foreword
Dear football fans,
welcome to today‘s exciting game against the Allgäu Comets and to the NMH kids‘ event. This season,
we‘ve not only grown together, but we‘ve also created an impressive walk-on show for all the football fans.
Together with the „walk-on team“ led by Alex Seyfried and Marcus Haider, we have made the stadium
experience even more unforgettable for all of us.
Our collaboration goes far beyond sports and sponsorship; it embodies the passion and dedication we
all feel for football and our community and should also be seen as a good example. It‘s based on agility,
spontaneity, and innovation – qualities that are both essential in sports and in projects. NMH and the
Razorbacks stand for these values and show that it is possible to achieve the seemingly impossible. As
recently happened in Schwäbisch Hall, turning the game around just before the final whistle and being
able to enjoy and celebrate the rewards of the great work of the entire team led by Coach John Gilligan is
inspiring.
Belief in our vision, which can become reality faster than initially seems possible, meticulous work, and the
courage to lead the way are crucial to our shared success and the joy of „moving forward“ together.
Some of the shared values on which the partnership between NMH and the Razorbacks is based
are:
1. Agility: The ability to respond flexibly and quickly to change.
2. Spontaneity: Openness to spontaneous ideas and decisions that lead to new possibilities.
3. Innovation: Creativity and innovative spirit to develop new concepts and solutions.
4. Commitment: A strong commitment to common goals and the willingness to work hard for success.
5. Cohesion: The belief that teamwork and collaboration are crucial to overcoming challenges and
achieving success.
6. Belief in the vision: The conviction that with perseverance and dedication, great goals can be achieved.
These are precisely the values we wish to see in the world of sports, society, clubs, companies, and the next
generation and we hope to lead by example together. Let‘s continue to tackle things together, create new
things, and take the newer generations along the way with us, thinking about tomorrow today.
Thank you for allowing us and me to be a part of this exciting chapter!

However, their mistakes have forced them into narrow defeats. Whoever keeps
control of the ball today, prevents turnovers and makes few mistakes will have the
better cards for this promising derby. Last year, the ifm Razorbacks secured a clear
46-20 home victory against the Comets in front of around 1,100 spectators. The
defence was particularly strong, with 4.5 sacks from Ben Rashid and an interception
touchdown from Niklas Herrmann.

interview
with Henri Moudilou
Let’s start with the most important question:
Henri, how do you actually pronounce you, “Henri” or “Orie” ?
HENRI: It’s spoken in French, but spelled in German.
Are your parents French, or where does the surname Moudilou come from?
HENRI: My mom is German, and my dad grew up in Congo, a former French colonial power, so my
name is also pronounced French
Where did you grow up, and how did you get into American football and the ifm Razorbacks?
HENRI: I’m from Ankenreute near Weingarten, so in the Ländle region. I got invited to a football
tryout in Ravensburg via Instagram in 2022. I started with the Devo team and then made it straight
into the GFL squad in 2022.
You were injured for a long time, and we didn’t really
see you in action until the home game in Munich.
What happened?
HENRI: Yes, I broke my metacarpal in a hard tackle in the
game against Straubing. My hand had to be operated
on, and I was out for six weeks. I had to play the games
afterward with a special splint, but now I’m finally back
without it.
What are the biggest challenges you face as a player
in the GFL, both on and off the field?
HENRI: Off the field, being a local player is extremely
diffcult and requires excellent time
management.
You work 40 hours. Then you spend more than 10
hours training, plus video analysis and games on the
weekend. You automatically neglect friends, family,
and your partner. Athletically: If you’re injured, it’s
hard not to let it get you down and get back on track.
You work hard the entire offseason and, of course,
always want to play. It’s also diffcult to recognise your
mistakes and turn them into something positive. Even
when things aren’t going well, you have to stay motivated
and focus on the important things. And overall, it
is important to stay fit and continue to develop.
13
Football is a very physical sport. How do you prepare mentally and physically for a game?
