Raphael Madia d'Alcott (born May 31st, 2016) is an American football wide receiver. He played college football for Ohio State University (OSU). After three years of playing College football for Ohio State and claiming a Rose bowl ring over the Texas Longhorns, d'Alcott is now preparing to enter the DSFL draft for the 2037 season.

Early years

A native of Corpus Christi, Delacour attended Calallen High School, where his natural speed and soft hands had his coach, Richard Montez put him at Wide Receiver.d'Alcott would go on to set school records for receptions and receiving yards. In all but his sophomore year, Calallen High School would win state championships with d'Alcott lead the charge on offense; his best season was his senior season where Raphael would claim 72 receiving touchdowns. Rivals.com listed d'Alcott as a four-star football recruit in 2034, questioning whether or not d'Alcott's numbers were inflated somewhat due to lack of competition and also having questions about his size.

While living in Corpus Christi, d'Alcott was raised by his mother and father as the youngest of 7 siblings, 5 boys and 2 girls. It was playing sports with his older siblings that encouraged Raphael to pursue football as a goal. The d'Alcott's were a tight nit family that were devout Christians. Their influence could be seen in Raphael's avoidance of alcohol and diligent study habits throughout his college career.

College career

d'Alcott wanted to attend the University of Texas because of his strong connections with the Longhorns. He wanted to play in Texas memorial stadium where he had first watched a football game. However, when the scholarship offer didn't arrive, he accepted an athletic scholarship to attend Ohio State University, where he played for coach Ryan Day' Ohio State Buckeyes football team from 2034 to 2037.

As a true freshman in 2034, d'Alcott beat out 3 senior wide receivers to get the starting role in Ryan Day's offense. He would make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes, becoming the favourite target of Sophomore QB Chris Lawson. Raphael would start all 13 games, leading Ohio State to an 11-1 and record and winning the Peach Bowl vs Auburn. During this year, Raphael would become only the 6th Buckeye Wide Receiver to eclipse 1000 receiving yards in a season. From these performances, he quickly earned the nickname "Angel", not only from his name but his ability to produce miraculous catches when the team need touchdowns.

His Sophomore season was once again strong but Lawson suffered an injury part way through and the Buckeyes would finish a disappointing 7-5 on the season, winning the Hawaii Bowl against Hawaii in convincing fashion. Raphael maintained strong performances throughout the year but didn't not reach 1000 receiving yards again, finishing strong with 21 touchdowns on the year.

In his junior year of college, d'Alcott maintained the same level of performance, picking up another 21 touchdowns and a third 900 yard campaign. This junior season, however, featured the most important game of d'Alcott's life. The Buckeyes were in the National title game (The Rose Bowl) against the University of Texas Longhorns, the team that had snubbed Raphael as he graduated high school. It was a game that Raphael was determined to win so he put on what many believed was his best performance as a Buckeye. A four touchdown game including an incredible 90 yard Touchdown run to win the game with twelve seconds left on the clock. After this game, Raphael declared that he would be forgoing his final year of college to participate in the 2037 draft
