Jasper "Jazzy" Fontaine (born August 13, 2028) is an American football Safety for the Cape Town Crash of the International Simulation Football League (ISFL).

Early years

Jasper "Jazzy" Olivier Fontaine was born in Houma, Louisiana on August 13th, 2028, the fifth son of chef Dolores (née Mélisœur) and novelist Bélisaire “Bell” Fontaine. He is of French descent on his mother’s side. He was raised in the Houma swamplands, where he was homeschooled alongside his brothers. At the age of fourteen, expressing his desire to pursue the arts, Jasper was permitted a commute to New Orleans where he attended Delafleur Academy.

Although his culinary expertise and flowing prose may well have rivaled that of his parents, Jasper found his greatest success in an unlikely setting—the gridiron. According to his offensive coordinator, Lester Cordreau, Fontaine was able to see the field as a canvas, flowing across its yard-lines like the strokes of a master painter. His finesse helped to lead the Navigators to a 34–5 record during his three seasons as a starter. During this time, he was elected team captain both his junior and senior seasons.

College career

Fontaine chose to play college football at Bayou Southern University. As a freshman in 2046, he recorded 31 receptions for 570 yards and Eight touchdowns. His 18.4 yards per reception average was the best on the team and his receiving yards were a school record for a tight end. He was named The SportPlace All-American, Stadium.com All-American, First Down News South-12, and All-South-12 honorable mention player. He was thrice named the John Mackey National Tight End of the Week. He set the school records for a tight end for single-game, single-season, and career receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Fontaine was named an Affiliated Press third-team All-American and All-South-12 first-team tight end. Fontaine was the 2049 recipient of the John Mackey Award which is presented to the most outstanding tight end in college football, and a unanimous first-team All-American. He won the Fleur de Lis Award at the end of the 2049 season as well, as he helped lead Bayou Southern to the South Twelve title and an 12-1 record. After expending four years of college eligibility, Fontaine decided to enter the Season 35 DSFL Draft.

2050 DSFL Season (S35)

After being drafted in the seventh round of the DSFL Draft, Jasper joined the Norfolk Seawolves, who finished dead last in the DSFL South the season prior. Regardless, Jasper’s first season in the DSFL was nothing short of exciting. Early in the season, it became quite clear that the upstart TE bonded strongly with his team, and they would no doubt make a strong run in the post-season. Fontaine quickly made his way into the receiving line-up, and remained so throughout the season, helping his Norfolk Seawolves finish the regular season with a record of 10-4. They then went on to defeat the South division champions, the Tijuana Luchadores 23-20, to advance to the Ultimini Championship. There, they defeated the Kansas City Coyotes with a score of 23-14, making them DSFL Champions.

Fontaine excelled as both a blocker and a receiver. At the closure of his rookie DSFL season, Fontaine averaged 11.9 yards per carry. Over 34 receptions, this totaled 404 yards. His blocking prowess resulted in 13 pancakes. His hard work also earned him 2 touchdowns.

2051 DSFL Season (S36)

Before the start of the 2051 season, several changers occurred in Fontaine's football career. For starters, the prominent S35 Tight End underwent a position swap. He would now be leading the defense as a Safety. With this new position, Fontaine was then drafted by Liberty. Despite the excitement of being drafted to the ISFL, Fontaine made the difficult decision to remain at Seawolves for one final DSFL season to refine his skills on defense and prepare for the big leagues.

During his second year in the DSFL, Fontaine put up reliable and consistent numbers as a safety. Although the Seawolves suffered from a sluggish offense (due primarily to the massive success and subsequent call-ups of the previous season), Fontaine played a key role in what would become a Defense-oriented team. He started all 14 games for the Norfolk Seawolves. He was able to achieve 61 Tackles, 1 Forced Fumble, 3 Fumble Recoveries, as well as 3 Interceptions. The Seawolves ended their season 5-9.

