Early years
"Born in Los Angeles, CA, Juniped was never a very intimidating kid, in fact the kids on the playground used to say he looked like a cuddly bear. So he was never going to find success vs the larger and more intimidating kids. Instead when playing backyard football at school he made it his goal to be the fastest. And so we he, faster than all the other kids on the playground. He never thought much of it in Elementary but when he got to High School he tried out for the team, and while he couldn't catch a ball very well, his coach told him not to worry about it, but just to run. So run he did, faster than everyone else, at least at his High School
In High School he and his family moved to North Carolina where they lived in the Rural mountains. He didn't adjust quite well but joined the High Scool team there. He was a second string RB until his Senior Year where he was able to help his team have their first winning season in 20 years. He Graduated at the top of his class but still never had large aspirations to take his Football Career much further."
College career
Juniped attended College at NCSU where his parents attended, but instead of becoming an engineer like them he majored in Finance. While he was not quite sure about the football team he decided to attend walk on try outs, and to his surprise he made the team as a Freshman. He was in fact super intimidated by all the other players in college, especially the scholarship kids, but he was so intimidated he just ran faster to get away from them. He ran and he ran and he ran, nobody has ever seen anyone who could run as fast as he could at least within a 200 foot radius of the field and on the same team as him. He wasn’t the star, or even the second star but his coach always said he was “a solid contributor”. In his Junior Year he became the starting Runningback and to his surprise began to help his team reach new heights, including a playoff berth they had missed 5 years in a row. He quicly climbed the rankes and started attracting some eyes around his skill. It was raw but workable according to scouts. His senior year he sped up even more, and started to refine his speed and work on his endurance and ability to evade the defenders. He was able to work his way up from being a walk on member to attracting more attention as the draft drew closer.

Professional career
DSFL career
Catfish had a fairly good first year in the DSFL. WIth 1094 yards and 4.8 yards per attempt he was able to help contribute to a very solid Norfolk offense in Season 20 of the DSFL. As well as having the most touchdowns for the team he was effective, yet streaky while teammate Robin Reynolds was much more consistent. With Norfolk he was able to help lead the team to a 6-8 season where they fell to Myrtle Beach in the Conference Championship game. While Norfolk had a losing season, Catfish had one of the more notable performances of the season with a 164 yard game in 16 rushes vs Kansas City in week 8 of the season. In a losing conference championship game he also managed to set the DSFL Playoff record for return yards with 155 vs Myrtle Beach despite the blowout his team suffered. A tough loss but he was able to keep his head up and prepared for the draft. There's not many who can say Catfish under-performed during season 20, but he still aims to make sure he remains a solid contributor to the team and to prove he's not just a one-hit wonder. Despite his high draft position in the NSFL Draft, he opted to remain in the DSFL for another season to better refine his skill and ensure that he had all the fundamentals solid before he started his career in the NSFL. His aim this time around was to help Norfolk get the title, but he would be fine with a winning season too.
