Dee Walt (born April 1, 1995) is an American football tight end who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for University of Iowa (UIOWA) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Dee Walt was born on the outskirts of beautiful Iowa City. He grew up on his parent's farm, learning the tricks of the trade. He didn't pick it up very quickly, as he's a little behind the curve, but he figured it all out eventually. Growing up, he always thought he would be a farmer like his daddy and his daddy before him. As he kept growing, though, it was getting harder and harder for him to fit into the tractor. His parents had a feeling that he might be good at football someday, given a little training. They thought this because Dee would always see the scarecrows, think they were some trespassor, and tackle them. Scarecrows don't cost much, but it was certainly annoying. Eventually they decided to sign him up for football. As with everything, it took quite a while to catch on, but eventually he figured it out!

College career

Dee Walt didn't have your typical run of the mill career in college football. He didn't even play for the first couple of years. He got into college through some rural American program, where schools get extra funding for accepting underqualified people from the rural population. He was never offered any scholarships to any big schools, so he just decided to hang up the cleats. He eventually discovered ultimate frisbee, and he fell in love. He made it onto one of the best teams in the country, although he was the last man on the roster. He didn't feel very welcomed to the team, and didn't get a ton of playing time, so he switched to a different team. There he got plenty of playing time, and he was having fun again. They ended the season as the worst ultimate frisbee team in the entire country. The Hawkeyes football head coach realized he completely forgot to sign a backup tight end, and he happened to realize this right as he walked by the 6'6 mountain of a man, Dee Walt. He offered him a walk on spot on the team, and the rest is history. He played sparingly in his junior year, but he was dominant in his senior year, setting school records in nearly every tight end stat.

ISFL Career

After being drafted to the Chicago Butchers in the second round of the S30 draft, the Butchers asked Walt if he would be okay with changing positions and playing Safety. Walt said he would be happy to, but “aren’t I a bit oversized at 6’6 255lb?”. GM Bayley Swift responded with “Yeaaaaah I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You actually have the natural frame of a 6’0 person, your neck is just 7 inches longer than the average person’s neck. Our team surgeon is confident that he can fix that.” And the rest was history. Walt had the surgery and slimmed down, and now he stands at 6’0 190lb.

Walt had a pretty underwhelming rookie season, which was to be expected after a drastic surgery and weight change, not to mention the fact that he was changing to a vastly different position. Through his next few seasons though, he has been steadily progressing. Dee Walt truly came into his own during the 2048 season. He had already been on the ballot for the defensive breakout of the year in a previous season, but this was the season that he really came out of his shell, both on the field and off the field. Off the field, he began to realize that he’s becoming one of the elder statesmen of the Butchers defense. His mentors were beginning to retire. His old safety duo mate Damian Blackfyre had already retired a couple seasons ago, and others such as Daymond Brooks, Juan Domine, Alejandro Chainbreaker, and Wasrabi Gleel already had plans in place for retirement. Because of this, he knew he needed to become a leader, and took steps to begin that transformation. On the field, he had his most productive season, statistically speaking, as he finished the year with five interceptions, best for 2nd place among safeties. Despite this fact, he was shockingly left off of the Safety of the Year ballot. His mentor Tyron Shields had warned him about the anti-Chicago bias in the awards committee…
