Julio Tirtawidjaja was able to dominate in high school and college, despite his late start in the game of american football. Even when he started as a walk-on college football player at Nebraska, he was able to show his talent on the field and rack up stats and achievements quickly. It was a slap in the face when his draft stock dropped significantly in the DSFL draft because he was back home in Indonesia and teams were not able to contact him. Thought to be walking away from football, he responded in time to Luchadores’ then-GMs for them to draft him super late. But being the 3rd running back on the roster, he barely got any playing time with Ed Baker and Richard Gilbert in front of him in the depth chart. Despite his lack of production, Tirtawidjaja was still able to get picked quite high with the Butchers taking him with their second pick of the draft in the 6th round. Determined to prove his doubters wrong, Tirtawidjaja was expecting himself to perform well as the other half of Chicago’s backfield duo alongside Farley Hank. But in reality, the rebuilding team only won one game that season and Tirtawidjaja only racked up yards but touchdowns were hard to come by. His second season with the Butchers was also the same, although he had some great games, he barely cracked 1,000 yards and only scored 4 touchdowns. With the arrival of Baby Yoda in the S24 off-season, Tirtawidjaja once again has to share the backfield and with Yoda being higher in TPE, Tirtawidjaja was slated to be second on the depth chart. Although not dominating like his peers, Tirtawidjaja is slowly improving his performance, at least stats-wise, this season. He’s already broken his season-record for rushing touchdowns and still trying to reach at least 1,000 rushing yards. Whatever it is, his ultimate goal is to help the Butchers win and get back into the playoffs. As someone who has yet to be in a playoff game, both in the DSFL and ISFL, since he entered the league, at the end of the day making the playoffs will be far more important than his personal stats.
