Early years
J.T Kurbis was born and raised in Morristown, NJ, where he attended Morristown High School. Kurbis was a three sport athlete as a Colonial, participating in Football, Wrestling, and Basketball. Kurbis was a runner-up wrestler in the New Jersey State Championship, and he attributes much of his knowledge in the trenches to skills he learned while wrestling. Kurbis was a former 2 star recruit who was lightly recruited by multiple colleges his senior year, and ended up taking his talents close to home with the West Chester University Golden Rams.
Kurbis' father was a state champion wrestler in Pennsylvania in 1982, and his mother played D1 Soccer with the Portland Pilots. His mother is quoted as saying, "J.T. was a real big kid growing up, like his dad. He was constantly eating, and his favorite food in the whole wide world is Pancakes. I would make them every morning for breakfast before school each day, and he would eat at least 10."
College career
At West Chester University Kurbis was immediately introduced to the starting lineup, and while he was in and out with minor injuries his first two seasons, he was still able to record and impressive amount of games played, more than any other Golden Ram in history at 35 games. Kurbis would show a propensity both for hard work and a knack for picking up the Golden Rams power heavy run scheme quickly.
Kurbis was a relatively unknown prospect, only recently coming into the ISFL spotlight in terms of recruiting. Many scouts were pleasantly surprised by a media video released after Kurbis' pro-day at WCU, where he set school records on both the bench-press and the deadlift. Kurbis would start all 12 games for the Golden Rams his final season, yet it was not without challenge, as he gave up the most pressures on the team that year. Many scouts pointed to his hand-placement and propensity to shoot his hands too early which made Kurbis a feast or famine player at WCU.

Professional career
DSFL career
Kurbis was claimed off of waivers by the Tijuana Luchadores during the 2049 (S34) season. He would only play one regular season game for Tijuana before the 2049 (S34) season ended. He recorded 2 complete pancakes in his limited played time as a backup. During their short postseason run, Kurbis would fill in as a backup offensive tackle for Swantavius Payne and A Kicker. Tijuana would lose the DSFL North Conference Championship in heartbreaking fashion to the Dallas Birddogs in overtime, who would go on to win the Ultimini that year. Kurbis was released ahead of the 2050 (S35) DSFL Draft. He would go on to play for the Chihuahua Chupacabras in the 2050 (S35) Prospect Bowl. Many teams are scouting the young lineman to see how he will fit into their offensive philosophy in the DSFL. There are some scouts that have Kurbis as the first lineman off the board in the 2050 Draft.
