As he leans against the fence, he meticulously tapes his fingers like a doctor prepping for surgery.

His game jersey fits like a tuxedo. Cleats tied so they were strangling his ankles. Football tights worn under his pocketless shorts. Each muscle stretched to the limit.

Teddy Dupay, flag-football player.

After a long, arduous summer of allegations and investigations, the former point guard for the University of Florida basketball team took his athletic abilities elsewhere—the Lake Alice athletic field.

Dupay pledged his allegiance to the “Legends” flag football team—a squad comprised predominantly of Tau Epsilon Phi brothers that regularly competes for national championships.

Trading in his Air Jordans for a pair of cleats, the former High School Mr. Basketball is an all-purpose force at wide receiver and cornerback.

“Even if he wasn’t Ted Dupay, it’s still good to have him around,” says quarterback Matt Kobren. “He’s a big joker out here. Anyone that tapes all their fingers up before a flag football game just deserves it. It’s too bad people can’t see him in his football tights.”

With tip-off only minutes away, Dupay showed the same intensity and eagerness to play that made him an icon for the Rowdy Reptiles.

“I am here aren’t I?” says Dupay. “This is the best shit out here.”
