Contents
Early Years
Russet was born in a loamy field under the beautiful sun of Idaho City. He was brushed off and tossed into a quaint basket held by his soon-to-be adoptive mother. Little did she know, she had just harvested the world's first sentient potato. As he grew, his parents, the Tillmans, learned to love their little spud for all his quirks. Once he hit adolescence, they assumed he'd grow round and wide, but to their surprise, he sprouted vertically! Russet was always understanding with the people around him, and they all seemed to accept him in time. At school he was a solid B student and involved in many social groups. Although, the school was pretty small, so there was a lot of crossover in most groups. Russet's primary interest in school was agriculture, and that's what he aimed for when he accepted a full-ride scholarship to CSI. He hoped to learn more about the origins of his kind.
College Career
After his high school graduation, Russet began his journey as a CSI Golden Eagle. While he studied for his Associates in Agricultural Science, he had joined the rodeo team to keep his body active as well as his mind. He wasn't the best at riding the steer, but he did catch on quickly as a wrangler. He was light on his feet and had incredible burst and directional change ability, especially for a potato. This eventually caught the eyes of a local rec league football coach. He approached Russet to be the star on the football team that he was starting for the college. Russet agreed and ended up playing both sides of the ball for a couple seasons. He was at his best in coverage, and in his final year, grew into a fierce threat. ISFL scouts took notice after some clips went viral of him catching multiple picks in a few games. With his associates degree in hand, Russet is now ready to put himself out there for the ISFL and see where things can take him. If things don't work out, maybe he could become a field manager for one of the teams!

DSFL Career
Russet declared for the DSFL draft as the first ever potato the league had ever seen. He wasn't sure how he would be received, if at all, but soon enough, scouts for some of the franchises reached out. After a few exciting calls, the starchy wonder was ecstatic to see what would happen in the draft. It didn't take much time for the draft to sneak up. On the night, Russet was with his family in Idaho when he got the call. The Kansas City Coyotes were taking him with the 4th overall selection in the draft. Elation quickly turned to determination, as he knew he had so much more work to put in to prove himself.
And work he did! Buster dove right into the squad and showed them exactly what they had signed up for. There was a bit of an adjustment in game speed that he needed to figure out, but Russet was still able to put together an incredible season of highs and some lows. The Coyotes' first-round pick put together a stellar rookie season that found them squaring off against their bitter rivals in the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the playoffs. They had managed to beat the powerhouse Ducks in both regular season meetings, but they ultimately proved to be too much in the most important matchup.
