"So many people contributing" - Stuttgart built for success

The Stuttgart Surge finished the regular season in style and now turn their focus to the playoffs. More than just another win, their performance showed what makes them so dangerous: a roster full of experienced players, depth at every position, and the ability to adapt to any situation.

Head coach Jordan Neuman has built a team where no single player carries the weight alone. Instead, contributions come from everywhere - running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, and even from different quarterbacks stepping in when needed.

Many weapons on offense

Few teams in the European League of Football can match Stuttgart’s variety of playmakers. From Louis Geyer and Michael Harley Jr. in the passing game to Kai Hunter and Tomiwa Oyewo on the ground, the Surge have answers for every defensive challenge. Even when key players rest, others step up without the level of play dropping.

As Neuman explained: “Looking at the stats again, I think that’s a few weeks in a row where it’s just so many people contributing. It just shows again how deep we are as a team.”

Defense with experience

The Surge defense adds another layer of confidence. With leaders like Mitch Fettig, Lasse Engel, and Robert Lachmann, Stuttgart has veterans who know how to create turnovers and control games. This balance of experience and young energy makes the unit reliable when the stakes are highest.

The road to Madrid

Next up for Stuttgart are the Madrid Bravos - a rising team in their second ELF season. The Bravos bring one of the league’s most high-powered offenses, capable of scoring quickly and in many different ways. Quarterback play, explosive receivers, and creativity make them a constant threat.

For Stuttgart, this means discipline on defense will be key. Creating turnovers and limiting big plays could decide the outcome. While Madrid offers excitement and firepower, Stuttgart enters the matchup with something equally valuable: stability. Three straight seasons with double-digit wins prove that the Surge are more than just a one-year wonder.

Ready for the challenge

Stuttgart’s roster is built for long playoff runs. With depth on offense, leadership on defense, and a head coach who knows how to win, the Surge head into the postseason as one of the most complete teams in the league.

The battle against Madrid will be fierce, but Stuttgart has every reason to feel ready.
