The Luzern Lions from Lucerne, Switzerland, are looking to rebound from a dismal 2018 season and have added a big piece to the puzzle with the signing of Brad Jones as their new quarterback.
The 26 year old Jones, 6’3″, 190 lbs, is a native of Utica, New York and played at St. John Fisher College (NCAA Div. III). He spent the season this past year playing quarterback for the Warsaw Sharks of Poland’s Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego (LFA) where he threw for 2,194 yards and 25 touchdowns in eight games, leading the team to the wild card playoffs. In the playoff-clinching 33-26 victory over the Wyszkow Rhinos, he threw for 324 yards and five touchdowns.
Prior to arriving in Poland, Jones spent the 2015/16 season studying and playing football at Durham University in Durham, England. While earning his Masters Degree in Education, he played quarterback and served as offensive coordinator helping the team reach the national British university semifinals.