2052 ISFL Season (S37)

Jasper began his rookie season with the Philadelphia Liberty playing alongside fellow rookie Aleksandr Milescu. Together, they quickly became one of the premier safety duo’s in the league, bolstering an already high caliber defense. Despite their youth, Fontaine and Milescu played with a fervor and excitement normally displayed by much more experienced players. Although the Liberty squad as a whole was in a rebuilding year, you would not think so of the Defense. Jasper’s crew led the league in Sacks, and contended in Points Allowed, placing at fourth in the league.

Fontaine’s personal stats are where he really begins to shine. By the end of the season, he accumulated 62 tackles, 3 Forces Fumbles, 4 Sacks, 5 Interceptions, 10 Pass Deflections, and 1 Defensive touchdown, all in his rookie season. His Week 5 performance against the Sarasota Sailfish was nominated for a Player of the Week award due to his stat accrual of 9 Tackles, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Pass Deflection, 1 Interception, and 1 Defensive Touchdown, all while playing against the defending conference champions.

The Philadelphia Liberty finished their season at record of 9-7, just barely missing the playoffs.

2053 ISFL Season (S38)

Season 38 began with high hopes for Jazzy Fontaine and the Philadelphia Liberty. They had just come off of a season with one of the most dominant defensive performances in recent memory, and they were ready to pave their way to the playoffs for the first time in years. As a cherry on top, Jasper was even nominated as defensive captain of the team. An honor he was proud to take.

Unfortunately, sim gonna sim, and the season took a turn for the worst. The Jazzy and the Liberty finished the season at a subpar record of 7-9, tying several teams for fourth place in the conference, just outside of playoff range. Fontaine finished the season with 73 tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery, 4 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, and 7 Pass Deflections.

Most notable of all, is that this was Jasper Fontaine’s last season playing for the Philadelphia Liberty. Moreso, it was everyone’s last season! At the conclusion of Season 38, the Philadelphia Liberty rebranded to the Cape Town Crash. There, Jazzy looks forward to a fresh beginning with his team.

2054 ISFL Season (S39)

The start of season 39 began with more excitement than usual for Jasper Fontaine and his team. The Philadelphia Liberty were no more. Instead, their team had rebranded and relocated to Cape Town, South Africa, where their mascot would be the Crash (the term for a grouping of rhinoceros). With bright eyes and a positive mental attitude, this team was prepared to pave a new legacy in the league.

To begin the season, Jasper was once again nominated as defensive captain. He began the season with stats that were relatively quiet, but soon began to shine at the heart of the Crash defense. He finished the season with 46 Tackles, 2 Forced Fumbles, 4 Sacks, 5 Interceptions, and 1 Defensive Touchdown. His Week 12 performance against the Sarasota Sailfish was even nominated for Performance of the Week.

Unfortunately, the Crash fell short of their playoff goals, finishing the season with a record of 8-8.

2055 ISFL Season (S40)

Heading into the ISFL’s fortieth season, the Cape Town Crash were optimistic as ever. With the drama of a rebrand now behind them, this team was prepared to prove themselves to the entire world. Yet again, Jasper Fontaine was voted defensive team captain. Alongside offensive captain, American Boot, and new quarterback, Creg Jerrith IV, they intended set out to break their team’s playoff curse.

To the entire league’s surprise, Cape Town was able to succeed in this endeavor. Leading the defense, Jasper finished Season 40 with 64 Tackles, 3 Forced Fumbles, 2 Sacks, 4 Interceptions, and 22 Pass Deflections, as well as 2 Defensive Touchdowns. Furthermore, Jasper earned a spot on special teams as a kick returner, where he ran 697 return yards. By the end of the season, the Crash finished with a record of 10-6, breaking the curse and making the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

2056 ISFL Season (S41)

The forty first season of the ISFL was quite possibly the biggest and most promising season in the entire history of both Philadelphia and Cape Town. Expectations were through the roof, and it was believed that this could finally be the team to bring home a trophy. Jasper Fontaine played a crucial role as one of the most veteran members of this defensive squad. Alongside fellow safety and Booyah Brother, Aleksandr Milescu, this team was determined to etch their name in legend.

