Defensive anchor Noel Swancar remains with the Vikings

Linebacker Noel Swancar will continue chasing tackles for the Vienna Vikings in the upcoming the American Football League Europe season. Despite being only 21 years old, the Austrian defender is already an important part of the team.

Young player, strong impact

Swancar has been with the Vikings for three years and has developed into both a starter and a leader on defense. During those seasons, he played 23 regular season games and recorded 124 tackles, five sacks, and ten tackles for loss. He also added one interception, 15 pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, returning one of them for a touchdown.

His performances underline his importance as a reliable presence in the Vikings defense.

A role model on and off the field

Swancar’s impact goes beyond football. Last season, he received the Man of Honor of the Year award in the European League of Football for his work as an ambassador for a children’s hospice. This recognition highlights his commitment both on the field and in the community.

With Noel Swancar staying on the roster, the Vienna Vikings keep a young defensive leader who continues to grow and set the tone for the team.
