Acura "The Mechanic" Skyline (born February 15, 1999) is an American football runningback for the Undrafted of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL).

Early years

Acura Skyline was born in Santa Clara, California, to two college professors. Despite his parents' desires that he commit fully to academics, Skyline showed a natural athletic skill from a very young age, especially in the one sport his parents were most staunchly against: Football. Skyline had a natural quickness and tremendous foot speed, resulting in early attention from college recruiters initially due to his performances in the 100 Meter Dash at the Junior Olympics. Ultimately, despite playing varsity all four years and taking Santa Clara High all the way to two CIF championship games, Skyline was unable to carry his team to a ring due to a lack of defensive talent on the roster. In his two CIF championship games, Skyline put up monster stat lines of 32/225/3 and 29/233/4. Fortunately, the disappointing losses were not the end of football for Skyline, and in his senior year he committed to joining the UCLA Bruins.

College career

Skyline began his college career backing up the senior starter on UCLA's team, but quickly experienced an "I've arrived" moment when he rushed for 100 yards on 7 carries in his first game for the Bruins. Skyline took over as starter in his second game, and continued impressing all throughout his true rookie season by rushing for over 1000 yards. In his second year, Skyline continued to put up big numbers, but struggled with bone spurs in his left foot after only 4 games and spent the rest of the season recovering and rehabbing. Skyline has said in interviews that the hardest thing about rehab for him was not being able to help his team on the field, but he developed major leadership skills in the locker room and often served as a player coach, flashing a developed football IQ beyond just the blistering speed and agility that scouts had seen up to this point. In his third and final year, Skyline looked stronger than ever racking up 963 yards across his first six games, but unfortunately the season ended in disappointment. Skyline had his NCAA eligibility revoked when it was discovered that he was accepting money for autographs. Skyline decided not to even appeal his status revocation in an unprecedented move, and instead spent the rest of the school year campaigning for athletes to be able to earn money off of their own likenesses while playing in college and preparing for the DSFL draft. In September of 2019 California Governer Gavin Newsom passed the Fair Pay to Play Act, allowing athletes to profit off of their likenesses and rebuking the NCAA. Skyline is often credited as one of the activist athletes who brought attention to the issue.
