Bageshwari Singh (born November 29, 2028) is an American football quarterback for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Bageshwari Singh was born in Varanasi, India where growing up he had never heard of the sport of American football. Throughout his childhood his main focus was on his academics, which he excelled at, while Bageshwari always had a passion for sports his parents always made sure his education remained his priority instead. He would often have to sneak away from home to be able to go play soccer or cricket with his friends throughout primary school. After finishing secondary school in India, Singh had an opportunity to apply for an academic scholarship overseas in America. This scholarship through The Rockefeller Foundation was very hard to get, only a couple international students would receive it every year. Bageshwari worked hard however and received the scholarship and used it to attend the University of Chicago in America. Bageshwari arrived in downtown Chicago a few months before his school started to settle into his new environment and immediately fell in love with the city. The culture and big skyscrapers were a big change from his hometown but he loved every bit of it. One of the few things he learned before his first year started was about American football. Chicago was a big football city with the Chicago Bears of the NFL and Chicago Butchers of the ISFL both being big.

College career

Bageshwari being new to the sport of American football didn't know where to begin to pursue his newfound passion, the most experience he had throwing a ball was bowling in cricket. However the Chicago Maroons football not being a big football school, being in division III held open try outs early in the semester and Bageshwari found his chance. Being new to football altogether Bageshwari didn't have much of the technique down but his arm immediately caught the eye of Kyle Derickson, the team's offensive coordinator who saw glimmer of potential in Singh. Bageshwari got an invite to the team however spent his freshman year redshirted as he learned the playbook and more of the fundamentals of the sport. During Singh's sophomore season he was promoted to the the primary backup QB of the team. While he didn't get a lot of playing time, he still got his first action of real football this season when he came in for the last game of the season due to an injury to the starting QB and shined leading the Maroons to a come from behind win. Going into his Junior season Bageshwari was given the opportunity to win the starting QB job in camp, he had shown great development from when he first joined the team and ended up winning the job and getting his first full season as a starter. The team around him struggled at first but eventually Bageshwari put division III football on notice with his first season, leading the Maroons to their first Midwest Conference Championship in decades, the team would end up losing in the semifinals of the playoffs however. Singh ended up dominating the lower competition at DIII football and had the opportunity to transfer into the B1G the following season, but he decided to stay at UChicago to finish his degree before further pursuing his athletic career. His senior season of football went even better than the previous season, Maroons went undefeated and made the DIII Championship game against the Mount Union Purple Raiders where Singh went on to have the best performance of his colligate career. Singh passed for 553 yards, 7 TDs, 1 INT, while completing 73% of his passes and rushed for an additional 68 yards in a blowout 56-8 title game.
