Ryan Applehort (born January 17, 1997) is a American football quarterback for the Colorado Yeti of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for the University of Houston before entering the professional ranks in 2021.

Early years

Ryan Applehort was born in Fort Worth, Texas. He grew up in Fort Worth, with parents Jon Applehort and Cindy Applehort raising him. He attended All Saints High School, in Fort Worth. Before his football career, he played professional baseball with the Houston Astros as a pitcher. After some disappointing performances with the Buies Creek Astros, Applehort decided to focus primarily on furthering his football career.


College career

As a true freshman, Applehort enrolled to the University of Houston after completing his senior year of high school. He backed up fellow quarterbacks Kyle Postma, Kyle Allen, and D'eriq King. In his sophomore season, Applehort earned the starting job, and led Houston to the #23 ranking in the final CFP poll, finishing 11-3. In his junior year, he sustained a injury to his throwing hand and missed 5 games, as the Cougars fell from 8-0 with Applehort in to 8-5. In his senior year, Applehort led the Cougars to a 14-1 record, going undefeated in the regular season, winning the conference championship, which led to them being ranked #4 before the playoffs. Applehort threw for 528 yards as the Cougars cruised to a 41-10 victory over the University of Tennessee, but lost in the championship game 36-33 to the University of Washington. However, Applehort's stellar performances boosted his NFL draft stock, where he was projected to be a mid-round pick, due to some past injury concerns, especially surrounding his throwing arm. However, Applehort decided not to join the NFL, as he was aware of long-term concerns considering his medical health.


College career statistics

Applehort left college with a career total of 12,541 passing yards, 127 passing touchdowns, 25 interceptions, and a total record of 33-4. He set a record for the most passing yards in a single season (6,035), as well as setting Houston Cougars records in most passing touchdowns in a single season (56), and most passing yards in a single game (723).

NSFL S7 Scouting Combine

Applehort declared for the 2021 Draft (S6) right before it happened, and was immediately recognized as one of the most highly touted prospects, as well as Sam Penner and Cole McCoy. The Luchadores selected Sam Penner with the #3 overall pick, and then the Marshals selected Ryan Applehort. Fellow quarterback Cole McCoy fell to the third round, landing with the Portland Pythons. That year, the Marshals finished the regular season 7-6-1, amid quarterback controversy. Both quarterbacks split time, and this eventually led to Applehort demanding a trade out of San Antonio. However, the trade deadline shortly thereafter passed, and no deal was made. Applehort got little playing time for the rest of the season and the playoffs, heightening his frustration in San Antonio. The Marshals eventually won the Ultimini, led by Mike Vick. During the offseason, since Daybe agency's own Jon Gruden was brought in to be Portland's co-GM, Applehort was traded to Portland for a conditional draft pick. Applehort entered the 2022 ISFL Draft (S7) shortly after. Many mock drafts had the Colorado Yeti selecting Applehort with one of their four first-round picks, and after the Yeti traded up to #7, Applehort was selected. It was expected Applehort would spend another season in the DSFL until Nicholas Pierno's motorcycle injury forced Pierno into intensive care. Applehort won the starting job and en route to the Yeti's second consecutive 0-14 season, and Applehort finished last in every single meaningful quarterback stat. In S8, Applehort and the Yeti improved. Applehort threw for 3,565 yards as well as a 13:14 TD/INT ratio as the Yeti surpassed expectations and finished 6-8.

In S9, Applehort led the Yeti to a 8-6 record, finishing second in the division and clinching their first playoff birth since S1. Applehort finished with 4,142 passing yards, a 59.3% completion percentage, and a 27-10 TD/INT ratio. Applehort was a key part in their 34-23 victory in week 13 over the Yellowknife Wraiths, clinching the second playoff spot. He threw for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns. However, the Yeti's magical run fell short in the playoffs, falling to the Baltimore Hawks in the NSFC championship game on a score of 40-34. Still, Applehort was a huge part of the Yeti's success, and set many team records in the process.
