Double import boost for Berlin Thunder

After losing two key offensive playmakers — wide receiver Bryce Goggin and running back Gennadiy Adams — the Berlin Thunder have responded with the signing of two experienced international imports ahead of Week 5.

USC-Alum Samuel Oram-Jones joins backfield

To replace Gennadiy Adams, the Thunder have added Samuel Oram-Jones, a 27-year-old British running back with U.S. college experience. Oram-Jones previously played for Vanderbilt and USC, two prestigious programs in NCAA Division I football. In 2023, he appeared in six games for the Prague Lions, rushing for 153 yards and 2 touchdowns on 34 carries.

Most recently, he played for the All Mitsubishi Lions in Japan’s X-League, continuing to build international experience. Known for his explosiveness and vision, Oram-Jones brings a versatile skill set to the Berlin offense.

Former LA Rams WR Brandon Polk replaces Goggin

Berlin also added Brandon Polk, a dynamic wide receiver who will take over for Bryce Goggin. Polk was signed by the LA Rams in 2020 as an undrafted free agent after a productive college career at Penn State and James Madison University.

Across 56 college games (26 starts), Polk totaled 101 receptions for 1,546 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also contributed as a rusher and kick returner, amassing 2,412 all-purpose yards.

Polk is no stranger to Germany, having played most recently for the Potsdam Royals in the German Football League. His speed, route running, and experience make him a promising addition to Berlin’s receiving corps.

With these signings, the Thunder aim to stay competitive in the North Division and bounce back from recent challenges with new firepower on offense.
