Early years
Mathias Hanyadi was born on November 1st, 2011 to Giovanni Hanyadi and Ciara Hanyadi. He lived in Boston his entire life as a kid, and played baseball all throughout grade school and middle school. He switched sports to football in his sophomore year of highschool, walking onto the team as the 4th string runningback. He quickly shot up the depth chart, becoming the starting runningback for both his junior and senior campaigns. He broke the school record for rushing touchdowns and rushing yards in a season during his senior year, which was enough for him to get several football scholarships to various schools. He chose UMass, out of a desire to stay close to his ailing father and the rest of his family.
College career
Mathias played all four years for the UMass Minutemen, and was the starting runningback for three of those seasons. His freshman year, he was once again low on the depth chart, being the fifth string runningback behind some high tier talent. In his freshman season, Hanyadi only started during one game, yet that one game was an impressive performance. In Game 7 of the season, playing against BYU, Hanyadi managed to rack up 221 rushing yards on thirty carries for three touchdowns, leading the Minutemen to a 35-24 victory over the Cougars. He received the Most Improved Player award from the team, and for the next three seasons, he was the starting running back for the Minutemen. His crowning achievment was leading the Minutemen to a victory over Michigan State in the Orange Bowl, rushing for 156 yards on 29 carries for two touchdowns for the school's first bowl win in decades.

Mathias Hanyadi was selected 33rd overall by the San Antonio Marshals during the 2032 DSFL Draft (S17). Many experts considered Hanyadi to be the steal of the draft, wondering how he could have fallen into San Antonio's laps after so many other running backs and receivers were taken. Hanyadi has had several standout games during the season, including a 158 yard game against the Kansas City Coyotes, scoring two touchdowns during the game. He also recorded 190 yards on 36 carries, scoring two more touchdowns in a Week 7 game against the Norfolk Seawolves. Hanyadi was considered as one of the best rookie running backs in the class, and was rumored to be leading in polls for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
NSFL career
The Yellowknife Wraiths drafted Hanyadi 17th overall in the 2033 ISFL Draft (S18). He was sent down for one more season since Yellowknife still had Marshall and Canton on their roster. After his second season in San Antonio, Yellowknife called Hanyadi and Drake up to the main roster to create the next two-headed monster of the NSFL. Hanyadi had a decent rookie campaign, recording over 1200 all purpose yards and scoring 13 times, tied for most in the NSFL in 2034 (S19).
In 2035 (S20), Hanyadi rushed for 1100 yards and had 400 receiving yards on top of that. He also scored a total of 15 times, which was the most in the league. This performance was enough for him to earn Running Back of the Year as well as Offensive Player of the Year awards
