Strong senior season at Dickinson

In his senior year at Dickinson College, Friebel became a starter and played an important role in the offense. During the season, he recorded 34 receptions for 464 yards and five touchdowns, contributing key plays and points for his team.

Ready for the next step

After gaining training and game experience at a high level in the United States, Friebel now takes the next step in his career. He joins Rhein Fire with the goal of earning playing time and helping the team’s passing game.

Competition in a strong receiver group

Training and competing alongside experienced and proven players will give Friebel the chance to develop further and improve his game while fighting for his role in the offense.

With Leon Friebel, Rhein Fire add another motivated receiver who is ready to grow and contribute to the team’s success.
