A person that isn´t really talked about, but deserves being inducted in the Hall of Fame in my opinion is former QB and one year CB Ryan Applehort. After playing for the University of Houston and the San Antonio Marshals in the DSFL, Applehort was picked in round 1 of the 2022 NSFL draft with pick #7 by the Colorado Yetis, where he played from 2022 till 2025. The year after he played for the Baltimore Hawks, before signing for the Yellowknife Wraiths, where Applehort retired in 2030. Although his first season for the Yetis was really bad with 4 TDs and 21 Interceptions and a completion percentage from 47.9 %, he quickly improved the following years and had some great seasons in the NSFL.
In the DSFL he became SFC and DSFL champion and made it to the pro bowl in 2021. In the NSFL he was selected for the pro bowl three times. One of this selections was as CB in his last season, the only season he played in that position. He set some records for the franchises of Colorado and Baltimore in his prime as QB. In his last season he also got in the NSFL record books as player with the most kickoff return yards in a game with 338 and the most pass deflections in a season (33).
Playing both positions on such a high level and having such an impact after switching surely deserves thinking about a future induction.
