    Undersized: The Kyle Nash Story

    After reading through all the other great story dynasties on here, I have decided to start my own. This story will follow Kyle Nash, who was profiled a few times in my Lions franchise. This will be run in the same universe as my Lions chise and my Belltown dynasty. Unfortunately, I have decided to end the dual careers thread with the Belltown guys in it because it is too much work and its slowing down the Belltown updates. So sit back, grab your popcorn and enjoy!

          OFF: The first few posts will be non-football related to kind of set up the premise of the story.

          August 20th, 2017

          "Kyle! Grab the last box!" my mom said as she was on her way to the car. My dad got a job as the beat writer for the Detroit Lions (I was jealous) and we had to move from our big house in Belltown to a new apartment complex in Detroit. Belltown was nice and quiet with a population of 10,000, and of course you know Detroit. Plus, I had to switch from Belltown High School to Detroit Country Day, one of the best academic and athletic schools in the state. If you thought Belltown was big, Country Day was 10x that.

          I grabbed the last box and put it in the trunk of our SUV. I got in our car, a 2013 Ford Explorer, and put on my seatbelt.

          "Dad, can we listen to 97.1?" I asked my dad, who was driving.

          "That's what I thought you would ask." my dad said as he turned on the radio.

          And just like that, my new life began.

            Sorry about that update being so short, it was just that opening post that will be that short. I don't have time to post the other updates right now, but I will update this tomorrow for sure.

            Also thanks to djp73 for following.

              September 4th, 2017

              "Kyle, wake up! Wake up Kyle!" my mom said to get me up. It was my first day of school at Country Day, and I was really scared. I went downstairs to see my mom made me a sausage and egg sandwich. My dad was eating his as he was getting ready to go.

              "Alright Kyle. I know you're gonna have a great first day. Whatever you do, don't get into any trouble." my dad said.

              "Dad, I don't have any people to get into trouble with." I replied. I was already a bit of an outcast of Belltown, so I knew Country Day would be much worse.

              "Well, see ya." my dad said as he headed out the door.

              After eating, I went to brush my teeth, put on my clothes, and out the door I went.

              I ended up getting my schedule and having English first hour. I had a crappy English teacher last year and I was hoping that didn't happen again.

              "Sit where you want." the teacher said to me in a monotone voice. Just after he said that, I saw a straight up dime in the back of the classroom. She was blonde and short, just my type. However, I wasn't too good with girls, so I sat on the other side of the room from her.

              Soon, the class started to file in. Eventually this kid with spiked up hair sat down next to me. He was about 5'10" and he looked 130 pounds.

              "What's your name? I haven't seen you around here." he asked me.

              "Kyle. Kyle Nash. I transferred from Belltown this past year."

              "Well, I'm Sean. Sean Connors. I'm a junior. And you're..."

              "A junior too."

              "Oh, ok. I see you've been looking across the room."

              "Yeah, do you know who that girl is?"

              "Her name's Ally Dawson. I wouldn't go for her."

              "Why not?"

              "Well, she's a dime, and to be honest, you're a 5."

              "Like a nickel?"

              "No, I mean literally a 5."

              "Like 5 pennies?"

              "No, you tad, a 5! Anyways, Ally's been around."

              "What do you mean?"

              "Well, I mean, she recently broke up with David Kratz, the varsity starting QB here, and she's dated at least 5 other varsity football players."

              "But she's single now, right?"

              "Yeah..."

              "So you're saying there's a chance?"

              "No dude. There's no chance. Just give up now."

              "Alright."

              Me and Sean had 3 other classes together, and we pretty much talked about the hottest girls in the school.

              Maybe going to a new school wouldn't be so bad after all.

              Or would it?

              OFF: I realized I had more time than I thought I did, but this is the last update for today.

                Bud, you need some new inspiration for women in your stories, lol.

                Each of the characters you've mentioned here and in the Lions 'chise have involved Disney Channel in some way haha.

                6x Super Bowl Champion Patriots |Red Sox | Celtics | Bruins |Boston College | USC | NASCAR Young Guns

                OS' biggest game show nut.

                  Well, my sister literally watches Disney Channel 24/7 lol. Plus, although Ally may have the same name as the Disney channel character, she looks nothing like her.

                  But you've got to admit, Disney channel has some hot girls lol

                    "Kyle, wake up!" my mom said. I bounced out of bed and began to walk out my room.

                    "You look enthusiastic." my mom said. "How was your first day?"

                    "Good."

                    "You make any new friends?"

                    "Yeah."

                    "Who?"

                    "This kid named Sean."

                    "You see any cute girls?"

                    "Mom!"

                    "Ok son. Now go and get you some breakfast, your dad's going to take you today."

