Thorian Johannes Skarsgard (born January 9, 2000) is an American football linebacker for the Tijuana Luchadores of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He played college football for Rutgers University (RU) before being drafted by the Tijuana Luchadores in the 2026 DSFL Draft (S11).
Early years
Thorian was born on September 13th, 2000 to parents Svarre and Anna Skarsgard. He was always large for his age, and excelled athletically from the time he was young. As with most Norweigan youth that are athletically inclined, he played hockey throughout high school. He was his team's star defenseman and won two national championships, but was permanently banned from the team his senior year because of numerous offenses for excessive brutality and unsportsmanlike conduct. Needing to find an outlet for his teenage aggression, he began to play rugby, which at the time was a growing sport in Norway. When his parents moved to the United States for his father's job, he ended up enrolling at Rutgers University.
College career
Upon enrolling at Rutgers, Thorian initially signed on to play for the university's intermural rugby team. While at practice one day during his freshman year, the football team's linebackers coach happened to notice him and suggested that he try walking on to the team. Beginning in his sophomore season, he immediately became the team's starting middle linebacker due mostly to his tenacity and incredible work ethic. After starting at middle linebacker for three consecutive seasons and setting numerous records at Rutgers including most career tackles and most career forced fumbles, he announced that he would be applying for the 2026 DSFL Draft.
