the year and defensive performance of the year.