To their dismay, the season started out at a shakey 2-2 start, with shocking losses to both Orange County and Chicago. However, the Crash were able to rally, and strung together a 7 game winning streak, finishing out their season on a 10-1 run. Ultimately, they finished the regular season with a 13-3 record, securing the 1 seed in playoffs. In the post-season, Cape Town managed to topple the Sarasota Sailfish, and advanced to the Ultimus for the first time in decades. In this championship, Cape Town shocked the world, triumphing over the Arizona Outlaw powerhouse to secure the Ultimus Trophy.

Throughout this historic season, Jasper Fontaine played a crucial role, accruing 280 Kick Return Yards, 77 tackles, 2 Forced Fumbles, 2 Fumble Recoveries, 4 sacks, 5 Interceptions, and 12 Pass Deflections. These impressive stats secured him a spot on the All Pro Defensive First Team.

2057 ISFL Season (S42)

Returning to the ISFL with an Ultimus trophy in hand, Jasper Fontaine and the Cape Town Crash were prepared to take on the world. All eyes were now on the Crash, and the big question would be whether the status quo of Arizona dominance would remain broken. Jasper Fontaine was now the highest TPE player on the entire defensive roster, as well as the highest TPE safety in the entire league. This would be his time to shine. Unfortunately for the Crash, their 2-0 season start was followed by losses to the Sarasota Sailfish, Baltimore Hawks, and Colorado yeti, all in a row. Though the crash were able to rally with major wins over Honolulu, Baltimore, New York, and Berlin, they just barely managed to scrape by into playoffs with a record of 10-6. With a second seed in the wild card matchup, Cape Town faced off against the Berlin Fire Salamanders. Unfortunately, play-off nerves came to the head and the Crash suffered a tragic loss, bringing their season to an end.

While the Crash as a whole represented one of the most elite defenses in the league, Jasper Fontaine was able to maintain his own impressive stat line. He finished the season with 66 Tackles, 2 Forced Fumbles, 2 Fumble recoveries, 1 Sack, 6 Interceptions, and 18 Pass Deflections. He also starred as the team’s Punt and Kick Off Returner, garnering 550 kick return yards and 146 punt return yards. Although Jazzy’s stats are not yet high enough to earn him a place among the ISFL defensive greats, he is on the right trajectory and may very well have a shot at an interception record.

2058 ISFL Season (S43)

After last season’s disappointing wild card exit from the playoffs, the Cape Town Crash returned in Season 43 with high expectations. They have demonstrated a consistency of performing well and achieving playoffs multiple seasons in a row, but mere consistency was not enough to sate these hungry rhino’s. They wanted another trophy, and they would trample any team who stood in their way. Jasper Fontaine maintained his place as a stalwart leader of the defense, while also remaining the highest TPE safety in the entire league.

Unfortunately, the first game of the season resulted in a loss against arguably the best team of the season, the Baltimore Hawks. The Crash remained optimistic and were then able to string together a series of wins and ultimately finish the regular season with a record of 12-4. From there, Cape Town triumphed over the Colorado Yeti in the NSFL Wild Card Showdown, and moved on to play their great conference adversary once more. The Conference Championship game came down to the wire, but unfortunately the Crash lost to the Hawks by a narrow margin, cutting short their Ultimus Goal. However, this was their third straight season of playoff runs, and the team remains optimistic for the following season.

As an individual contributor, Jasper Fontaine accrued an impressive stat line. 61 Tackles, 3 Sacks, 22 Pass Deflections, and a season-leading 8 Interceptions. As a kick returner, Jasper ran for 227 yards and 43 punt return yards.
