DeDe Kobylarz Singer

DeDe Kobylarz was a standout athlete before joining the Michigan State University Women’s Ultimate; her speed and jumping ability set her apart from the start. Once she learned the game, she became the primary deep target, catching everything. Known for her fearless diving on both offense and defense, DeDe was a game-changer. She was consistently tasked with covering the best deep receivers against top teams; her ability to shut them down was unmatched. After making the deep defensive plays, DeDe would typically sprint full field to catch the next score. When the team’s top handlers graduated and moved on, DeDe stepped into the role of dominant handler. Off the field, DeDe’s vibrant personality energized the Fisheads (formerly MSU Ultimate); she was renowned for her quirky tradition of bringing a fresh fish head and psych factor which teammates “worshiped.” DeDe’s combination of athleticism, dominance, and stature made her a feared and respected player with a legacy of performance and leadership.
