The Berlin Rebels have re-signed one of the premier running backs in Europe, Team France RB Andreas Betza, for the 2021 season.
The 5’8″, 185 pound, 29 year old native of Cameroon, Africa, who grew up in Avignon, France, spent the 2019 season with the Rebels finishing as the fifth leading rusher in the German Football League with 166 carries for 889 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also caught 34 passes for 268 yards and another score. During the playoffs, he rushed for 110 yards.
In 2018, he led the Frankfurt Universe in rushing with 738 yards (10th in the German Football League), helping the team reach the German Bowl. In 2017, Betza led the French league in rushing with 1,211 yards and 21 TDs while playing for the Thonon Black Panthers, and was a key factor in the team’s run to the French championship game. In 2016, he scored six touchdowns in the Serbian championship game, leading his team, the Kragujevac Wild Boars to the Serbian title.
Betza has been a mainstay on the French national team since 2011, missing only a few games in 10 years.
