Saba Donut (born March 24, 2010) is an American football wide receiver of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He played a 3 seasons of college football at the University of Oregon before becoming eligible and entering the Season 16 DSFL draft in which he was selected 4th Overall by the Portland Pythons. In his rookie season, he didn't put up the best numbers due to being that backup to Hugh Mongo. He then entered the Season 17 NSFL draft in which he was selected 9th by the Arizona Outlaws. Donut chose to remain in the DSFL for an additional season so he returned to the Pythons. In the following season he put up very impressive numbers which lead to him being 2nd in Wide Receiver of the Year voting behind Dexter Banks. After the season ended Donut decided to join the Outlaws once and for all in Season 18. Although he didn't put up the best numbers due to playing behind Vinny Valentine and Kazmir Oles, he still had a good rookie season and finished 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting behind Marcella Toriki. The following season was one where he "broke out" in a sense. His numbers improved a decent bit and he also played a more vital role in the Outlaw's passing game. This breakout season landed him 3rd in Breakout Player of the Year voting. Going into the off season Donut's contract was over thus he entered free agency. Too many team's dismay, he decided to resign with the Arizona Outlaws.

DSFL

Season 17

Donut began Season 17 as the 3rd string Receiver on the Pythons(Behind Mongo and Strike). However, he put in everything he could each game in order to try to move up the depth chart. One of his better games came in week 11 against Norfolk where he put up 91 yards on 5 receptions. His coaches noticed how much effort he put into every game and decided to bump him up a spot in the depth chart to the 2nd string Wide Receiver. His numbers increased and he finished the season with a respectable 566 yards and 5 touchdowns on 45 receptions.

Season 18

After being drafted to the Arizona Outlaws and electing to staying in the DSFL for 1 more season Donut was the clear 1st string Receiver for the Pythons. He was able to supply rookie quarterback Jay Cue with a reliable Receiver he could depends on. His stats drastically increased from last season as he was given more opportunities to succeed. One of Donut's best games was in week 13 against the Tijuana Luchadores where he was able to get 121 yards and a touchdown on 7 catches. Overall, he had a very good season in which he lead the DSFL in Receiving Yards. However, he still was runner up to Dexter Banks in Wide Receiver of the Year voting.

NSFL

Season 18

This was Donut's first season in the NSFL so he wanted to start it off with a bang. Although he was the 4th String Wide Receiver(Behind Valentine, Oles, and Landers) he still knew that he would be able to do a lot with the opportunities he got. Believe it or not, he did very well in his first season with the Outlaws. He finished the season with 742 yards and 8 touchdowns on 51 catches. His 8 touchdowns put him in the top 10 for touchdowns in the league which definitely surprised some people. That being said, he finished second in Rookie of the Year voting behind Marcella Toriki.

Season 19

In Donut's second season with the Outlaws he was bumped up in the depth chart all the way to 2nd String. This was a breakout season in a sense when compared to the previous season. Not to mention that once Oles was traded in the middle of the season and Donut became the 1st String he got even more opportunities to flourish. He finished the season with 993 yards and 8 touchdowns on 71 catches with landed him the 3rd place finish in the Breakout Player of the Year Award.
