Just saw this, thought I mention this guy, from ASR:
There was a new face out at practice on Wednesday wearing No. 56: walk-on defensive lineman Sven Reiger. Reiger is an exchange student from Germany who took the place of walk-on safety Mario Lodge (out with a concussion) on the 105-man roster.
He's 6'6", 308lbs and 23 years old.
From what I got from a German site, he's from Wiesbaden and played for Wiesbaden Phantoms club team. I'll try to provide more info, most of it is in German. Hope things work out for him.
From one site:
Rieger, 23, receives a football scholarship at the San Diego State University, could play up to four years for the "Aztecs". "We are very pleased for Sven. This great opportunity to play at a top college receives, not everyone. For Sven, it will be a cool experience for our team, it is a bit silly, because we lose one of our best players, "said Phantoms coach Sven-Gloss.
