SEMIPRO GAME DAY NAME 2025 MVP

In the heart of Tulsa, a storm was brewing all season long. It wasn’t lightning. It wasn’t thunder. It was Chinn.

Dylan Chinn, the electric wide receiver for the Tulsa Gators, didn’t just arrive on the CMFL scene in 2025—he kicked the damn door in. In just his first year, the 6'3", 205-pound phenom not only shattered expectations—he walked away with both the CMFL Most Valuable Player and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. A double crown rarely seen in league history, and one that solidifies the rise of a new face of the CMFL.

Let’s be clear—this was no fluke.

This was domination.

Built in a Lab. Raised in the Swamp. Feared Across the League.

From Week 1 to the playoff push, Chinn was unguardable. He scored touchdowns in every single game except two—and in one of those, he still found a way to get on the scoreboard via a two-point conversion. With well over 1,000 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns, his stat line reads like a seasoned All-Pro veteran. But this wasn’t year ten—it was year one.

And he did it while constantly being bracketed by double and triple coverage. It didn’t matter. Whether it was a veteran quarterback or a backup slinging it, Chinn made plays. Period.

The Prototype

If you were designing the perfect wideout from scratch, the blueprint would look a lot like Dylan Chinn:

Size? Towering at 6’3”

Speed? Separation for days

Hands? Sticky in traffic, smooth in space

Toughness? Would block a cornerback into next week

Swagger? Enough to fill the whole state of Oklahoma

This isn’t your average rookie. This is the type of player that shifts the energy of a game with one play. A third-and-long turns into six points. A flat route becomes a footrace. A red-zone fade becomes a poster.

The Moment That Sealed It

While the regular season was full of highlight-reel plays, it was Chinn’s playoff performance against the defending champion Joplin Crusaders that cemented his legend. No one had taken down The Cru in the playoffs the last two seasons. No one but the Gators—and Chinn was the dagger. His play elevated the Gators pass the CMFL Boogeyman, something once again, no other team has done in the past two seasons. 

His play sparked belief. His production lifted the Gators to a 7-2 season, a playoff berth, and a win that shook the entire CMFL. Without Dylan Chinn, Tulsa doesn’t make that noise. Without Dylan Chinn, the Gators aren’t contenders.

So today, we celebrate not just a breakout year, but the beginning of what could be a legendary career. From Baby Moss to certified CMFL royalty—Dylan Chinn is your 2025 CMFL Most Valuable Player and Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Congratulations, young man. You earned every yard.
