Early years
Silva was born in McComb, Mississippi on July 3, 2018, the only child of David and La-Neishah Silva. He displayed his atheltic potential from an early age, weighing 180lbs and standing 5ft 7in at 10 years old. Silva attended McComb High School where he was a four-year starter on the Tigers football team. In his firat two years he played both guard and defensive tackle, but switched to the defensive side of the ball full-time in his junior year.
After missing most of his junior year with a career-threatening achilles injury, Silva bounced back in his senior year, recording 55 tackles, 38 tackles for loss, 4 forced fumbles and 6 sacks. Silva's power and disturuptive play was a key part of a Tigers defense that carried the team to the semi-finals of the Mississippi State Championship playoffs, where the Tigers lost 10-6 to the Natchez High School Bulldogs featuring future ISFL player Tayshawn Crunk.
Silva was rated by Scout.com as a four star recruit and was ranked as the 27th overall defensive tackle in his class, and the number two defensive tackle in the state of Mississippi. Turning down interest from SEC colleges, he committed to Michigan State University on National Signing Day 2036.
College career
In his freshman year at Michigan State, Silva was used in the defensive line rotation, and recorded 38 tackles and one sack.
In the offseason before his junior year, Silva gaines 20 lbs and saw his production increase accordingly, racking up 47 tackles and 4 sacks in a down year for the Spartans.
Silva gained a further 30 lbs before his senior year, which proved to a breakout year for both him and Michigan State, as he amassed 62 tackles, 44 tackles for loss and 8 sacks in a 10-win season.
Amid speculation that Silva would declare for the 2038 DSFL Draft following his junior year, he stunned his college team and pro scouts by announcing that he would be quitting football and following his dream to be a sumo wrestler, enrolling at the prestigious Fujishima stable to train. He left Japan after only three weeks, stating that he couldn't "live on no more damn fish and noodles", stating an intention to return to football.
A week later Silva announced that he was opting not to return to Michigan State and declared for the 2039 DSFL Draft. He was picked up on waivers by the London Royals before the start of Season 24.
