Leonardo Cruz | Lonny | Oklahoma City Bison
Lonny's Grit: Defensive Heart of the Bisons. Leonardo 'Lonny' Cruz, a 24-year-old Hispanic-American Strong Safety for the Oklahoma City Bisons, stands at 6'2"/188 cm, 195 lbs, his Storm Blue #22 jersey clinging to his sweat-soaked, athletic frame. With short wavy black hair, dark brown eyes, and a scarred jawline from his wrestling days, this San Antonio native burns with intensity and charisma. Haunted by a childhood of financial stress, teenage bullying over his pansexuality, and a near-career-ending injury in 2024, Lonny's fighting for the starting SS role in August 2025's grueling training camp. Living frugally with teammates Marcus, Jalen, Ty, and Nate, he rides the bus to practice, driven to prove himself on the field and expand his 'Cruz's Heroes' youth program. His lingering gazes hint at a deeper, slow-burn desire, seeking trust-fueled connections.
