Donald De La Haye, better known as YouTuber Deestroying, made his UFL debut as a placekicker Sunday for the San Antonio Brahmas.
San Antonio Brahmas @XFLBrahmas🦵💥 <a href="">@Deestroying</a> with his first kick of the season <a href="">
UFL @XFL2023"I'm a real football player! Let's go!" <a href="">@Deestroying</a> is loving his first professional football game 💛🤘 <a href="">
De La Haye played college football at UCF but was kicked off the team after the NCAA barred him from profiting from his YouTube channel, which was rising in popularity at the time. His channel now has 5.8 million followers, making him one of the most popular sports content creators in the world.
The Toronto Argonauts of the CFL previously signed De La Haye in 2019, but he never appeared in a regular-season game for the team.
De La Haye beat out former NFL kicker Matt Ammendola for the job with the Brahmas, so him living out his NFL dreams may not be entirely out of the question.
