Early years

Dougie Smalls was born in Orange County California in 2015 and stayed in the area until he left for college. As a child, Smalls loved the strategy of American football, spending many hours playing Madden Classic Franchise Mode and reading about football history. Once he got a chance to play flag football, Smalls athletic ability was revealed, dominating the competition in his age group at all positions. Despite his early athletic ability, Smalls enjoyed the strategy and focus of being a kicker. To Smalls, kicker was not only a focused position, but also one that had an impact on the game. So, he stuck with kicking, winning many Punt, Pass, and Kick competitions before high school. Due to Smalls being very athletically gifted, many of his middle school and high school coaches wanted him to play other positions, but Smalls remained focused on the craft of kicking. During high school, Smalls played both football and golf. While most talented kickers have a background in soccer, Smalls never once played soccer.

College career

Smalls was a top recruit kicker and punter coming out of John F. Kennedy High School. Late 2032, Smalls committed to the University of South Carolina late in high school after being recruited by multiple schools, including University of Tennessee Knoxville, University of Texas San Antonio, Texas A&M University, University of Memphis, and University of Tulsa. At South Carolina, Smalls became the starting kicker as a Freshman. While he also competed for the starting punter position, he did not win the position, struggling with distance punts. Smalls quickly became known as an extremely accurate kicker and a clutch kicker, winning several big games with long, last minute field goals. His clutch kicking gave him the nickname The Notorious D.U.G. by the fans and media. Despite this accurate kicking, South Carolina struggled to compete in the stacked SEC. After his second season at South Carolina, Smalls announced he would leave for the DSFL, in hopes of starting a long professional career and break the NSFL kicking records held by Turk Turkleton, who had a very long professional career. Many speculated that Smalls left South Carolina early due to the back to back losing seasons and the high turnover among the coaching staff. During his college career, Smalls only missed 2 extra points and 2 field goals.

For being a kicker, Dougie Smalls has been known for his extreme confidence and cocky attitude. His cocky attitude often rubbed competitors the wrong way. In 2033, Smalls put am extremely hard hit on the kick returner from Michigan after the second half kickoff. After this huge hit, Smalls had some harsh words for multiple opposing players, which set off multiple fights. Smalls was suspended one game for his part in the incident, but as expected, a huge hit from the kicker provided fuel for his teammates, which carried a 4 game winning streak, after losing the first 4 games of the season.
