Early years
Son of Mary Lee and Vernon Van Goff; Billy "The Gun" Van Goff was born William Stephen Van Goff in Altoona, Pennsylvania. From a very young age, he was fascinated by both the sport of American Football and Guns. His favorite team growing up was the Philadelphia Liberty and his favorite gun was the Colt M1911; in high school, he tried out for his high school's football team the Altoona Mountain Lions, and won the starting job his freshman year of high school. Throwing for over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns each of his four years as starting QB; his strong arm and accurate throwing; as well as his admiration for guns; fans and players gave him the nickname ""The Gun"". After never missing a game due to injury in high school Billy Van Goff was highly scouted; and after a very long decision process, he decided to stay in his home state for college, choosing Penn State over many other prestigious options, due to his commitment to his family and his home state.
College career
Billy Van Goff was a trailblazer and eventually a rule changer during his college career at Penn State. After being redshirted his freshman season; Van Goff started the first game of his college career being sacked 3 straight times in his opening drive. He was so shaken up and frustrated that he did something that would change the game of American college football forever. After going back to the sideline following the opening drive punt his coach Lew Massey yelled out "Well what are you going to do about it!" and Van Goff uttered something completely unexpected... "I'm gonna get my gun!". And for the entirety of his college career; Billy had not just a great arm, but a gun as well. The NCAA changed the rules after the game preventing any player from using a gun during the game but the rule had a grandfather clause in it allowing "The Gun" to continue to play with a gun. He passed for over 3500 yards and 35 Touchdowns his two seasons starting for Penn State before he was "forced" to leave college and join the newest DSFL draft class. Now we'll see if the DSFL and ISFL force a rule change themselves!
