Swantavius Stack (born February 2nd, 2039) is an American football Offensive Lineman for the Portland Pythons of the DSFL. He played college football for the University of Washington before being drafted in the 6th round by the Portland Pythons in the Season 46 DSFL Draft.

Early years

Swantavius Stack was born in Kirkland, WA to Josephine and Swantavius Jones, a former ISFL cornerback and #1 pick who played in the league for 10 seasons. He is also related to ISFL players Swantavius Payne, Swantavius King and Swantavius Torch.

Like his father, Stack was naturally suited to the offensive line position and his father advised him to avoid being talked into position switching, his one career regret. He was mentored by his 2nd cousin, Payne, in his quest to make it to the ISFL. He followed in their footsteps by attending the University of Washington.

Aside from football, Stack is a keen outdoorsman and owns several acres of wild forest in rural Washington.

College career

Due to his size, Swantavius Stack was an immediate starter in his freshman college year. He excelled from the outset, only allowing one sack in his first two seasons. This regressed slightly in years 3 and 4 which Stack attributed to his focus on experimenting with techniques in an attempt to round out his game rather than sticking to the fundamentals that his size allowed.

Professional career

2061

Swantavius Stack was drafted late in the S46 DSFL draft with scouts giving him an extremely negative grade at the DSFL level. They felt that his ISFL-focused demands would make him nothing more than a stophap for the poor DSFL team that would have to put up with him. As it turned out, it was the Portland Pythons who took a chance on Stack, and he did a solid job all season in not giving up a single sack. However, despite also posting the 5th highest pancake total as a rookie, Stack was unable to help his team earn more than 3 wins all season, consigning Portland to last place in the standings. When pressed about his contribution to the team, Stack was clear that while he appreciated the Pythons taking a chance on him, he had no desire to spend another season in the DSFL, and was wholly focused on the ISFL draft ahead.
