ELF: Vienna Vikings re-sign All-Star DB Benjamin Straight

Veteran homegrown defensive back Benjamin Straight is back in purple for the 2025 season. The All-Star rejoins a Vikings team that nearly had a perfect season going 13-0 before losing in the championship game. For Straight suiting up for the Vikings again in was a easy decision.

“Re-signing with the Vikings this year was a no brainer for me. The fans, my teammates and the coaching staff played a huge part in that decision – but also because there is still some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of. I know that the team we are building this year has the potential to win another championship and I wanted to be a part of that. I can’t wait to get back on the field and play ball. Go Vikings!”
