RePORT

—Tomiwa Oyewo

Tomiwa Oyewo started playing Gridiron (American) Football with Cill Dara Crusaders (Newbridge, Co. Kildare) of the American Football Ireland league before being called up for the Irish Wolfhounds National Team and getting a place on the Allgau Comets of the German Football League, the top National League in Europe. While at the Comets in 2022, Oyewo compiled a statistics output of 7.1 yards per run, 381 rushing yards, 458 receiving yards, and returned four kickoffs for 91 yards. 14

In January 2023, the European League of Football announced the Irish National playmaker had signed with the Munich Ravens, to play in the top league in Europe, and one of the major World leagues outside of North America (along with the Japan X League and Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional México). In his first year at the Ravens, Oyewo produced 1102 rushing yards off 70 attempts (over half of the Ravens total rushing yards), for an average of 6.48 yards per carry, and also 337 receiving yards off 33 catches. Oyewo contributed 90 points to Munich’s 425 total points, off 14 rushing touchdowns and one touchdown reception. 15

As predicted by Ravens’ director of sports operations, Sean Shelton, Oyewo was a big factor in the success of the Munich Ravens offense in the franchise’s first year, with the team posting a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, and Oyewo starting 11 of those games. 16 17