                    My dad had been leaving super early for the past week, so I was quite surprised that he was taking me.

                    "You ready Kyle?" my dad said, walking out the door.

                    "Yeah." I responded.

                    We went into the car, and then we drove off.

                    "So, how's the team?" I said, ending the silence.

                    "Let's just say...we made progress from last year." my dad replied.

                    "Are we going to the playoffs?"

                    "Nope."

                    "Top 10 Pick?"

                    "Yep."

                    "How does Henderson look?"

                    "Well, he's not a good practice player, so I can't really judge him."

                    "Makes sense."

                    Just then, we pulled up at the school.

                    "Alright son. Have a good day." my dad said as he checked his phone.

                    "You too." I replied as I got out the car.

                    As I walked into my first hour, I saw Ally again. She still looked beautiful. Then, I walked back to my seat, where I saw Sean.

                    "Wassup bro." he said, calm as can be.

                    "What's up?" I replied.

                    "Do you play soccer?" he asked, a question that initially puzzled me.

                    "Yeah, why?" I responded.

                    "I heard the varsity football team has openings at kicker and punter, and tryouts are today."

                    "What time?"

                    "Like 3:30. You coming?"

                    "Yeah, I'm in. Dibs on kicker though!"

                    "That's fine, I wanted punter anyway."

                    I started following football back in 3rd grade, but I didn't actually start playing until 5th grade. There, I was the QB of our flag football team, and we won every game. In 6th grade I played tackle football, where the coach put me on the offensive line. That was the last organized football I had played.

                    But that was about to change.

                      Re: Undersized: The Kyle Nash Story

                      September 5th, 2017 cont.

                      3:15.

                      I was in the stadium parking lot closest to the stadium, waiting for Sean. I had to run home to get my soccer cleats, which were 2 sizes too small. I had grown from 5'4" to 5'7" and my feet had grown from size nine to eleven from the last time I played soccer, which was last year at Belltown. Then, I saw Sean.

                      "Eh, come here bro!" Sean yelled from his car, about 30 yards away.

                      I went to Sean's car to see what was up.

                      "You ready bro?" Sean asked.

                      "Yeah, I guess." I said.

                      "Alright, let's go."

                      We walked into the stadium, onto the field. The stadium looked about 10x bigger and 100x newer than Belltown's. We walked down the left sideline when we saw varsity coach Chris Pratt. He was 45, but he still looked like he was in his late 20's.

                      "Coach, I heard there were tryouts for kicker and punter, but where are they at?" Sean asked very calmly. This kid was like Tom Brady in a 2 minute drive all the time.

                      "Over there." Coach Pratt said in a stern voice as he pointed to the endzone facing the field. There were about 10 other guys besides me and Sean, so there was going to be some stiff competition.

                      Eventually an older looking man came over to us. At first I thought he was trying out, then I realized it was Jason Hanson, the former Lions kicker.

                      "Ok guys. I'm Jason Hanson, the old Lions kicker. Today, I will be evaluating you guy's kicking skills and find out who our kicker and punter will be for this year. Our first game is Friday, so be ready. Let's start with the kickers. If you're trying out for punter, go sit down."

                      I realized literally only 3 people went to the sidelines, including Sean.

                      "This is going to be tougher than I thought." I thought to myself.

                      "Ok, let's start from 20." Jason said, before he pointed at me. "You first." he said.

                      I stepped up to the tee and took a deep breath. I took two steps back, 3 steps left, just like one of my old friends told me. I ran up, kicked it....

                      Money.

                      Only one person missed from 20, then Jason moved things back to 30. I preformed the same routine...

                      Money.

                      This time, two others missed, dwindling the number the people still having a chance down to six.

                      Jason moved it back to 40.

                      Still money.

                      4 left.

                      The longest kick I made before this one was 37, so I was genuinely surprised when it went in. Then, Jason moved it back to 50.

                      Same routine. I was 99% sure I would miss this one. When I kicked it, I didn't feel good about it. The ball went end over end, through the air, hit the bottom crossbar, and....

                      Money.

                      In the end, I was the only person to hit from 50, meaning I won the job. Sean easily won the punting job, meaning we were both on varsity.

                      Jason sent us to Coach Pratt afterwards.

                      "So, we have numbers 1,2,97,88, and 62 available, so which numbers do you guys want?" Coach Pratt said, still quite sternly.

                      "I'll take 2." I said.

                      "I guess I'll take 1." Sean said.

                      "Alright, here are your jerseys. Our first game is Friday against Cass Tech at home at 7:00. Make sure to come to practice tomorrow as well." Coach Pratt said before walking away.

                      "VARSITY PUNTER!" Sean yelled.

                      "VARSITY KICKER!" I replied.

                      I knew this year would be good.
