‘Deestroying’ signed with the Brahmas at the end of January. He appeared in two games with the team before the season-ending injury.
De La Haye, who has over 5.8 million subscribers on YouTube, used to be a kicker at the University of Central Florida in 2015-16.
He lost his NCAA eligibility in 2017 after deciding to continue profiting off his YouTube channel. The NCAA did not allow players to profit off their name, image, and likeness at the time.
In 2019, De La Haye signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League but only appeared in two pre-season games.
