Early years
Avon Blocksdale was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. From a young age Avon loved to play football. He had two positions that are not usually correlated to each other that he loved to play, Quarterback and Offensive Line. He was initially scouted by teams as a Quarterback, but a freak injury in high school led doctors to say he will likely never throw a football again. In spite of that, Avon was listed as a 4 star recruit heading in to his senior year, and received numerous offers.
College career
After being ranked a 4 star offensive line prospect Avon accepted a full scholarship to Penn State. He started as a freshman right away for the team at right guard and was pretty good. He was known for being an excellent pass blocker, but had some work to do in the run game.
In his Sophomore year Avon was slated yet again to start at right Guard, and had a moderately disappointing season. The Penn State offensive line was considered a relative disaster as their Quarterback was sacked several times. Due to the line's lack of overall talent Avon often had to take on the top interior rusher on the opposing team by himself. Because of this Avon played three positions, Left Guard, Center and Right Guard during the season. Penn State had modest success, but made a bowl game - this Pin Stripe Bowl. In the Pin Stripe Bowl the line coalesced and the Penn State Offense dominated.
Heading in to his Junior Year Avon Blocksdale was named the starter at Left Tackle. Avon was the only Upper Classman on a talented, but young offensive line. During this season Avon was pretty solid, he avoided penalties (committing only 4 all year), and allowed 5 sacks. During this season, Penn State had a lot of success, missing the college football playoffs, but qualifying for the Rose Bowl.
After this successful Junior Year, Avon decided to declare for the 2017 ISFL Draft (S2).
Professional career
Avon BLocksdale was not invited to the scouting combine after his junior season, so NSFL General Managers were unable to get a good read on his pure athletic traits.
The summary text goes here... Use Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "#". to link to a specific season page for a specific team. If you need to link to the season page for the league in general, use Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "#". (S##SEASON_NUMBER##). Other links can be created as and when you want them. It's not a big deal.
But yeah, summarise each season in this bit. Just a quick overview. Nothing too in-depth. If something major happened, like the multi scandal, or the incorrect TPE stuff, it's probably worth having a separate article for those kinds of things.
