Written Option: Reflect on one moment in your player’s career (childhood, college, DSFL, or NSFL) where they faced an important turning point - perhaps a season-ending injury, unexpected trade, position switch, or a difficult decision. How did your player’s reaction change the way that their career has unfolded? What ramifications has their choice or circumstance had on their future or on the league?
Davriel Lavigne just announced his interest and eligibility for the upcoming DSFL draft. Lavigne played his college years in Colorado with the Colorado State University. He came in 4 years ago as a promising safety, being recognised as one of the best safeties in his high school's area. However his first season would prove to be quite a struggle. The transition from high school to college level of football proved to be a bigger gap than he originally assumed it would be and found himself losing out on the free safety starting position and with that also being red shirted. At the end of his first college year Lavigne would end up tearing their acl.
Receiving this injury made Lavigne realise that his dream of becoming a pro could just snap like that. So he took that injury as motivation to push himself to become the best he could once his acl had healed. Lavigne would return for the half way throughout his second year and would go on to become a direct impact for his team.
Lavigne believes that without suffering from his acl injury he might not have had the drive in the end to make the push to become a pro athelete. He is now ready to make his way into the NSFL and tear it up.
