Growing up in Texas with a Welsh-American heritage, Dylan is a 5th generation rugby player. He first started playing rugby in kindergarten with the Austin Huns youth program and followed his older brother to Rock Rugby when he was in middle school.

He made his high school varsity debut in 2024 as a freshman. He played at flyhalf, scoring 15 points, but his 2025 sophomore season was his breakout year. That season he was a points machine, scoring 113 points as a playmaking and deadly goal kicking flyhalf, smashing the Rock Rugby single season points record along the way. He had 10 assists, used his boot and distribution skills to control games tactically, captained the team in one game and won “Back of the Year” at the end of season awards.

Though primarily a flyhalf, he can also play fullback with a big kicking game and a safe pair of hands under the high ball.

He is a cross-sport athlete, having played soccer through middle school, and is currently on the high school varsity football squad (playing quarterback and receiver). He is working hard with his brother in the off-season to improve his tactical awareness, kicking, distribution and running.

He names his favorite rugby player as Dan Carter (former New Zealand fly-half) and best rugby memory kicking a long range penalty goal in the last minute to take his team into the State playoffs.
