In Memoriam: Drac Hadmust (1978–2024)

The Snworb family mourns the loss of Drac Hadmust, the iconic tight end whose remarkable path from humble beginnings to billionaire investor captured the hearts of teammates and fans alike. Drac, who played for the Snworb from 2003 to 2008, passed away this week at the age of 46, leaving a legacy as multifaceted as the man himself.

Born in Omaha and raised with little more than grit and determination, Drac joined the Snworb after stints with the Omaha Beef and the Rhein Fire. But it was here, in Cleveland, that he carved his place in football history. Drac's connection with quarterback Mitch Ouc was nothing short of legendary. Together, they were a force that left defenses scrambling, with Drac's deft route running and knack for breaking through coverage down the seam making him Mitch's go-to target in crucial moments. His teammates often said he always seemed to know precisely where to be - whether on the field or in life.

But Drac's impact reached far beyond the turf. Off the field, he poured his football earnings into real estate ventures that eventually built him a fortune. An early pioneer in the Omaha market, Drac's investments propelled him to billionaire status. In true Snworb fashion, Drac stayed humble about his wealth, crediting careful preparation for his success. "Always think two downs ahead," was his investment (and football) watchword.

For Drac, football was always a matter of geometry, of positioning and angles. His fascination with topology was well-known to teammates. One recounted how he had used the chalkboard to illustrate a wide receiver's route as if mapping a Möbius strip, explaining how a subtle cut could turn a cornerback inside out. "Every route starts with a good read," he would say—a mantra his teammates carried with them, often to victory.

Drac Hadmust passed away on October 20, 2024 - National Tight End Day. Fittingly, Drac spent his last moments watching football, surrounded by family and a few close friends. His sudden departure, like so many of his greatest plays, left those around him stunned, remembering a man who had once turned the tight end role into something heroic.

In a final act true to his intellectual spirit, Drac left 90 percent of his fortune to ipseological research organizations—a field dedicated to the study of selfhood and identity that Drac had quietly supported for years. Friends and colleagues had long known his fascination with the boundaries of self-perception, a curiosity perhaps sparked by his own journey from humble beginnings to billionaire athlete. Drac believed that ipseology held the keys to understanding the “playbooks of the mind,” as he called them, helping individuals navigate the internal landscapes as skillfully as he once had the football field.

As Cleveland reflects on the life and legacy of Drac Hadmust, we remember a man who saw potential in every fold of life—from Dutch Savib's labyrinthine offense to underappreciated vacant lots in Omaha. Drac's path may have taken him to every corner of the Earth, but the Snworb and the people of Cleveland keep his memory close in their hearts. He is survived by his wife, Calisa, and their three children, who carry forward his spirit and his love for learning the shape of all things.

Drac Hadmust, you will be missed.
