Venus Powers had her eyes set on the Air Force Academy since her junior year at Reagan High School, where she began the application process and secured the congressional nomination necessary for the Academy. In her freshman year, or as a Fourth-Class Cadet, Powers was behind incumbent kicker Brett Longwise and punter Leon O’Sullivan and rode the bench for the first half of the season. In the sixth game of the year, however, Longwise was injured on a field goal attempt and ruled out for the season with a leg injury, thrusting Powers into the starting kicker role for the Falcons. Even when Longwise came back for his senior year the next season, Powers beat him out for the job and filled the role of kicker for the rest of her starting college tenure. Likewise, when Leon O’Sullivan dropped out of the Academy unexpectedly, Powers tried out punting duties for the first time in her career and secured that position as well. Although she tore her ACL midway through her Second-Class Cadet season, in eerily similar circumstances to that of Longwise, Powers held off challenger Kenna McMaster in her final year of the Academy and received a waiver for the postponement of her service requirements to be allowed to declare for the DSFL Draft.
Transgender lesbian, S15 veteran, and media extraordinaire. Fascists and bigots are welcome to fuck off.
