Quendyn Quarterstorm (born June 3, 2029) is an American football safety for the Chicago Butchers of the International Simulation Football League (ISFL).

Early years

Quarterstorm was born in Seattle, Washington. He was raised by his single mother, Gina Quarterstorm. He attended Rainier Beach High School and was initially defaulted to playing linebacker as he was bigger in size than the rest of the secondary. His achieved mediocre stats that year, and he often looked lost. As he moved onto his sophomore year, he became leaner, and his coach moved him to safety. The position fit Quarterstorm like a glove and everything seemed to click for him. He wreaked havoc across the field and Rainier Beach managed to make the playoffs. In Quarterstorm's junior year, he was designated captain of the defense and was given free rein to change calls as he saw fit. These coaching decisions propelled Quarterstorm to new heights as he tallied 38 tackles, 13 passes defensed, seven interceptions, two forced fumbles, and three fumbles recovered. This stellar season won him the All-State Defensive Player of the Year honors. In his senior year, his stats dipped as most opposing schools decided to play away from where he lined up. Quarterstorm still managed eight pass breakups, two interceptions, and two sacks for the season.

College career

Quarterstorm attended the University of Washington where he played for the Huskies from 2047 to 2049. He began in a reserve role, but an injury to the starter in the seventh game of the season bumped Quarterstorm up the depth chart. In the remaining five games of the year, he accrued 12 combined tackles and three pass breakups. He also had one interceptions and one forced fumble. In his second year, Quarterstorm was given the starting job and garnered 45 combined tackles, one forced fumble, and five interceptions, returning one of them for a touchdown. Quarterstorm chose to forgo his final two years at Washington to take his shot at the pros.

DSFL career

2049

Quarterstorm declared for eligibility during the tail end of DSFL's 34th season. Due to the league's rules, he was able to be claimed off waivers by the London Royals. He started the final two games of the season.

2050

In Season 35, Quarterstorm was selected in the first round with the second overall pick by the London Royals. In the first four games of the season, he started at the free safety position and racked up 27 tackles. Although slightly undersized, from Game 5 and on, the coaches decided to slot Quarterstorm at strong safety to take advantage of his tackling ability. He set a personal high in Week 6 when he tallied 12 tackles against the Portland Pythons. By the end of the season, he amassed 86 tackles, good for third best in the Royals' defense. He also managed 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 7 passes defended, and 1 interception. To further expand on his utility, Quarterstorm was given kick returning duties starting on Game 8 of the season. In the stretch of the final seven games, he had a respectable kickoff return average of 23.6 yards and a good punt return average of 10.0 yards.

2051

In the 2051 ISFL Draft, Quarterstorm was taken at Pick 11 by the Chicago Butchers. Both Quarterstorm and the Butchers agreed that he would continue playing in the DSFL for one more season to further hone his skills. With his third-level partner Aleksandr Milescu also returning, Quarterstorm stayed at the Strong Safety position. In this season, Quarterstorm actually got fewer tackles compared to Season 35. This could be attributed to the further development of the Royals' two star linebackers, Ignatius Reilly and Emerson Quinn. With the players at the second level covering more ground, Quarterstorm was able to more often sit back and react to the play happening in front of him. His stats reflect this with 10 passes defended and 1 interception. He also had a 56.47% catch rate against, the lowest among all safeties in the league. Although his total tackles dipped to 51, he still managed to tally 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. On special teams, he was a kick and punt returner for the first two weeks, but relinquished the role to one of the rookies who had a knack for the job. On a positive note for special teams, though, in Week 11 against the Bondi Beach Buccaneers, Quarterstorm earned a rare stat by blocking a punt.

ISFL career

2052

In Season 37, Quarterstorm received the call-up from the Chicago Butchers. He continued to play at the Strong Safety position, with Tessie Garciaparra shifting over to Free Safety and Dee Walt playing a more of a roaming role, lining up at different spots depending on the defensive formation. In the first three games of the season, Quarterstorm appeared to be overwhelmed, often getting caught out of position by opposing offenses. He may have been a factor in the Butchers' 0-3 start. Something must have clicked thereafter because the team then rattled off a three-game winning streak, and then another five-game winning streak. Despite the early woes, Quarterstorm and the Butchers managed to sneak into the playoffs due to a late-game collapse by the Philadelphia Liberty in their game against the Yellowknife Wraiths. Quarterstorm finished his inaugural season with 64 tackles, 4 sacks, 8 PDs, and 1 INT. In the playoffs, the Butchers made an early exit, getting ousted by the Wraiths in the Wildcard Round with a 26-36 loss. Quarterstorm was all over the field in that game, tallying 7 tackles.
