Drew Drechsel (or Double D) is an American who made it to SASUKE 27 via tryouts in American Ninja Warrior 3. While in Japan, he made good time through the first half of Stage 1. Then on the Half-Pipe Attack, he landed on the log and tore his ACL and MCL. He attempted to get up the Soritatsu Kabe, but he couldn't put pressure on his leg without causing himself serious pain and was forced to withdraw from the competition for his own health. He was the only American to fail the first stage as the others cleared it.

Drechsel had to wait a month for his leg to heal before surgery, then he sought out a physical therapist named Joyce Shahboz and thanks to several months of intense physical therapy his knee was healed up and Drew was even better than ever.

In American Ninja Warrior 4 Drew returned stronger and finished the Southeast Qualifier in 2nd place behind David Rodriguez. In the regional finals Drew managed to finish the course and managed to earn a spot in the top 15. In the Vegas Finals, Drew did some showboating on the First Stage and avenged his defeat on the Half-Pipe Attack to beat the First Stage, but he misjudged his dismount on Unstable Bridge and spun backwards into the water. At the time, Drew worked at Magic Imports of Gainesville, and ran a gym in Gainesville. 

He came back in American Ninja Warrior 5 and completed the course with the fastest time, defeating David Rodriguez in front of his family and friends. He did it again in the Miami Finals. In the Las Vegas finals, Drew blew through the First Stage, but in the Second Stage, history repeated itself as he failed the Unstable Bridge, when he failed the transition to the second bridge after his right hand didn't position properly.

In American Ninja Warrior 6, he was able to beat the Miami Qualifying course with the fastest time of any of the city qualifiers (44 seconds). In the Miami Finals, he promised to shatter the all-time speed record in a city finals by defeating the whole course in less than two minutes. Shockingly, though, he failed the Downhill Pipe Drop when he couldn't get a firm grasp on the rope.

He will compete in American Ninja Warrior 7.

Drechsel was an American representative in SASUKE 30, and finished Stage 1 with the 3rd fastest time (28.90 seconds remaining). In Stage 2, he beat the Unstable Bridge this time, but almost slipped at the end of the Spider Drop.

In SASUKE 31, he finished First Stage with the second fastest time. In Second Stage, he finished the course. In Stage 3 he was forced to restart as he unknowingly cheated on the Crazy Cliffhanger, by looking at the 4th ledge while jumping. He was disqualified, but was given a chance to retry, this time, he didn't cheat, but failed the transition to the 4th ledge. The Crazy Cliffhanger knocked out 6 of the 8 competitors. Drew confirmed this on his Twitch livestream, where he watched SASUKE 31 live.
