Dermot Lavelle, Jr. (born April 13, 2008) is an American football cornerback who plays for the Austin Copperheads of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). Lavelle was drafted fourth overall in the 2031 ISFL Draft (S16) by the Austin Copperheads, where he has remained for all of his career. Previously, he was drafted third overall in the 2030 DSFL Draft (S15) by the Norfolk Seawolves whilst the season before Lavelle had spent it on the Kansas City Coyotes as a waiver player, for which he had two appearences in the regular season. Lavelle is a one time Ultimus champion, four time NSFL pro bowler and the son of NSFL Hall of Famer Dermot Lavelle.

Early years

Lavelle was born in Yellowknife, Canada on April 13th 2008. Lavelle Jr. would spent most of his childhood living in Yellowknife following his father's retirement from the NSFL and after spending his entire career with the Yellownife Wraiths. The son of NSFL Hall of Famer, Dermot Lavelle, Lavelle Jr. was encouraged to play football from a very young age. Like his father, Lavelle Jr. played a number of sports including soccer, basketball and volleyball alongside american football. Lavelle opted to reject a number of high profile D1 scholarships insisting that they "are interested in me because of my father's legacy and his career, not my potential, grit or hard work that has got me to where I am today". Lavelle decided to enter Aurora College, Yellowknife where he would decline the opportunity to play football at a collegiate level.

College career

Lavelle attended Aurora College in Yellowknife. He opted to not play collegiate football, instead choosing to play for the basketball team as a point guard. Lavelle averaged 13.8 points, 9.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game for Aurora during his single season there (26 games).

Professional career

Lavelle declared for the 2030 (S15) DSFL Draft and was eligible to hit the 2029 (S14) DSFL waiver wire where he was picked up by the Kansas City Coyotes for their final two games of the season. Following this, Lavelle was selected third overall in the 2030 DSFL Draft (S15) by the Norfolk Seawolves. After little over a season and a bit in the DSFL, Dermot Lavelle Jr. declared for the 2031 ISFL Draft (S16) and following the public release of his draft conditions, found himself drafted fourth overall to the Austin Copperheads.

Lavelle Jr. competed in all 7 aspects of the NSFL Scouting Combine which included other notable defensive backs in the class such as Jaylen Storm, Anthony Rowland and Chance Matthews. Lavelle excelled in four of the seven drills, placing top five in the Wonderlic (T-3rd), Vertical jump (4th), Broad jump (4th) and the 3 cone drill (3rd).
