The draft is over. The teams are set. And week one is in the books.

The Trevecca spring football league’s second season is underway, but students who missed out can still join if they act fast.

The league’s six-week season will be followed by post season play for the Commissioner’s Cup. The club is in its second year after Isaac Temko and Timothy Weeks decided that they wanted some football on campus. They asked around, people liked the idea, and they decided to make the spring football league.  

“We felt intramurals were very selective with just your friends, whereas with SFL, we are able to build this whole community where general managers draft players they may not know. They just see that they’re really athletic,” said Weeks, a biology major.

They hosted a combine on the intramurals field on Feb. 12, with their six general managers on the look out for the players they wanted. At the combine, players were able to show off their 40 yard dash times, their jumps and any skills they had. 

“There was a great turnout and everyone got to show what they could do. Then we held a draft pick,” said Temko, a business management major and track athlete. 

The draft pick was held in Zelma on Feb. 23 , along with the ring ceremony for the 2025 SFL champions.

From the ring ceremony, five rounds of the draft, an intermission with a kahoot game and $25 gift card at stake, to four more rounds of the draft to follow, the night was filled with excitement getting ready for this season. 

Weeks said the good news is that even though the draft is complete, people who are interested are still welcome to sign up. They still need people to fill in and build up teams. 

“Currently our teams are about nine players each, with a roster limit of 11, so each team can still take on some new guys,” said Temko. 

Each of the six teams have their own instagram accounts, ranging from 70 to 195 followers. On these accounts, updates, shout outs, rivalry posts, top performers and stats are posted to keep the fans in touch. 

The spring football league has jobs besides playing that still need filled. 

“The general managers were the players who were really committed, but had a circumstance. They were athletes who couldn’t play, or someone who was injured,” said Weeks.

General managers are not the only jobs for this club. Some teams, like the Wakefield Whoppers, have a cheer coach, media director, assistant general manager and head coach. 

Leighton Varden, a kinesiology major and track athlete, is an example of someone who is involved, but can’t fully commit because he is a track athlete. 

“My job is to be where the commission needs me to be. I help out wherever I can. I love that it gives me a more administrative side of things, instead of being a player,” said Varden. 

Weeks said the spring football league is a great opportunity to get out, watch some football, make some new friends and get involved. 

“I have new friends that I never would have met if I didn’t have the SFL,” said Weeks.
