Aubrey\u2019s own journey serves as the perfect blueprint for Kane. After being released from USL club Bethlehem Steel in 2018, Aubrey briefly stepped away from professional sports to work as a software engineer before training himself to become a kicker. His path to the Cowboys was unconventional, involving a stint in the experimental USFL before landing his big break in Dallas.<\/p>\n
“Obviously I was drafted in 2017, played one year in the MLS, never made my official debut, played with the the two side, then played a season in the USL,” Aubrey explained. “Played fairly well, but at the end of that season I was ready to be done, so I hung up the boots and started as a software engineer. Did that for three years. The whole time I was doing that, I was training to be a kicker. So it felt like for a while, you know, I had the ability if given the opportunity, but for a while it felt like that opportunity was never going to come. Luckily, the US likes to experiment a lot in sports and we had a experimental league, the USL pop up. Kind of a second tier, USFL, second tier football and I got a shot there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aubrey\u2019s own journey serves as the perfect blueprint for Kane.
