Any chance of you getting into the XFL ? Or are you better off playing in Germany ? Wish you the best of everything, your story is one of tenacity and determination!
Enjoyed this video Silas,,,and its a shame that your third season in Germany playing America Football,,,the problem is it's the wrong team....but I do understanding the reason you chose MM....sometimes its the position you have and the team has that makes you chose this or that team...I know more or less the reason and I understand your position:) Anyway thanks for showing alittle of Waco again ...enjoy seeing my birth place once awhile in your videos...all the best....
Hi. Great Video. I am a Kiel Baltic Hurricanes Fan myself but i really enjoy your videos. Will you do a little GFL Preview before the season? Would be intresting from a player POV
Thanks for the shout out bro! You surprised the shit out of me with that! It def made my day! Peace and love always and I'll be following your career for many years to come my friend! 💯💪✌️👍👊🙏🙌🤙
Only 2 Americans on the Field? Wow...I get the idea, we have a same rule in soccer like not more than 5 foreigners on the field...i think it could be more in football league, like 3 or 4 Americans.
You really motivated me to watch an American Football match live in a stadium! Maybe I'll see you in Marburg one day. Its 'only' like 3 hours from here so why not! Maybe I'll be watching your match with my exchange student who's coming over to Germany in summer. Thank you for sharing your life and your story with us!
I am from Germany and I am 12 years old I've been playing baseball since I was 5 . The German baseball community is not that known. It is always been my dream to live in America so I'm a little bit jealous of your life and the life of other American people and I always think about what Americans think about Germany so it is so cool that you make those videos and even tell us Germans if you like our country and such. Keep up your good work and good luck with Catlin😀😀☺️
Hey man, I've just found out I live like 100m away from your old home in Frankfurt at the National Library! Still on the lookout for your cactus on the window sill even though it's February right now. Keep it going!
Hey , i had saw your German / Deutsch Video and i was so happy to see someone who speak German ! I'm from Germany xD . I'm 13 years old and my english isn't good . I hope you understand me :D Here is a sentences : Rabbits have long ears . Hasen haben lange Ohren . You can try it , have fun and a nice Day ! Bye
I went from scholarships to homeless, to moving back home and having some really bad depression when I broke down. I'm happy you grew from your crucible. To see I wasn't the only one to make it out alive. I work 2 jobs, one being my own company. Going to build homes for the homeless and make it not only good for the people, but profitable. Capitalism is a tool in which we wield. Might as well do some good shit with it. Perspective wise, at least you don't have to worry about people being around you for money and fame so much. I feel like that type of fame is very isolating outside of your very tight bubble. To see everyone walking around and not being able to say anything... fucking crippling. Especially for a young man trying to find his place in the world. Takes a lot, but I think you will be just fine. Just don't forget where you come from. I made mud pies.... XD
thanks for another great video. since you spend 1/2 of your year in Germany and 1/2 in the states will you keep your apartment in Waco? Will the wife find a job in Germany? Has she started studying German yet?
I watched your Video in which you explained why you couldn't play football anymore and I'm honestly in shock... I had to watch again what you have said because I couldn't believe it. It isn't fair at all... I don't understand this rule, but okay...Otherwise we couldn't watch your videos, right? Glad to see you happily play football again in Germany! Keep on making these amazing videos!
You are awsome and I love watching your videos. A true fact is that I am actually a German exchange student and that i started playing American football her in the US and I fell in love with it. I did not know that there is American football I'm my country. Thank you for that. Viel Glueck fuer dich. (Mein handy ist umgestellt auf Englisch)
I hope American Football catches on in the EU more. its a pity that talanted and nice ppl.(like you) are getting sacked for dumb reasons. I understand that it is hard to get in the NFL, because only a few countrys play it as a main sport. Because of that they need to look into the college players. I feel the need for US scouts to look in other countrys and not only college. And I think they need to rethink the strategy of how to recruit players. But it is the US = never change a running system. One day I am in the US and watching a Super Bowl game with Silas in it! You have so much passion for the sport, you deserve it. Hope i see you one day in (north-west) germany soon. Greetings to you and your wife
