Federico Americano (born August 12, 2035) is an American football linebacker for the Norfolk Seawolves of the DSFL. He played college football for Oregon State before declaring for the 2056 DSFL Draft (S41).

Early years

Federico Americano was born on August 12 2035 in San Diego, California to mother Luisa and father Armando. He grew up with two older brothers and together the three would spend their time at the local park running and playing sports until the sun went down. The brothers would constantly wind up in trouble or getting into fights with other kids. Their father decided to enroll the three into a summer sports camps to keep the rowdy youngsters busy. His older brothers took well to baseball but Federico was enthralled by the game of football.

The area was filled to the brim with youth sports teams being in a large metro area like San Diego. Federico joined his first youth team at the age of 9 and really started to take things seriously by 12. Early on they rotate you through a bunch of positions and Federico did not have a spot to really stick into. He grew up a fan of the Orange County Otters and finally got his chance to see a game in person when he was 14. His dad took him to the week 8 game against the Chicago Butchers. The Otters lost by one in heartbreaking fashion but the Federico fell in love with the play of Dominos Pizzaman. His hard nose play from behind the defensive line was inspiring to the young teen. He then decided that he wanted to go forward and focus his talents into becoming a linebacker.

College career

Americano was a three star recruit coming out of high school and committed to Oregon State University. He would spend the next three seasons as a Beaver playing in the FBS. As a true freshman, he found himself on the bench to start the season and got his first taste of game action in week 3. He proved his worth and got the opportunity to start the next five games. Unfortunately his season would but cut short with an ankle injury that put him out for the remainder of the year. Americano would come back from injury and start the every game for the next two seasons. He primarily lined up as the middle linebacker and was a huge failsafe for the Beavers defense. His presence was felt in every game as he would lead the team in total tackles both seasons. He also stepped up his vertical game and knocked nine pass deflections and collected two picks. The Beavers were unfortunately not in the best shape during his time with the team so they found themselves always on the outside looking in when it came to the playoffs. Following his junior season, Americano made the decision to forgo his senior season and declare for the DSFL draft.
