Leonardo McTurtle (born July 21, 1997) is an American football defensive end who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for Shaolin Temple (ST) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

When I was just a little turtle when I was exposed to some crazy weird ooze. I was then taken in by Master Splinter who taught me discipline and control. The first thing I was tuaght was how to master the martial arts. Once I had mastered my craft there I decided I needed to find a new challenege. I looked and tried many things but decided the best course of action for me was to try out football. I have since learnt to use these skills to conqour the gridiron. I started late in highschool but with the skills I had used my size and skills to help put me to the front of the school. After highschool I was awarded a scholarship to the Shaolin Temple I really found my stride on the field playing next to my brother who also decided to pursue a career in football as well. Naturally we are two peas i a pod. He played right beside me in the DT job. I have played my whole career beside him.

College career

My strange upbringing continured to play a role in my life. I chose the Shaolin Temple as a school I really respected due to the nature and connection it had to the marital arts. I was lucky enough to have my brother Raphael with me for this journey. College got off to a rocky start as I had to find a way to balance my love to pizza and partying compared to competing against much better athletes at the college level. Though I had the mental fortitude to power through some of the hardships and still end up finishing my rookie season with 30 combined tackles with 15 sacks. Not a bad start for a rookie right? Well I was able to pretty much match that the next 3 years of college ball despite our teams overall lack of success I found some pride in my personal achievements. Well to be honest the only real thing I focused on in college was football so I am glad I was able to declare for the season and the upcoming DSFL draft. without this opportunity it would mean I would have to go back to the sewers of New York and fight crime or something ridiclous.

Professional career statistics

S31 After being picked up on waivers from the Luchadores their season was cut short falling in the conference finals. Leo was able to get some game action with 4 games played however was unable to really find his footing only registering 2 tacks and 2 tackles for a loss. He would use this as motivation though to get ready to come back for the upcoming DSFL draft determined to make an impact.

S32 Come time to the DSFL draft Leo was Taken 4th overall by the Tijuana Luchadores. Lucky for him he was able to also be drafted with his brother Raphael! Together the two made an instant impact with the dominating team of the Luchadores. The team had a rocky start but was able to battle back to make the playoffs. However the dream of the Ultimini was cut short with a conference finals loss to Norfolk. Despite that during the regular season Leo was determined to make an impact this time with his brother at his side. Leonardo would do just that. coming back and starting in all 14 games and notching 29 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and an impressive 11 sacks. This performance played a huge role in him being nominated for 3 awards. He was nominated for Defensive end of the year, Defensive rookie of the year, and Defensive player of the year. It appears all eyes will be on Leonardo in the upcoming draft.

S33 Then comes the S33 ISFL draft. With the first overall pick of the Draft Leonardo McTurtle was taken by the Orange County Otters. Orange County was not done their though. They also moved up from 13th to the 6th pick from the Philadelphia Liberty to select his brother Raphael McTurtle. After much discussion and negotiations with the coaches in Orange County during the off season it was finally decided that both Raph and Leo would stay together and join Orange County in their true rookie seasons. This was a season we weren’t really sure what to expect. After a slow start in the preseason and what turned out to be 3 true rookies in the lineup it was as though the season was supposed to be a building one. However it turned out to be anything but that. With some incredible coaching and MVP calibre seasons from some it was no doubt a season to remember. The young otters went 9-7 which secured a second place finish in the ASFC. They then pulled off a win against Austin to meet in the ASFC championship with Arizona. Once again they pulled off an upset win and were able to clinch a berth to the Ultimus. Unfortunately the Otters would come up short. This didn’t take away from the Fact that Leo was able to have an excellent rookie campaign notching 10 Sacks and a Safety as well as adding 24 tackles. He shows a lot of promise and hopefully this is the start to a very strong and long career.
