Early years
Fawn Dillmiballs was born into a family of 9. His two parents, Hugh and Candice, both worked as data analysts. Fawn has been hinting at a proffesional football career since birth, but with a birthweight of 13 pounds 4 ounces, its a surprise he was born in the first place. His parents were stunned. Not only had none of their other children eclipsed sizes remotely close to those Fawn was expected to reach, but also were they all extremely academically driven. Fawn was the opposite, as a young boy, he looked up to the legendary Booger McFarland, who spent his career primarily with the Tampa Bay Buccanneers of the NFL. Fawn played football throughout his high school career, but unfortunately after following in Booger's footsteps as a D-Tackle his first two seasons, he wasn't able to live up to his full potential. After making the switch to coverage linebacker, he went on a tear during his junior and senior years, showing flashes of speed while maintaining his ability to deal crushing blows. With 182 tackles, 19 sacks, 4 interceptions, 20 forced fumbles, and 32 tackles for loss, it was obvious that Fawn would have scouts knocking on his door day and night. Academically, Fawn struggled. Entereing his senior year with a 1.46 GPA, his parents were understandably frustrated with his performance. However, Fawn would eventually commit to the University of Michigan.
College career
Fawn was listed as a starter entering his first game for U of M, but unfortunately he was sidelined for non-athletic groin sprains. He played only 3 games his freshman year, and didn't have the breakout moment many of his peers and coaches expected. It would come however, when the Michigan State Spartans were driving with four minutes left in the 4th quarter Fawn's sophmore year. Having been benched shortly before his second season, he was surprised to hear his number called at such a pivotal moment. He ended up intercepting a pass from Brian Lewerke on the following play, and while sprinting his way down the sideline, knocked lineman Mike Panasiuk unconscious with a devastating truck, earning him the nickname "Boogey Man". He earned back the starting job, and succeeded in leading the Badgers to their first national championship in 36 years. Fawn developed a high football IQ during his final two years, mastering the ability to read plays and the quarterbacks eyes. He racked up 226 tackles, 19 interceptions, 22 forced fumbles, and 8 sacks his junior and senior years, earning him a spot in the Athletic Hall of Honor. As of late Fawn has busied himself in preparation for the upcoming DSFL draft, and hopes to make a proffessional roster to fulfill his ultimate goal.

Season 21: Fawn was selected as the 69th pick overall in the season 21 DSFL Draft to the Kansas City Coyotes. Though it was predicted that, if going off of pure talent and production alone, Fawn would be selected higher overall, the opportunity for him to go down as pick 69 was too tough to resist. After a painfully long offseason, Fawn finally got his opportunity to play during the team's preseason games. Unfortunately, the team only managed a record of 1-3 over their preseason games, and the coaches and GM's all knew the team needed to do better. During the first couple weeks of the regular season, Fawn played as a backup linebacker for Sean O'Donohue and Matt Ammons. He wasn't particularly adamant about continuing his career as a backup, so Fawn greatly increased his productivity and eventually took the starting job from Matt Ammons. As a starter, Fawn was terrific. Racking up tackles all over the field became his specialty, and he soon rose to the forefront of the team's defensive efforts. He was one of many reasons why the Coyotes ended up having such a stellar season, and the team ended with a record of 9-3. In his first playoff games against the Portland Pythons, Fawn made a huge impact with 11 tackles and a sack. The team succeeded in reaching the Ultimini game, which was to be played against the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. However, the team would ultimately fall short of a championship, as they lost the game 27-10. Ultimately though, Fawn was proud of how his team had played and of his performance, and he decided to work even harder in the offseason to prepare him for the NSFL Draft and the upcoming season.
