Spanish linebacker Jackson Obolela Vargas signs with the Alpine Rams

The Alpine Rams continue to build their roster for their first season in franchise history. With the signing of Spanish linebacker Jackson Obolela Vargas, the Swiss franchise adds a strong player to its linebacker group.

Experience in European football

Vargas played the past two seasons in the European League of Football, where he suited up for the Prague Lions and the Paris Musketeers. During that time, he gained valuable experience at a high level of competition.

Strong defensive production

In two seasons, Vargas appeared in 16 games and recorded 57 tackles, five sacks, and 10 tackles for loss. He also made an impact in coverage, recording an interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Adding strength to the defense

With his physical playing style and ability to make plays all over the field, Vargas is expected to strengthen the Rams defense and bring energy to the linebacker unit.

The signing is another step in building a competitive roster as the Alpine Rams prepare for their debut season in the American Football League Europe.