HENRI: I pretty much always eat the same thing and hydrate myself. In my first year, I was still very
nervous and everything was very hectic. Now I have my routines, and you calm down over time. In
the offseason, it’s important to train properly and not just mindlessly pump. Smart training,
functional training is key. It simply reduces the risk of injury.
What’s your life like outside of football—work, studies, hobbies?
HENRI: I work as a mechatronics engineer and am responsible for the electronic installation of
measuring systems. In winter, I like to go skiing, play soccer, and ride my motorcycle.
How do you deal with defeats—both personally and within the team context?
HENRI: It always depends on the type of defeat. You can’t compare the loss against Dresden or the
one in Straubing. We can learn from the Dresden game, and it showed us that we can perform
well. The games against Hall and Straubing were avoidable defeats. Careless mistakes and lapses
in concentration were the cause. We needed to address that.
If you could repeat or change one moment in your football career – what would it be and why?
HENRI: Diffcult. But I would honestly say my first GFL appearance. Because the atmosphere was
overwhelming. Also, my Most Improved Player Award.
That was special. It gave me a boost, and it was recognition for all the hard work you put into the
sport.
What are your long-term goals in football – what are you aiming for and/or would you like to
be involved in coaching later on?
HENRI: Phew... Coaching is still a long way off for me. I want to focus on my playing career first.
It’s still in its early stages. But of course, I can imagine passing on my knowledge and experiences
to others in the long term. The next goal is the Southern Championship and the playoffs, and then
we’ll see how far we go
Those are the perfect closing words. Thank you, Henri,
for your time, and I wish you another injury-free season.

interim Summary season 2025
ifm Razorbacks Ravensburg
The 2025 season of the ifm Razorbacks Ravensburg is in full swing, and seven of twelve
games have been completed, providing a good opportunity to pause and take stock..
After a mixed start with a narrow loss to the Straubing Spiders (24:31) and an equally
close game against the
Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns (27:30),
the team showed impressive
development. The win against
the Pforzheim Wilddogs (21:17)
and the dominant game against
the Saarland Hurricanes (45:20)
marked turning points in the season.
The home game against the
Munich Cowboys (48:20) was also
an offensive firework that got the
crowd going..
A particular highlight was the
game against the Dresden Monarchs,
one of the strongest teams
in the league. Despite the 33:49
loss, the team put in a combative
performance that garnered
national recognition. Even more
remarkable was the victory
against the Schwäbisch Hall
Unicorns on July 26th – a historic
moment for the Razorbacks, a
milestone not only in sporting
terms but also emotionally. Never
before had they defeated the undisputed Southern champions for years.
With a record of four wins and three losses, which currently places the Razorbacks in
third place in the Erima GFL South, the team is in the midst of the fight for a playoff
spot and even the Southern championship. The toughest game of the season still lies
ahead with the interconference game against the reigning German champions, the
23
Potsdam Royals, but if the coaches and team
continue to develop like this, anything seems possible this year
A player deep-dive
The season’s top performers are once again the familiar faces from the region. Tim
Müller continues to be one of the best receivers and is already being hailed as one of
the strongest German players at this position in the league. Through his dual role as a
pass receiver and kicker, he has already scored 58 points. But with new additions Aniel
Buße, Aidan Enneking, and Anthony Harris, QB Broghean McGovern has a tough time
choosing where to place his passes.
Lucas Walk consistently applies pressure in the defensive line and, along with Ben
Rashid, Helio Baros Lima, and Samuel Mindham, leaving opposing QBs little time to
pass. Alex Mashak, who ranks among the league’s top five tacklers with 47 tackles, as
well as the injured Henri Moudilou,
Jonah Choate, and Finner Herter, along
with the rest of the defensive line, ensure
that every opponent respects this
defence.
The integration of players from the Devo
team is also bearing fruit. Nils Wullf has
already attracted attention with three
interceptions and recovering the ball at
key moments. Coach Gilligan has also
appointed the most talented youth
players to the GFL roster following the
conclusion of their U19 seasons..
