Lo Renzo Rax (born January 30, 2004) is an American football defensive end for the New Orleans Second Line of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for SUNY University at Buffalo (UB) and went on to be selected by the Kansas City Coyotes in the 2024 DSFL Draft (S9). Rax rose high on at least one team's board in the 2025 ISFL Draft (S10), going in the first round to the New Orleans Second Line.

Early years

Lo Rax, commonly referred to as Renzo, was born in Buffalo, New York to a family of avid fans of the NFL's Buffalo Bills. As such, he was exposed to football at a young age, but it wasn't just the fandom that got him there, he is also the cousin of 4th round NFL draft pick Mike Williams. That relation allowed him to get familiar with what it was to become a pro. Rax decided early it was a path he wanted to take, excelling at Riverside Institute of Technology in Buffalo to earn himself a scholarship on the defensive side of the ball at the next level.

College career

Lo received a scholarship to SUNY University at Buffalo, citing the success of Khalil Mack in his decision making. Rax played 3 seasons at DT in college, showcasing impressive consistency. Despite usual double teams, Lo Rax accumulated 24, 25 and 33 tackles to go with 5, 5, and 3.5 tackles for loss, with an annual sack and fumble recovery. Lo earned All-MAC honors in back to back years.

Professional career

DSFL career

At the professional level, Lo Rax projected to a defensive end/strongside linebacker position, and after dropping to 280 pounds, he fit the bill physically. Taken in the 3rd round with the 11th overall pick by the Kansas City Coyotes, Rax slotted in at a position of need for one of the top teams in the DSFL. As with many young players, Lo started with a minor role, with his responsibilities growing until he became a full-time starter. The Coyotes came into the playoffs as the second seed in the league, but were ousted in the first round by the Pytons, a disappointing end to a promising season. Individually Rax stood out as one of the top up and comers, leading up to an exciting NSFL draft shortly thereafter.

NSFL career

As true rookie, Lo Rax was slotted into a starting role from day 1 on the NOLA Second Line, a testament to his preparation both mentally and physically for the pro level. His rookie season saw him moved around frequently within the NOLA defense, spending time at DT and LB in addition to his typical usage as a DE. The variety of roles allowed Rax to accumulate the highest tackle totals amongst all DEs in the NSFL, a nice feather in the cap of the rookie. Despite that, he was not considered for DRoY, a mystery to many fans.

Rax's sophomore campaign saw him spending more time at his traditional position of Defensive End, playing the role of a dependable player at containing the run, and flashing ability to rush the passer on occasion. While he didn't put up the sheer tackle volume he had as a rookie, his tackle for loss total rose from 0 to 8, evidence of his run stuffing prowess. He managed 3 sacks on the season and two fumble recoveries, rounding out his splash plays in the regular season. In the championship game that season, Rax had two huge plays: The first came in the fourth quarter, when Rax raked the ball from a Hawk running back on the Baltimore 49, with the recovery going his teams' way. That turnover eventually yielded 8 points for the Second Line, putting them up 36-33, setting the stage for OT. Rax's second big play came with 6 minutes remaining in OT, a sack on 3rd and 10 put the Hawks on their own 9 yard- the play would be the last time the Hawks offense touched the ball, on the ensuing NOLA drive, a Maximus pass to Smallwood secured the trophy for the Second Line.
