On the heels of two wins in the Danish National League and another two wins in the Northern European Football League, the Towers have signed QB Randy Schroeder from the USA.
The Towers are very excited about the elite team this season. It’s a team that is undefeated through four games. It’s a team with a very talented roster.
Still, the coaches are constantly looking for ways to put the team in an even better position to win games. Particularly the international games in the NEFL. This has led to the signing of 23-year old quarterback Randall ‘Randy’ Schroeder.

Schroeder is from North Carolina and played college football at Truman State University and Ave Maria University. He is second all-time in passing yards and completions in Ave Maria University history.
Having just finished college, Schroeder naturally gave considerable thought to what would happen next:
“Towards the end of my college career I started thinking about what was next. Playing overseas seemed like a great opportunity to continue playing, meet great people, and win games.”
During the scouting process, the Towers coaches noticed that Schroeder has an ability to consistently hit his targets in the middle of the field. This plays well into the Towers’ offensive strengths, especially the big tight ends and wide receivers. With an exceptional offensive line and an already prolific running game, the ability to fully open up the passing game was a priority for head coach Peter Herbild.
“Randy is a very smart player, who will be able to make the right decision before and after the snap and deliver on all types of passes”, coach Herbild explains.
The decision to make a roster move at the QB position goes back to last fall. It had become apparent that, in order to win against the best European teams you need to put a lot of points on the board.
“And that is possible only with both a strong passing and rushing attack”, coach Herbild adds.
When the Towers contacted Schroeder, the decision to accept the offer was not difficult:
“The Towers have a great organization. They win a lot of games, have a great coaching staff, have great people in the organization, and have exceptional players. Additionally, they play in one of the best cities in the world.”
