− | ''' | + | '''Alexandra "Xandra" Troyski''' (born July 4, 1998) is an [[wp:American football|American football]] cornerback for the [[Tijuana Luchadores]] of the [[Developmental Simulation Football League]] (NSFL). She played college football for [[wp:MIT|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT) before entering the professional ranks via the {{dsfly|9|draft-full}}. After essentially two seasons with the Luchadores, Xandra made her defensive debut in S10 with the [[San Jose Sabercats]], who had drafted her first in the second round of the {{nsfly|10|draft-full}}. |
==Early years== | ==Early years== | ||
− | + | Xandra was born in [[wp:Kiev, Ukraine|Kiev, Ukraine]] and emigrated to the United States when she was just 6 months old. Her father played rugby during his school years in Canada and expected his only daughter to hold her own in the sport, teaching her all he knew. Xandra, however, felt her skills were not suited for rugby, plus America was not really a land of opportunity for the sport, either. She instead latched onto the faster, American football to have a playground to exhibit her speed and competitive vibe, besting the best receivers in Troy. Xandra's parallel interests in technology and football posed a challenge when she won a spot at the prized Troy Tech high school, but luckily she was able to try out for and land a spot on the Troy High team. Living with one foot in each world was difficult, but worth it, as it landed her an acceptance letter from none other than the number one tech school in the country, MIT. | |
==College career== | ==College career== | ||
+ | Starting at MIT in 2018, Xandra joined MIT Football a couple years later, mid-way through a new rebuilding era. After winning only one game in 2010 and two games in their 2011 season, the Engineers would start to build momentum thanks to new depth joining the roster and finish the 2012 season with a winning record. Eventually, in 2014, the team went on to go undefeated in the regular season, finishing 10-0 in the NEWMAC conference and losing in the second round of the NCAA D3 Championships. The team did not fare as well in the following years, posting losing records again 2/3 times, but they were looking to the future and focused on re-solidifying their lines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Xandra decided to wait a couple years before trying out for the team while they rebuilt to make sure she could handle the academics without sports first. Also, she was pretty sure she would stay on for a Masters degree, so this would let her align the end of her college career more closely to the DSFL draft season. During her first season with the team in 2020, she saw a lot of bench time but made it in for a few downs each game when the team really needed her speed. Once she caught up to the speed and playbook the following year, she began to see more regular rotation. By the start of her third season, Xandra was making waves in both the defense and special teams, returning 2 returns for touchdowns in highlight-reel-worthy play. Her last season, Xandra was battling some [[wp:Iliotibial band|iliotibial band]] pain but the cause was quickly discovered to be bad cleats and the rest of the season saw impressive enough stats that the recruiters took notice. MIT hated to see her go, but the team was thrilled to have a program first when Xandra was drafted by the Tijuana Luchadores in the DSFL. | ||

After petitioning management, Xandra's request to move back to Tijuana for the remainder of the season was granted. The hope was it would be a bit of an ego boost, help her old team out with another championship run, and give her a chance to see the field again and implement all her learnings from the National Football League. | |

Placing third in tackles for the team and scoring her first professional defensive tackle, Xandra is excited to keep growing her skills and helping turn the team around. A new trade in the offseason before S12 seems like the future is brighter than ever for San Jose. | |

Alexandra "Xandra" Troyski (born July 4, 1998) is an American football cornerback for the Tijuana Luchadores of the Developmental Simulation Football League (NSFL). She played college football for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) before entering the professional ranks via the 2024 DSFL Draft (S9). After essentially two seasons with the Luchadores, Xandra made her defensive debut in S10 with the San Jose Sabercats, who had drafted her first in the second round of the 2025 ISFL Draft (S10).
