Forozka Duanei (born August 3, 2034) is an American football wide receiver who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks. He played college football for Minnesota (MINN) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Forozka was born on a warm summer day in August if '34 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. He was the youngest of three kids to his parents who were both hard-working, blue- collar people and who always tried to instill in their children the importance of dedication, perseverance, and above all else family.

From a young age, Forozka had a natural talent for sports, but he was always one of the smallest players on his teams. Despite this, he was determined to prove his worth and worked tirelessly to improve his game. He spent countless hours with his dad running drills, practicing footwork, and watching film of all his favorite professionals hoping one day to be amongst their likes.

In middle school, Duanei was a bit discouraged because often times coaches would only see his size and not really give him a shot as they thought he’d just get bodied and not be able to compete at a high level. Despite these misgivings, Forozka didn’t let this discourage him and instead used it as motivation and worked even harder. As high school rolled around, the time spent honing his skills paid off as he earned a spot on the varsity team as a freshman. His high school coach had this to say about the speedster, “I realized that despite being smaller, his speed and heart were unmatched and basically nobody can cover him. That’s just too much talent to not be on this team.

Even with his skills on display for every game of his high school career and setting a couple school records, Duanei was still being overlooked by scouts at the college level. He always had his heart set on at staying in state and playing for Michigan, however, that dream would not come true. "

College career

The im college recruitment process never really went like Forozka would have hoped as he was never offered by either Michigan or Michigan State and he had to set his sights elsewhere. He started to get a few division two offers, however, towards the the end of the recruitment cycle he got his only division one offer from Minnesota.

Duanei really had to weigh the pros and cons of Minnesota as they were a run first school so he knew his opportunities would be limiters, but ultimately he decided to take the offer and see where it went. He was promised all the return duties he wanted and if nothing else he might make enough of a case before entering the transfer portal.

The start of his college career was mostly as a return guy where he did put up some pretty good numbers and even got himself in the running for awards and all-American honors, although, coming up just short for each. His sophomore year was when he really broke out though and became an everywhere type player catching the ball, going on fly sweeps, returning, and even taking some occasional handoffs. He’d start to be recognized as one of the better all-purpose players in the nation and in turn decided to play his entire college career for Minnesota.

Professional career

Season 40

Overall, the 2055 (S40) was a bit of a whirlwind for Duanei. From being drafted to getting acclimated with his new team he had to learn how to take it day by day. It also was a learning curve from the get go as he put on a terrible showing in the prospect showcase tournament and ultimately might have cost him as he didn't get drafted until the tenth round. He was determined to not let where he got drafted dictate where he ended up and from the get go he made an impact for the Portland Pythons. He did still have to make some adjustments though as he was very prone to dropping passes. Despite that he was still being targeted in games and that gave him to confidence to go out there and still do what he knew he was capable of. By the end of the season Duanei had helped Portland secure a playoff bid, and while they didn't end up winning the championship Duanei made his impact felt. He would end the year as Portland's second leading receiver as well as propelling himself into the fourth round of the ISFL draft.

Season 41

Coming into the S41 season, Duanei was looking to not only make a name for himself in the DSFL, but hopefully make a push towards possibly playing into the ISFL. There would be a bit of a shock come his way though as he was informed that his ISFL rights would be traded to the New Orleans Second Line, but that didn't make too much of a difference to him since his focus was on helping Portland win games. He was a little concerned his Portland decided to only roster two wide receivers, but he just knew that that'd mean he would be getting the ball more often. Duanei definitely showed some improved game over his first season as he would be the team's leading receiver averaging six receptions a game and end up as the DSFL's fifth leading receiver in yards with 1230 and get eight touchdowns. The year might have been a little bit of a disappointment for Portland as they finished last in their division, but for Duanei he continued to show he's one of the league's best

Season 42

The S42 season was a bit of a tumultuous one for Forozka as it didn't start off on a good foot since he felt like he should have been up with the ISFL team that he was on rather than the Pythons since basically everyone in his tier in his draft class had already been called up. Nevertheless Duanei went to work and continued to do what he could to better his team. Instead of actually practicing since he pretty much hit his ceiling he would spend time helping coach up the other players where he could. Overall he had basically the same type of season he did last year catching around the same number of balls although his yards per reception dipped a little bit, but he still came away with the same amount of touchdowns and had the fifth longest reception on the year so it was still pretty decent. The team did still end up going 4-10 so they were still pretty bad, but it has now been confirmed that that will indeed be Forozka's last season in Portland
