ELF: Wroclaw Panthers bolster defense with Latvian lineman Laurynas Orlovicius

| American Football | 04/25/2025

The Wroclaw Panthers bolstered their 2025 European League of Football roster with Latvian defensive lineman Laurynas Orlovicius, whose career spans seven teams across five leagues since 2018. His path includes stints with the New Yorker Lions (GFL 2018-2019), Białystok Lowlanders (Poland 2020), The Blues (TSL) and Berlin Rebels (GFL) in 2021, followed by Raiders Tirol (ELF 2022-2023) and Fehérvár Enthroners (ELF 2024).

ELF-proven disruptor
The 28 year old Orlovicius made the most of limited 2024 action with Fehérvár, posting 17 tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, one safety, and two fumble recoveries in just three games. His per-game production (5.7 tackles) mirrors starter efficiency, showcasing his relentless motor.

Key piece for Panthers’ defense
The Panthers, aiming to improve their 2024 record (6-6 in the ELF East), value Orlovicius’ playoff experience from Raiders Tirol and adaptability across schemes. His ability to clog run lanes and pressure quarterbacks adds to a unit that allowed a league-low 1,046 rushing yards last season. This signing underscores Wroclaw’s push to contend in the ELF’s East Conference.