So I'm German and I'm gonna be watching my first football game on sunday. It's Lippstadt Eagles against Iserlohn Titans. I live about 1.5 km away from the "stadium" (it isn't really big). Said place once belonged to one of my town's soccer clubs (yes a German town with 70,000 inhabitants has maybe 10 soccer clubs and it's normal), to be precise the best club in town (a classmate plays in one of their teams), and because they are big now they needed a bigger stadium which they built about 100-200m away from where I live. I can always hear whether there is a match going on based on if I hear fans or not. So the local football team (Lippstadt Eagles, they were founded in 2016) got the old place and adapted it for football and this is going to be their first game in the new place. I've heard they're good, they were last season's winners and are in 3rd place right now. In the big soccer leagues, I rarely see a team going up a league and being good after that. I saw a leaflet advertising the game today at school and just thought why not. I'm definately hyped for the game and I'll try understanding how football works.
Silas: before you leave Texas, you ought to head down to Austin and interview Hans Boas at the University of Texas. Dr. Boas, a linguistic and German professor, has made it his mission to record as many speakers of German in the Lone Star State as he can before the last generation of Texas Germans passes away. Up until World War I, German was the main language used in schools, churches and businesses around the hill country between Austin and San Antonio. Dr. Boas has recorded 800 hours of interviews with over 400 German descendants in Texas and archived them at the Texas German Dialect Project. He says the dialect, created from various regional German origins and a mix of English, is one of a kind. Dr. Boas' contact page: sites.la.utexas.edu/hcb/ Source: www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-22490560/german-dialect-in-texas-is-one-of-a-kind-and-dying-out
Hei Silas, as i knew , moritz has signed by the Bengals for this season in NFL ?! (sorry for my English writing, i do it not often ...) Grüße aus Schwäbisch Hall :-)
The "A" on your helmet or uniform does not stand for "American" but for "Ausländer" (Foreigner). Players from other countries of the European Union and from some countries with a less developed football program do not need to wear the "A" though. (BSO §86)
Dude I played FCS in the early 2000s signed up for Europlayers.com for over a decade I traveled to 5 continents played and coached for several teams best move in my LIFE. Most Fun I had playing football ever. Thanks Europlayers
I plan on moving to Germany or netherlands to play football, I've been told that they don't import players to Germany unless they have NCAA stats, especially D1 or D2. I am beyond the age that any college will take me for their football program so I am thinking just go over there and prove myself to the GFL. I don't know the level of competition over there, I see their games on livestream and I know they want D1 and D2 import players, but that doesn't tell me what level they play at. I have so many friends on facebook that play over there that were official import players or are native germans. Watching you, and NALF, and occasionally Connor (little intense for me) has kept my resolve going that Germany as a country is a better fit for me. American still has problems many places with LGBT in american football, and from what i have seen its a non issue in Germany and many european countries.
I was using GFL as a whole not just the top league. Any team in germany would be amazing for me, even I could only get to a Regionaliga team like Landsberg Xpress or Langenfeld Longhorns. Football is football I play semi pro over here in Portland Oregon. Obviously the higher the better, but i've seen more Football heart even in regionaliga than I have in half the guys in my league over here.
Hey dashric! There have been some games between us college teams and European teams. Last year the swarco raiders played a NAIA college and I remember it was pretty even. So I would say that the top teams in Europe play at a high NAIA or maybe even low Div. II level.
How long can you actually do that? I mean you don't want to live 6 months in germany and than go back to the USA... Forever? You obviously want to have a life with your wife now ...how long can you actually do that? Just curious
What I don't get is the thing why you don't get the release (i read in the internet that it's called 'waiver') from Baylor to play for the team from Waxahachie? Why didn't Bayler let you go? Why didn't the NCAA let you go to the NAIA?
But hopefully the Football is going to be bigger and bigger year by year here in germany, that the games are coming on tv etc so it can be a professional sport in europe/germany in the future like icehockey and basketball :)
Looking forward to the 13th of may to see you back in frankfurt even if it's on the other side. Hope you are going the round to pick up your greetings from your fans after the game :)
Yess I was sad that I wasn't able to see you here in Germany but I live near Marburg so that's great maybe I will be able to see you play your next season :)
Hello im german and now you must look what it means in german: Hallo mein name ist Emily und ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn du mich grüßen würdest.Ich mag euern kanal und ich finde die versuche lustig wo ihr versucht deutsch zu reden😂
ukotata I saw videos on his chanel where he said, that his italian grand- or grandgrandfather (I'm not sure) didn't quit his origin citizenship after coming to the US. Due to this, all of his descandants could get an italian passport - and holding the US-citizenship.
As a German i have to say... im a little bit proud and happy to know that i can see you in germany for a 3. season. 😊

