Here are this year’s nominees:
Aron Cruickshank, Wide Receiver - Madrid Bravos
Aron Cruickshank had an incredible debut year in the ELF, breaking the records for most receiving touchdowns, receptions and yards in a single season. Together with quarterback Reid Sinnett, he formed one of the most dangerous duos in the league, often turning short passes into long touchdowns. His speed and precise route running were on another level this season, and his receiver triple crown proves his dominance.

Ben Holmes, Quarterback - Vienna Vikings
Nicknamed #BenVP by the fans, quarterback Ben Holmes once again showed why he is one of the top players in the ELF. After leading the Vikings to last year’s Championship Game, he has now guided them back into the Semi-Finals. Holmes threw for 2,787 yards, 40 touchdowns, and just 5 interceptions this season, while also making plays on the ground and even catching passes in trick plays. His versatility and production make him a strong candidate for Offensive Player of the Year.
Jadrian Clark, Quarterback - Nordic Storm
Jadrian Clark, the 2023 ELF MVP, continues to shine in 2025. Leading the first-year franchise Nordic Storm to a 10-2 record and into the Semi-Finals, he delivered another outstanding campaign. With a 65.08% completion rate, 47 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, and a QBR of 125.10, Clark proved his ability to carry an offense at the highest level. Now, he has the chance to add another individual honor to his career.
Conclusion
Aron Cruickshank, Ben Holmes, and Jadrian Clark - three names that defined offense in the 2025 ELF season. Each of them impressed with big numbers, highlight plays, and leadership for their teams. At the ELF Honors in Stuttgart, one of them will be crowned Offensive Player of the Year, but all three have already proven themselves as true offensive stars of the league.
