Felix Pahl

The Fehérvár Enthroners continue to build a dominant defensive line for the upcoming season. Their latest signing, Finnish defensive lineman Aleksi Olavou, adds more power and experience to the team’s defense. Olavuo joins a strong group alongside British player Akram Adam and the pass-rushing duo of Malik Crenshaw and Emmit Gooden. He becomes the fourth international player focused on putting pressure on opposing offensive lines.
Olavuo is no stranger to the European League of Football. Last season, he played for the Berlin Thunder, where he made an impact in 12 games, recording 27 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and two tackles for loss. Now, he looks to improve those numbers in 2025 as part of the Enthroners’ defense.
Experienced and well-decorated player
Before his time in the ELF, Olavou gained valuable experience playing for several teams in both Europe and the United States. He competed for the Helsinki Wolverines and the Berlin Rebels, while also developing his skills at Somerset-Berkley Regional High School, Trinity Pawling Prep, and American International College in the U.S. His performances did not go unnoticed, as he was named captain of Finland’s U17 National Team and earned recognition as an EAC All-Star. In addition, he received the Coach’s Award, was selected for the All-Erickson League Class A NEPSAC Team, and received Honorable Mention for the All-New England Team.
With his strong background and impressive achievements, Aleksi Olavou is expected to play a key role in the Enthroners' defensive strategy. As he enters the 2025 season, fans can look forward to seeing him bring his talent and determination to the field.
