Early years
Reginald Elmsworth Hammerfall, born on January 28 2038, in the gritty city of Stockton, California, emerged from humble beginnings to become a dual-sport sensation.
Family
Raised in the heart of Stockton, Hammerfall was born to a hardworking father who toiled as a steelworker, shaping the city's backbone with the sweat of his brow. His mother, a former investment banker and ring girl in the world of professional wrestling, added a touch of flair and showmanship to the family dynamics. Reginald was not the lone star in the Hammerfall family constellation. He grew up alongside a battalion of nine brothers. The Hammerfall's have a family pedigree in unicycling, baseball, professional eating, athletics, boxing, wrestling, fishing and kabaddi which meant Reggie was brought up in a competitive environment. However, he is the only of his family to try his hand at football.
His older brother "Iron Mike” (born Michael Cecil Hammerfall) was a baseball prodigy with a fastball that struck fear into opposing batters. Iron Mike played two seasons for the Norfolk Tides before retiring early to pursue a career in wrestling. Reginald’s younger brother "Lightning Lance" (born Lancelot Archibald Hammerfall) was a track and field sensation who dominated the 100m and 200m at the Diamond Athletics League before becoming a merchant sailor based out of Douala in Cameroon. Reginald’s twin brother ""Bronze Bobby,"" is also an up-and-coming amateur boxer who has appeared multiple times as a professional wrestler.
In 2059 Reginald describes his childhood as "typical" in an interview with a local radio station SLVK. He went on, "we had Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons.. in the Spring we'd make meat helments. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and my brothers would beat me with reeds - pretty standard really. Toughened me up."
Dual Sports Dominance in High School
In the hallowed halls of Conyers School, Hammerfall’s became dual-sport phenom, effortlessly conquering the wrestling mat with the finesse of a seasoned grappler. His mastery of the football field, however, was where he truly thundered onto the scene, playing both on offence and defence, earning various accolades and championships.
College career
Freshman Season
Hammerfall became Durham Saints' starting running back during his true freshman season. He was named the Newcomer of the Week after rushing 132 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-56 loss against Roehampton University.

He finished the season with 897 rushing yards and nine touchdowns whilst also catching 23 passes for 252 yards and one touchdown.

Dallas Birddogs 2061 Season
Reginald Hammerfall was drafted with the 6th pick of the first round by the Dallas Birddogs.
Gameweek 1 - Dallas Birddogs v Norfolk Seawolves - 37-31 (W)
In his debut game for the Dallas Birddogs in the DSFL, Hammerfall wasted no time making his mark on the gridiron. Facing off against the formidable Norfolk Seawolves, Hammerfall led his team to a hard-fought victory with a final score of 37-31.
Despite facing a staunch Seawolves defense, Hammerfall carried the ball 14 times and churned out 51 yards on the ground and averaged 3.6 yards per carry with a longest rush of 14 yards. Hammerfall found the end zone twice for the Birddogs with his first touchdown and the first score of the game, a downhill 1-yard run, setting the tone. When the game hung in the balance, Hammerfall delivered once again, sealing the victory with a 4-yard touchdown plunge in the game's 4th quarter.
For his outstanding performance, Hammerfall was awarded the offensive game ball.
Gameweek 2 - Portland Pythons v Dallas Birddogs - 17-30 (W)
In a hard-fought battle during the second game of the 2061 DSFL season, Hammerfall carried for 58 yards on 14 attempts against a Portland Pythons defense that was determined to stop the run as both sides struggled to produce any yardage on the ground.
Hammerfall scored another touchdown as the Dallas Birddogs emerged victorious over the Portland Pythons with a final score of 30-17.
Gameweek 3 - Dallas Birddogs v Bondi Beach Buccaneers - 20-43 (L)
In a lopsided matchup during gameweek 3 of the 2061 DSFL season, the Hammerfall found himself on the losing side for the first time in his professional career as the Bondi Beach Buccaneers dominated both in the air and on the ground.
The Birddogs schemed away from the ground game, only putting the ball in Hammerfall's hands four times. The Birddogs' reluctance to utilise Hammerfall proved detrimental, leaving them vulnerable to the Buccaneers' relentless offensive onslaught and Hammerfall with only 27 yards rushing. Hammerfall just about maintained his frustrations on the day: "Put the balls in my hands" he remarked after the game, "if you want to win games you gotta utilise your strongest assets. Me and the guys are onto Kansas."
Gameweek 4 - Dallas Birddogs v Kansas City Coyotes - 19-23 (L)
In another frustrating week for the Dallas Birddogs and Hammerfall the team failed to establish the ground game, instead focusing on a sputtering air raid offense even when leading the game. Hammerfall rushed 37 yards on 15 attempts and the teams only touchdown as the Birddogs posted only 54 rushing yards.
Before storming out of the interview, Hammerfall commented after the game, "Honestly, it's like they've got blinders on! I'm out here ready to run through a brick wall, and they're handin' me the ball like it's a hot potato. Fifteen carries? Come on, man! I know I can do more if they'd just give me the chance to prove it."
Gameweek 5 - Minnesota Grey Ducks v Dallas Birddogs - 24-20 (L)
Reginald accumulated over 100 yards (103) for the first time in his career in a 24-20 loss to the Minnesota Grey Ducks in which he scored another TD and averaged 3.8 yards per carry. The Dallas Birddogs committed to the ground game for the first time this season and it paid dividends with a total of 159 yards rushing - their highest total rushing in a matchup this year. The Birddogs season continues to sputter though as the talent on the roster has so far not been converted to wins on the field.
