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.
Season 20
Having recently signed a massive contract with the Outlaws Donut was expected to ramp up his play. He not only delivered on this expectation but he exceeded it. He was able to finish the season with 1258 yards and 10 touchdowns with 63 receptions. This is even more impressive once you consider that he played with a rookie Jay Cue. This put in third for both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. With this breakout season Donut was nominated for Wide Receiver of the Year but finished third in voting behind Rod Tidwell and Ahri Espeeyeeseetee(The eventual winner).
Season 21
Season 21 was a rather unusual season for Donut. Unlike most of the pass catchers in the league, Donut took a step back from his previous season. He was only able to finish the season with 978 yards and 10 touchdowns on 10 touchdowns. One of the more suprising parts of this unnflattering campaign was how he had 2 games with under 30 receiving yards which is very unuasual for a primary wide receiver. On a posotive note, he was one of the best kick returners this season. He finished the season with 1148 kick return yards and 1 return touchdown on 39 returns.
