Frank Dux (born July 12, 2032) is an American football runningback who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for University of Wisconsin (Wisconsin) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Frank Dux was born in San Diego California as an Army rat. His dad served, his grandfather served, and so on and so forth. However, Frank grew up knowing he did not want to follow this familial lineage and wanted to break the metaphorical chains that the United States government and war in general had on his family. He was born with tremendous athletic ability and essentially had a football in his hands from a young age. Frank had no siblings and moved constantly due to his dad’s deployments so he would just run imaginary goal line plays on the bases they were stationed at. After years and years of doing this, Frank built up the muscle memory to be an explosive back who had amazing ball carrier skills which he showcased once he got to high school. It was pretty obvious from the get go that Frank was going to be an incredible running back and he found that this could be his chance to breakaway from his expected military service set forth by his father by working hard enough to play college football and maybe, just maybe he could make it to the International Simulation Football League.

College career

"The step from high school to college wasn’t as bad as Frank thought it would be since he moved around a lot and was physically gifted. The school part wasn’t much of a concern due to the fact Frank was interested in his major and knew that he would need to fall back on it if a major injury ever happened. Freshman year saw Frank as the primary backup running back at Wisconsin and it was a role he was okay with and something that helped him develop as a pass catcher in third down situations. It was an amazing year overall as the Badgers ended up going 10-2 and winning the Big Ten championship game and went on to win the National Championship over Alabama 24-17 where Frank had a modest 50 rushing yards and 50 receiving yards. Overall on the season, Frank Dux had 800 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards with 5 total touchdowns.

Winning a championship year one was definitely not a thought in Frank’s mind but it’s a weight that any athlete feels lifted off their shoulders. With the starting running back last season getting drafted it was next man up and Frank took the reins without question. Wisconsin had lost their starting Quarterback to the draft as well so it was a bit of a down year but the team pulled through with a decent 8-4 and made the Tostitos Bowl where they played Texas A&M. During the regular season, Frank put up 1200 rushing yards, 600 receiving yards, and 18 touchdowns which was a great starting point for his goal of making it to the Developmental Simulation Football League before getting to the International Simulation Football League. The Tostitos Bowl was a tough fought battle that ended in a narrow defeat to Texas A&M by the score of 24-27. The loss was tough but it was great motivation to move on and get better personally for Frank and with that he looked forward to his Junior Season and the prospect of breaking out and maybe leaving school early to fulfill his dream of playing football at the next level.

Junior year was one for the books Wisconsin and Frank as the team went undefeated with a 12-0 record, a Big Ten championship, and a National Championship appearance (more on this in a little bit). Frank went on to rush for 1800 yards, 400 receiving yards, 24 touchdowns and was a relatively successful returner for the Badgers. He ended up finishing second in Heisman voting to the shock of many. Frank shrugged it off but deep down he used it as motivation for the future. The championship game was a hard fought battle against the Georgia Bulldogs that went to three overtimes. In the end, the Badgers came away with the win 48-45. Despite this being his Junior year, Frank couldn’t help but feel that this was the closing of a chapter for him. He had been a part of two championship teams here in Wisconsin, he got to be a part of an undefeated season, and finished second in the Heisman vote which is more than a lot of players can say. So what else is there to do other than try to win the Heisman and risk injury for one more season of college football? Scouts had been following him since his sophomore year and knew of his speed, power, ball carrier vision and skills, and have seen him improve as a pass catcher since becoming a Badger.

During the offseason there was a lot of back and forth on what he wanted to do - did he want to maximize on his exposure and success to get drafted high or get a solid signing bonus as a fallback or did he want to go back to Wisconsin for one additional season, try to win the Heisman, win a third championship, and possible risk injury as well. This was another conversation he needed to have with his family and while they’ve come to understand his ability and the fact his dream isn’t that far out of reach - they still had reservations about leaving school early. He’s already on a free ride and the bonus money would still be there if he waited a year. That way he’s not using his bonus money towards finishing his degree. After talking in circles, he knew deep down that his decision was already made weeks prior but he just wasn’t able to convince himself because he wasn’t able to convince his family. So, Frank decided to hire an agent and declare for the draft. He knew his college career was over and that this was the best chance of making something out of his situation than ever before. "
