Donald De La Haye, AKA YouTuber 'Deestroying,' Unsure of UFL Return After Neck Injury
August 23, 2024
Donald De La Haye, better known on YouTube as Deestroying, revealed that he's unsure regarding his return to the UFL after his first season in the league came to an end due to a fractured neck.
"I was in camp recently, and we was in a little hotel," De La Haye said during a Wednesday appearance on The Travis Hunter Show (10:00 mark). "I'm like damn, do I really want to be doing this? I'm here all day, seven in the morning to five, six p.m. I could be at the crib chilling right now."
"It was a dope experience, though," he added.
De La Haye spent time with the San Antonio Brahmas as the team's kicker during the 2024 season. He recorded eight kickoffs through two games, averaging 68.3 yards per kick.
The 27-year-old suffered the season-ending neck injury after he made a tackle during a kickoff in a matchup with the Memphis Showboats on April 6.
De La Haye served as a kicker at Central Florida, although his college career came to an end after the NCAA barred him from profiting from his YouTube channel (via TMZ Sports). The channel now has just over six million subscribers.
The UFL will be returning in 2025 following the league's inaugural season, although De La Haye may not come back to the Brahmas.
