Galf Wilf (born December 23, 2014) is an American football linebacker for the Arizona Outlaws of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for University at Buffalo (UB) before being drafted by the Arizona Outlaws in the 2035 ISFL Draft (S20). Prior to this, he had been drafted by the Portland Pythons in the 2034 DSFL Draft (S19).

Early years

Galf Wilf was born in Newark, New Jersey to parents Rufus and Regina Wilf. Rufus won 2 tickets in a workplace lottery to attend the 2018 NSFL Ultimus Game between the Arizona Outlaws and Baltimore Hawks. He brought 4-year-old Galf along with him and the game and its atmosphere ignited Galf's love of football. After that experience, Galf practically dedicated his life to the game of football even from such a young age. He absolutely dominated his local region in New Jersey for his first 13 years of life and started attracting the eyes of college and DSFL scouts even before he played a varsity high school game. Central Newark High is not known for pumping out football talent but scouts were there to watch Galf for his entire 4 years on the team, in addition to inviting him all over the country for camps for the best high school players in the country. He earned the starting middle linebacker and quarterback jobs as a freshman and did not relinquish them until his graduation. Galf led his school to 4 straight county championships and a state title in his senior year.

College career

Galf Wilf earned himself a handful of scholarship offers to play D-I college football but eventually settled on attending the University at Buffalo. Despite his dominance and clearly advanced football IQ, his body was still lagging behind. He entered the DSFL and NSFL drafts at 6'5" 255 lbs but he only finished high school at 5'10" 190. There were tons of questions about whether he would be able to handle a heavier workload as a linebacker or quarterback at the next level, but Buffalo was one of the few schools that offered him the chance to try, instead of trying to move him to running back or cornerback. Fortunately for them, Wilf hit a very late growth spurt in the summer after his high school graduation that saw him grow half a foot and add about 20 lbs to his new frame. Wilf played 2 seasons as one of Buffalo's starting linebackers before deciding that the DSFL would be a better use of his time and efforts to make football a paying career for him.

Professional career

DSFL

Wilf was selected as the 2nd overall pick in the 2034 DSFL Draft by the Portland Pythons. He would play out the season putting up solid stats for Portland as he finished the regular season 2nd in tackles, 2nd in forced fumbles, and tied for first in recovered fumbles. The team played to the tune of an 8-6 record, 2nd in their conference, leading them to a playoff matchup against the Minnesota Grey Ducks in Minnesota. The Grey Ducks would hold on for the win in a tightly fought matchup up, eliminating Wilf and the Pythons. After the season, Wilf announced that he would be taking his talents to the NSFL and that he wouldn't be playing another season in the developmental league as his dream of becoming an NSFL player was directly in front of him now. Wilf was also given the DSFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award for his efforts during the regular season.

NSFL

Wilf was selected by the Arizona Outlaws in the 2nd round, 17th overall. Early mocks had him going much higher but due to character concerns and a demand to play in the NSFL as a true rookie, his stock took a tumble and he fell into the back half of the 2nd round. Wilf says that he used the fact that he fell in the draft as motivation to get better and play harder and that playing with a chip on your shoulder is one of the best ways to get the best out of a professional athlete. Wilf had himself a solid rookie campaign for the Outlaws. He finished the season tied for 5th in the league in total tackles while adding in 4 tackles for loss, a strip, 2 sacks, and 2 interceptions, good enough to finish 2nd in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. Entering his second season in the NSFL, Wilf again spoke out about playing with a chip on his shoulder as he felt he was snubbed for the Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl. Again he would finish near the top of the league in total tackles while also adding in 8 sacks, another interception, and 8 pass deflections; however, the team as a whole regressed as management went all-in on their rebuild. Wilf spoke to the media saying that he thought he definitely deserved a Pro Bowl selection this time, but the voters saw otherwise, as he was left off the team again.
