Early years

Bruce Buckley Junior was born in Sydney. He is the son of legendary ISFL player Bruce Buckley. He spent time in a variety of cities growing up as he followed his father Bruce around during his playing career. Bruce Buckley Junior spent time in Bondi Beach, Arizona, Yellowknife and Baltimore before returning to Sydney at the conclusion of his father's stellar career. Bruce Junior tried to avoid football and the limelight of being the son of the greatest offensive lineman of all time and instead chose to focus on academics and music instead. However, this all changed when during a friendly game of British Bulldog, Buckley Junior tackled anything and everything that ran past him. This caught the attention of the football coach who convinced Junior to join the football team as a linebacker where he became a standout prospect. He was the star of the high school football team but he's development was let down by th constant changing of system as he followed his father.

College career

Bruce Buckley Junior never went to a formal college or university to play football. Instead he returned home to his 'home' city of Sydney to try his hand at another sport, Rugby League. In Sydney, he was picked up by National Rugby League Team, the Sydney Roosters and was a part of the squad for several seasons, playing through the lower age grade competitions at the Under 16's, Under 18's and Under 20's level. He never made a debut in the main league but he did play for the senior team in preseason. During his time with the Roosters, Buckley Junior was known as a big and dependent tackling of the opposition, making over 96 percent of his attempted tackles. He also showed good hands and passing with the ball in hand, being one of the biggest playmakers in the team. Once he was told he wouldn't be making his debut for the senior team, Buckley Junior made the decision to leave Rugby League and follow in his fathers footsteps to the ISFL.

Season 35 - Bondi Beach Buccaneers

Bruce Buckley Jr was drafted to the Bondi Beach Buccaneers with the 19th pick in the S35 DSFL Draft. Bruce was especially happy with this as he goes to the franchise his father went to at the beginning of his career and later coached.

It wasn’t the most successful season for the Bondi Beach Buccaneers as they ended with a 3-11 record, tied for 3rd in the Southern Conference.

One of the biggest bright points in the season for Bruce Buckley Jr was his final game in the Green and Gold as the Buccaneers picked up a 31-28 victory over Minnesota. During this game, Buckley Jr forced a fumble for the first time in his career. Minnesota receiver S. Kudo caught a ball 5 yards out of the endzone and was on his way in before meeting Buckley Jr at the 1 yard line. Buckley forced the ball out before it was luckily claimed by Kudo at the 1.

This season saw Bruce Buckley Jr pick up 76 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 sack and 6 pass deflections. He was ready for the big time, the ISFL.

Season 36 - Baltimore Hawks

After declaring for the ISFL Draft, it was announced that Bruce Buckley Jr would be an automatic Father-Son pick in the second round to his father’s final team, the Baltimore Hawks. The pick ended up as number 27 and Buckley Jr was immediately brought up from the developmental league into the big time.

Buckley was an immediate starter at middle line backer and was placed straight into the action in week 1. During his debut game, Buckley Jr picked up 6 tackles which was the second most on the team. He also forced a fumble. This set up a good rookie season for Bruce Buckley Jr which culminated in a nomination for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

His stats for the season where 73 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, 5 sacks and 5 pass deflections. A great start to a career. Baltimore this season missed the playoffs with a 7-9 record, finishing 5th in the NSFC.

Season 37 - Baltimore Hawks

After a promising rookie season, Bruce Buckley Junior returned for his sophomore campaign having shored up the MLB spot in Baltimore. Bruce Buckley Junior struggled a bit in his second season, which has been attributed to the classic ‘Sophomore Slump’ seen in a wide variety of sports worldwide.

His statistics for the season were 71 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery and 10 pass deflections. The biggest drop of was the pass rushing aspect with only 1 negative yardage play recorded on the year. His coverage did improve as he broke double figures for pass deflections. While not the season improvement he would’ve liked for still a good season for a middle linebacker.

On the season Baltimore ended with a .500 record and a 8-8 season. For the second season in a row, Baltimore ended up 5th in the NSFC and as a result missed the playoffs. The postseason saw Baltimore blow up the team in a rebuild phrase, elevating Buckley Jr to one of the biggest players on the defence.

Season 38 - Baltimore Hawks

Prior to Season 38, Bruce Buckley Jr’s Baltimore Hawks decided to send the team into a massive rebuild. They sent away their star Tight End, Wide Receiver, Defensive End and Safety for future draft picks. This had 2 impacts on BBJ, he was now a major player on the Hawks defence and a key face on the Hawks team that was expected to struggle through the season.

This was reflected in the defensive rankings with the Hawks defence being the worst in the league against the pass and bottom 3 in total yards. However that isn’t the whole story. The Hawks defence allowed the 3rd least points per game in the league, this was due to the defensive unit forcing the most fumbles and interceptions in the league. This all culminated with the Hawks getting a 9-7 record and scraping their way to a wildcard weekend clash against the Yellowknife Wraiths.

Bruce Buckley Jr’s stats for the season were respectable with him racking up 89 tackles [career-high], a career-low in missed tackles [6], a forced fumble with 2 fumble recoveries, 2 sacks, 9 pass deflections, 2 interceptions [first in his career] with one of those being returned for a touchdown.

Season 39 - Baltimore Hawks

Season 39 was a great performance for Bruce Buckley Junior on the tackling front. He registered over 100 tackles for the first time in his career, picking up 105 throughout the season. He also racked up career highs in tackles for loss with 9, as well as tackle percentage [almost 94%].

Buckley Junior in the pass rushing game was at his best as well, recording 5 sacks in the season which ties his career best from his rookie season. He wasxn’t able to force a fumble but did recover one.

In the pass coverage game, Buckley performed similarly to pervious seasons, picking up 8 pass deflections and an interception on the season. That intreception was key however as Bruce Buckley Junior returned that to the house picking up the 2nd defensive touchdown of his career.

The season was a let down for the Baltimore Hawks as they finished 6-10, the 4th worst record in the league. A big offseason was on the cards for the Hawks as they looked to complete their revamp and start to fight for post-season berths.

Season 40 - Baltimore Hawks

Bruce Buckley’s Season 40 campaign was a mixed bag.

Statistically, it was the greatest season of his career which hopefully builds as he enters his prime. Highlights of this include - Career highs in the majority of statistical categories - Career high in Tackles with 121, 15 more then his previous best and 4th most in the league in Season 40. - 11 tackles for loss, another career high and top 10 in the league - 11 Sacks, more then double his previous best - 3 Forced Fumbles and 2 Fumble Recoveries, again career bests - 2 interceptions which tied his career high from S38 - 14 pass deflections, almost double his previous best of 8 - A safety, the first for his career. While it was a great season, it didn’t result in any personal or team accolades as he missed out of Pro Bowl and All Pro nominations. His team, the Baltimore Hawks finished 5-11 and again missed the playoffs.
