Young talent shines in debut season

In his first European League of Football season, the 21-year-old running back - affectionately known as “Chrisby” - quickly made an impression with his speed, vision, and explosiveness. Over 12 games, Kyei rushed for 847 yards and five touchdowns, becoming one of the league’s most promising young ball carriers.

He also contributed as a receiver, catching 29 passes for 188 yards and one touchdown, proving his versatility and value in both the running and passing game.
