Ozamataz "Whirlwind" Buckshank (born February 17, 2015) is an American football cornerback for the Undrafted of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL).

Early years

Ozamataz Buckshank was born to parents Juana and Martez Buckshank in Reading, Pennsylvania. With dual Mexican/American nationality thanks to his mother's immigration in the early 2000s, Ozamataz was able to develop both English and Spanish skills as well as showing considerable athletic aptitude throughout his elementary schooling.

With considerable pressure from his sports agent father Martez, Ozamataz was highly involved in sport, representing the Henderson High School Lions throughout his four years there. Never truly at home in any one position, Ozamataz played all but lineman and only became full-time as a defensive back in his senior season. His nine interceptions in his final year set a team record that is still to be beaten.

It is around this time that Ozamataz is believed to have begun wrestling training. Supported by his mother, using her Mexican roots, Ozamataz is believed to have begun learning the luchadore style of wrestling, an aerial combat system popular south of the border. Though his father was reportedly frustrated with this and concerned about the potential wear and tear on his body, Ozamataz excelled at the body control required to move through the air. The pair agreed that Buckshank would work under a mask so that no colleges - if they came prowling for his football skills - would be unduly put off by the risks he was taking in and around the ring. Due to the overall secrecy and mystique surrounding this type of wrestling, no videos exist of Ozamataz training, but he is believed to have made an appearance aged 16 as "El Mitico Jr." in a small show.

College career

Buckshank received scholarship offers from numerous D3 schools, but with his father's support (both financial and emotional) decided to attempt to walk-on at Stanford instead.

Freshman Season

Ozamataz was not red-shirted, with a critical lack of depth in place for the defensive backs of the team during that point. Ozamataz's time came in week 7, when Bizmo Funyuns tore his calf, and Ozamataz had to step in. A solid, yet unremarkable season followed, with Ozamataz recording twelve tackles and a recovered fumble in eight games.

Sophomore Season

Gaining some media attention after declining the offer of a scholarship again, Ozamataz began his rise in his sophomore year. Despite a concussion in week 2 which sidelined him for four weeks, Ozamataz found that he was receiving the ultimate compliment from opposing QBs - they simply didn't target the receiver he was covering. Switching between safety and cornerback, Buckshank showed excellent flexibility and amazing speed. He used this to good effect and began to garner a name for blitzing as well, gaining the nickname "Whirlwind" for his spin move that looked awfully like a ""Slingblade"" move popularly seen in professional wrestling. Despite the injury, Ozamataz closed out the season with 53 tackles, one interception and three sacks.

Junior Season

This best season of Buckshank's college career, he exploded into the limelight with an incredible game against Miami, with 12 tackles, 2 interceptions and a sack. Still to find the end zone - a result that would continue to elude him - Ozamataz had rightly become feared in coverage, with opposition QBs often choosing to throw the ball away rather than risk sending it near his zone. Using his speed to retreat away from the line, Ozamataz was able to support in both run and pass situations, and found himself leading the team in tackles in four of the games that season. Following injuries to his teammates, Ozamataz found himself voted in as a team captain in week 9, and celebrated this by catching one streak pass for a touchdown in a last second win against UCLA. With numerous defensive player of the week awards gained, and an injury-free season, Ozamataz finished his junior season with a team-high 73 tackles (six for a loss) and three interceptions. Again, getting into the end zone defensively eluded him.

Senior Season

Elected team captain for the second time, Ozamataz ran the show and was responsible for being the link between coach and defensive unit throughout the season. Averaging eight tackles a game over his senior season, Ozamataz led the team on many occasions with this statistic, impressing many with his speed and physicality. Three forced fumbles in one game against Colorado continued to put his name on the map, but his interception rate dropped massively and he did not record a single one over the season. With two weeks out with an ankle injury, Buckshank was still able to record over a hundred tackles for the year, four sacks and four forced fumbles. Despite the lack of interceptions, the quarterback rating of those who threw against him was very low, showing he was a clear success at zone coverage. "
