Lenard McRobinson (born February 2, 2035) is an American football quarterback for the Honolulu Hahalua of the ISFL.He played college football for South Dakota State University (SDSU) before being drafted by the Kansas City Coyotes in the 2058 DSFL Draft (S43). He would later be drafted by the Honolulu Hahalua in the second round of the 2059 ISFL Draft (S44).

Early years

Lenard McRobinson was born on February 7th, 2035 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He displayed a love for the game of football from a young age, frequently travelling with his parents to catch Minnesota Grey Duck games nearby. While his athletic talent was apparent early on, it was his passion for the intricacies of the sport - schemes, matchups, and strategies - that stood out to his family, friends, and coaches.

Lenard attended Sioux Falls Washington High School, a local powerhouse that frequently topped the South Dakota circuit standings but rarely made headlines beyond the state. The Warriors had an established starting quarterback one year older than McRobinson when he joined the varsity team as a sophomore, but his athleticism forced his coaches to find ways to get him on the field. He rotated in as a running back, receiver, and played snaps in the defensive backfield during his first season with the team. Heading into his junior year, he leveled with the coaching staff - he knew his future was at the quarterback position, and he needed to get his skills on tape for college scouts. With the possibility of a transfer within the school district in play, the coaches agreed to give him snaps as a Wildcat quarterback with a promise of a full-time starting job as a senior. He quickly made a name for himself, rushing for over 100 yards in four separate games despite seeing limited time under center. As a senior, McRobinson validated his decision to stay with the team, leading them to an 11-1 record and another state championship while accounting for over 3,500 yards through the air, 1,400 yards on the ground, and 58 total touchdowns.

McRobinson was evaluated as the #11 Athlete in the country by college recruiting services and received a four-star rating. He garnered interest from major programs across the country, specifically those with recruiting footprints in the Midwest. He took official visits to Minnesota, Michigan, and Nebraska, but ultimately was told by each team that they saw him as a running back, wide receiver, or defensive back. The only school that was willing to give him an offer as a quarterback was South Dakota State University, so McRobinson put his dreams of playing under the bright Big Ten lights aside to hone his craft at the FCS blueblood.

College career

McRobinson stepped onto campus as the highest-rated recruit in Jackrabbit history with media buzz surrounding him from day one. However, his adjustment to the college level didn't happen immediately as he was given an opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback job as a freshman but ultimately was outplayed by the team's returning senior passer. He retained his redshirt eligibility by appearing in just three games as a freshman, primarily when the game was out of hand, and accounted for just 158 total yards.

As a sophomore, he won the starting quarterback job and played well, albeit with some hiccups. While his athleticism translated immediately with almost 1,000 rushing yards in his first season, he was inconsistent as a passer, throwing for just 1,800 yards with nearly as many interceptions (14) as touchdowns (17).

He connected with a quarterback coach in the offseason prior to his junior year in an attempt to fix some of the mechanical issues plaguing his passing and entered the year vowing to be a different player. He was successful, increasing his passing stats to over 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while leading the team to an 9-2 regular season record and exit in the semifinals of the FCS tournament.

As a senior, he once again built on his capabilities in both areas of the game, becoming SDSU's single-season yardage leader for passing yards, touchdowns, and rushing yards by a quarterback while leading them to a berth in the FCS championship game, ultimately losing to traditional rival North Dakota State. He declined to come back for his final year of eligibility in order to enter the DSFL draft and pursue a professional career.

Prior to the DSFL draft, Lenard received an invitation to join the Bondi Beach Buccaneers for the remainder of their season. He saw action in the season finale, he completed 5 passes on 12 attempts for 45 yards, adding 3 carries that netted 0 yards.

McRobinson was drafted by the Kansas City Coyotes in the third round. He immediately assumed the starting quarterback role after the departure of former QB Jake Jefferson to the ISFL. In his professional debut, a 23-7 loss against the London Royals, he completed just 17 of 37 passes for 233 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, but showed his dual-threat abilities with 30 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Coyotes would find themselves in a 0-3 hole early in the season, but proceeded to reel off five wins in the next seven games before finishing the season on an 0-3-1 skid. However, their 5-8-1 record managed to narrowly edge out London for a playoff spot, where they fell to the Portland Pythons in the first round. Although the wins were scarce, McRobinson's season went reasonably well as he adjusted to the difficulty of professional play - but not without its growing pains as well. His 16 to 10 touchdown to interception ratio was the best of the rookie quarterbacks who were their team's primary passer, although his accuracy and depth of attempts left something to be desired. The brightest spot, however, was his nearly 500 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns on 4.9 yards per carry, with the latter two stats ranking tied for third in the league among all qualified rushers.

McRobinson entered his second season with Kansas City with high hopes for both his performance and the team's, although losing key players like RB Anakin Skywalker put the team's ability to make the leap to contender in question. The season was an inverse of the prior campaign as the Coyotes started off hot by winning three of their first four games before dropping six contests in a row and ending the season on another three-for-four run to end the season at 6-8, a narrow step up. Once again, a blowout loss to the Portland Pythons in the first round of the playoffs would end the team's season. McRobinson's development as a passer stalled, as he completed passes at a similar rate but recorded over 200 fewer yards as well as an ugly 12 to 11 TD to INT ratio. On the ground, he improved his performance to the tune of 6.1 yards per carry, a substantial increase from the previous season, and matched his 8 touchdown runs.

The Coyotes entered McRobinson's third campaign with high hopes for their ability to finally emerge as serious contenders in the DSFL landscape, and they put the league on notice early with a dominant 62-14 win over the London Royals, which was far and away the best game of McRobinson's career. He completed 72% of his passes on 11.6 yards per attempt and three scores, while also setting a DSFL and ISFL record with 339 rushing yards to go along with four touchdowns on the ground. However, the magnificence it foreshadowed didn't come to pass as Kansas City proved to be streaky, following up a two game win streak with four straight losses, five straight wins, and three straight losses to close out the season at 7-7. This time, however, their record was good enough to claim the top seed in the North division and secure home field advantage for a third straight first round matchup with Portland. After emerging victorious, the Coyotes ultimately lost in the Ultimini game to the Tijuana Luchadores. McRobinson's final statline ended up largely mirroring his prior two campaigns, leaving fans to wonder what could have been if he'd been able to keep up his Performance of the Year-winning abilities all season long.

McRobinson's fourth and final season in Kansas City got off to a slow start, as the team went 0-3 to begin the season and dampen their hopes of a postseason push. However, just five games into the campaign, Lenard received notice that he'd been designated to join the Honolulu Hahalua as their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. The Hahalua, who had started the season 0-5 after expecting to be Ultimus contenders, decided to begin a rebuild that included trading long-time franchise quarterback Nova Montagne and bringing in McRobinson to kickstart his development. The move was not without controversy, as analysts and pundits around the league objected to McRobinson somehow managing to play in one final DSFL game after he had made his first career ISFL start. McRobinson's remaining rookie season was largely uneventful, as he played reasonably well but had rookie bumps to overcome. His rushing statistics in particular left more to be desired, and the team - as planned - won only one of his nine starts to close out the year.
