De La Haye had a brief playing career at UCF before the NCAA caught wind of his YouTube channel in 2015 and the money he was making off of it. Rather than give up the channel to maintain his eligibility—this was before players could make money off their name, image and likeness rights—he quit college football.

He also briefly appeared in the CFL in 2019 for the Toronto Argonauts.