Head Coach John Gilligan has once again
succeeded in building a true team. The
international coaching staff and targeted
personnel changes have created a unit
that motivates each other and
is ready to give their all for victory.
24
The other Razorbacks teams are also performing strongly.
The Devo team, under Jake Suggett, secured the state league championship title
in their final game of the season, thus winning their second consecutive title. In the
youth section, Thorsten Friedrich, Alexander Borgmann, Volkmar Walter, and their
team are succeeding in further structuring the youth program, which has resulted
in second place in the U19 state league.
Overall, it is clear that the ifm Razorbacks’ overall program is continuing to develop, laying
the foundation for a successful GFL team. Last year’s first GFL playoff participation
is not an isolated incident. On the contrary, the
Razorbacks are firmly expected to make it to the playoffs, and that’s far from over.

The Creation of the ifm Razorbacks Ravensburg Walk-On Show
With a blend of technical sophistication, creative passion, and strong team spirit, the
ifm Razorbacks Ravensburg have created a new walk-on show that delights both players
and fans. The idea came from Alexander Seyfried, who coordinated and organized
the team’s walk-on for years. His goal was to make the players’ pre-game appearance
in the GFL 1 more professional and to raise it to a new level, both visually and technically.
“I wanted to professionalize the walk-on and enhance it visually and technically,”
explains Seyfried.
What began as a spontaneous sketch over coffee at Marienplatz on March 12, 2025,
developed into a full-fledged show concept within just four weeks. Together with
Christian Bulander, Managing Director of NMH GmbH and long-time sponsor of the
Razorbacks, and other committed partners, the idea was implemented in record time.
The first prototype was presented on April 13, 2025 – proof of what’s possible with commitment
and a strong network.
The implementation of the run-in show was only possible thanks to the close and
trusting collaboration of everyone involved. In addition to Seyfried and Bulander, Jens
Nassal (model construction), Joachim Kahl (paint), and the NMH technical team also
played a key role. Of particular note are the two Eberharts – impressive figures manufactured
by Modellbau Nassal and finished by Kahl Autolackierungen. They form the
visual centerpiece of the show and symbolize the team’s strength and character.
“The uncomplicated and trusting collaboration was particularly valuable because it
avoided major bureaucratic hurdles,” emphasises Bulander. This project impressively
demonstrates how innovative ideas can become reality through volunteer work and
strong partnerships.
The run-in show has already been used at five home games and is continuously being
developed further. In addition to the technical equipment, it impresses with standardised
scheduling and the unique presentation by Marcus Haider. His voice gives
the show a distinctive atmosphere and contributes significantly to its recognition. The
result is a consistent experience that
captivates the audience and further
motivates the players. For the club, the
new entrance show represents far
more than just a visual highlight. It
strengthens the players’ and fans’
identification with the ifm Razorbacks
and makes the team visible beyond
the region.
31
The initiators see this as a message to society and
politics that change is possible through commitment and
cooperation – especially in a non-bureaucratic way.
Christian Bulander recounts his first encounters with American football and the family
atmosphere at the ifm Razorbacks. “The joy of shared commitment and the family
atmosphere are important factors for the success of the project,” he says. This personal
motivation and the relaxed yet goal-oriented approach characterise the dynamics of
the team and the show.
The realisation of this project was significantly supported by the cooperation of various
partners: Special mention goes to NMH for the technical implementation and transport
on the day of the event, Modellbau Nassal for the design, and Joachim Kahl for the
professional paint job. Their contributions are not only visible in the club’s newsletter
but are also a central part of the success. “The close collaboration with these partners
was the foundation for our success,” Seyfried summarizes.
The project impressively demonstrates how an idea can evolve into a professional and
motivating event – driven by friendship, commitment, and the will to create something
special. “We are proud of what we have achieved together and look forward to the
future,” Seyfried concludes.
