Breakout performances in Germany and a chance with the Storm
Soulerot began the 2025 season with the Rostock Griffins in GFL2, where he delivered outstanding production.
On just 52 rushing attempts, he recorded an impressive 550 yards and five touchdowns, averaging more than 10 yards per carry. As a receiver, he remained a reliable option as well, catching 10 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns.
His strong performances earned him a chance to step onto the ELF stage, joining the Nordic Storm for the final stretch of the regular season.
Making an impact in the ELF
During his time with the Storm, Soulerot continued to prove his value. In five regular season games, he totaled 157 rushing yards and one touchdown on 39 carries.
He then played an important role in the playoffs, adding 91 rushing yards and another touchdown on 22 postseason carries, showing he could contribute effectively even under high-pressure conditions.
A promising addition to the Bravos backfield
By signing Armand Soulerot, the Madrid Bravos strengthen their offensive depth with a young, dynamic running back who has already shown flashes of elite potential. His speed, versatility, and proven production in two different leagues make him an exciting addition as the Bravos continue to shape their roster for 2026.
With Soulerot on board, Madrid gains a playmaker capable of pushing for a bigger role — and potentially becoming a key figure in their backfield.
