Munich Ravens strengthen defensive line
Felix Pahl

The Munich Ravens have added another powerful piece to their defense with the signing of German defensive lineman Joseph Appiah Darkwa. Standing at 196 cm and weighing 125 kg, Appiah Darkwa brings both size and experience to the Ravens’ front.
The 25-year-old homegrown player has signed a one-year contract and will play an important role in building a strong and physical defensive line for the 2025 season.
College experience in the U.S.
Appiah Darkwa’s journey to the Munich Ravens includes years of development at top college football programs in the United States. After starting his football career with the Assindia Cardinals and Düsseldorf Panthers in Germany, he moved to the U.S. and joined Penn State University from 2019 to 2021. He later transferred to Temple University, where he gained valuable playing time and recorded his first career sack. In 2024, he spent time at Campbell University.
His academic achievements are just as impressive as his athletic ones. He was named to multiple All-Academic Teams, including the American Conference and Big Ten, and was inducted into the National College Athlete Honor Society, Chi Alpha Sigma.
With his strong background, both on and off the field, Joseph Appiah Darkwa is expected to be a key contributor for the Munich Ravens defense in the upcoming season.
