Early years
Florida Man was born as Timothy Halloway, however through a series of wild and almost unbelieveable events in his life, such as trying to get his pet alligator drunk or trying to fight someone with a swordfish, he gained the nickname of Florida Man, since his exploits always seemed to make national news with the headline referring to him as "Florida Man". Halloway was a star receiver for his high school team, but the ongoing rumor was that his incredible speed and agility were aided by some illicit drugs, but those rumors were never proven. In his senior season, he nearly broke 2,000 receiving yards and scored nine return touchdowns, and was recruited heavily, but he stayed fairly local, accepting a scholarship to Central Florida. When asked about his choice, he simply said "Chomps (his pet alligator) gets a little bitey when he's in a car for more than a couple hours."
College career
Halloway made the Florida Man moniker official just after his enrollment at Central Florida, when he accepted a $1000 bet from his college fraternity that he wouldn't legally change his name to "Florida Man". By his own admission, Halloway could never turn down a bet, even if it would embarass him or possibly land him in jail, so before his first game as a member of the Golden Knights, his name was changed to Florida Man. Florida Man was the team's starting punt returner in his true freshman season, and broke the school record for most punt return touchdowns in a season with five, while also contributing two more receiving touchdowns as a receiver. He was forced to use his medical redshirt in his sophomore season due to crashing his airboat that he drove to class (on city streets), and breaking his arm, and he missed most of his redshirt sophomore season for disciplinary reasons, after breaking into the US Capitol after a game against Georgetown, however he avoided a lengthier suspension when it was revealed he was just looking for a bathroom. He cleaned up his act during his junior season, when he led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns, while still spending time as the team's #1 punt and kick returner, and occasionally spent time at running back. He forgoed his senior season, and declared for the DSFL Draft, after he stole a horse to ride home after a night of drinking, but again, he avoided serious charges by saying he thought it was wild, and that he was just really good at taming them.

Florida Man was taken 38th overall in the DSFL Draft, going to the Minnesota Grey Ducks near the end of the fifth round. He fell down the board a little bit due to some of his aforementioned off-the-field shenanigans. He started out as the team's #4 receiver, behind Zero Gibson II, Brandon Rojas, and Hex Amofah, but he eventually started seeing the ball more, and was able to climb up the depth chart and become the #2 receiver, only behind star tight end Gibson, who had been there two seasons longer than Florida had. He also got to see some playing time at kick returner, and by the end of the season, he led his team in yards per kick return. He finished the season just outside the top ten in receiving yards, and despite nearly missing a Week 13 game against Norfolk, after being "locked" in an unlocked closet for two days.
