Just as the 2024 season ended, we began preparations for 2025. Starting in early October, we are unveiling more details and presenting additional reinforcements for the Panthers ahead of their fifth season competing in the European League of Football.
We kicked off the offseason with good news – head coach Craig Kuligowski will remain in charge of the first football team, and the roster will once again be strengthened by an undisputed pillar of our defense and one of the best players in Europe, linebacker AJ Wentland and the "CEO of Returns", Special Teams Player of the Year, Defensive Back Devan Burrell.
In the 2025 season, Greg Studrawa will be responsible for the Panthers' offensive game.
Studrawa is another coach with extensive experience gained over more than 25 years at top schools in the USA – including LSU, Maryland, Ohio State, and Arkansas State.
“We are very excited to have Greg as our offensive coordinator. He was our top choice after the 2024 season, and has an excellent track record of success. He has experience at the highest levels of college football and has worked for and with some of the best offensive coaches around. We consider this a huge boost in our quest for the ELF Championship.” says Head Coach Craig Kuligowski.
The season with the Panthers will not be the coach's first in Europe – in the 2024 season, he represented the Cologne Centurions as an offensive line coach.