Was ist los in the Bundespost?
I wish I could heart this comment!
I am german , and i proud to see you in season 3😍
I wish you luck 😊

METTBRÖTCHEN!!!!!!!!!!

Wait about 10 years and go to ESPN and do a 30 for 30 with your story

I like you very much and i hope i can come to a football game in Germany I´m from north Germany. Hopefully see you soon my friend :D
Only 2 Americans on the Field? Wow...I get the idea, we have a same rule in soccer like not more than 5 foreigners on the field...i think it could be more in football league, like 3 or 4 Americans.
Came over here from Flemlo Raps channel based on your story. You're a phenomenal young man. Glad you landed on your feet. Keep up the great work!
What if you get an European citizenship like Nalf did, do you still have to wear an A on your head?
You really motivated me to watch an American Football match live in a stadium!
Maybe I'll see you in Marburg one day. Its 'only' like 3 hours from here so why not!
Maybe I'll be watching your match with my exchange student who's coming over to Germany in summer.
Thank you for sharing your life and your story with us!
Not everybody in Germany likes or plays 'soccer'. For example i don't :-). American Football is way more interesting.
Silas is pulling a LeBron!!!😂😂 He left the Mercenaries and now is going back!!!😂😂✊️🙌
I am from Germany and I am 12 years old I've been playing baseball since I was 5 . The German baseball community is not that known. It is always been my dream to live in America so I'm a little bit jealous of your life and the life of other American people and I always think about what Americans think about Germany so it is so cool that you make those videos and even tell us Germans if you like our country and such.

Jonas Greune Wow, ich wünschte mein Englisch wäre mit 12 schon so gut gewesen, Respekt!
SamGamgee8012 danke😁🤣
Nun ja, das ist nicht so schwer wenn man A. Talentiert ist, oder B nur ein wenig lernt in der Schule.
Wo spielst du Baseball?:)
Hey man, I've just found out I live like 100m away from your old home in Frankfurt at the National Library! Still on the lookout for your cactus on the window sill even though it's February right now. Keep it going!
Do you think it is possible to Play Soccer as a German in America? Would be interested if the Story could go the other way around ;)
What would be your favourite team to play for in the NFL?
Keep living your dream.(Sorry for the english)
Hey , i had saw your German / Deutsch Video and i was so happy to see someone who speak German ! I'm from Germany xD . I'm 13 years old and my english isn't good . I hope you understand me :D

Dashric you can also play in the GFL ll, it is also a good league and you have the opportunity to play in the GFL the following year.
I was using GFL as a whole not just the top league. Any team in germany would be amazing for me, even I could only get to a Regionaliga team like Landsberg Xpress or Langenfeld Longhorns.

Dashric if you want you can join my team the Aschaffenburg Stallions 👍🏼
wutzgee 123 you have to remember swarco is one of the top team in whole europe..
Is there a reason why you couldn’t play NAIA just wondering? Loving how you pursue your dreams inspiring!
How long can you actually do that? I mean you don't want to live 6 months in germany and than go back to the USA... Forever? You obviously want to have a life with your wife now ...how long can you actually do that? Just curious
So you come back every 6 months in Germany, and while you stay in Texas; also play or just visit family ?
It's cute that you think we have professional football in Germany.
Dude if your back in germany, and maybe are able to get to stuttgart for shopping or somn like that, thene i wanna finaly meet you so baaad
What I don't get is the thing why you don't get the release (i read in the internet that it's called 'waiver') from Baylor to play for the team from Waxahachie? Why didn't Bayler let you go? Why didn't the NCAA let you go to the NAIA?
Hey Silas, I’ve been watching all of your blogs now for 3 years and you always mention that you graduated from Baylor. But what did you major in?
Also which city do you prefer? Marburg or Frankfurt? 😁 just the city Not the team
But hopefully the Football is going to be bigger and bigger year by year here in germany, that the games are coming on tv etc so it can be a professional sport in europe/germany in the future like icehockey and basketball :)
Looking forward to the 13th of may to see you back in frankfurt even if it's on the other side. Hope you are going the round to pick up your greetings from your fans after the game :)
What do you think about the Cologne Crocodiles? i dont know if you know them but they are really good
Keep up the great fight, respect from Sudbury Ont, Canada.
Why you won't play for the Frankfurt Universe again?
Will you come back to Frankfurt or to another city in Germany? Love your videos ☺️
did u ever watched "Concussion" by will smith
How much experience is required for you to be able to play ?
Yess I was sad that I wasn't able to see you here in Germany but I live near Marburg so that's great maybe I will be able to see you play your next season :)
Looking forward to new nice videos of you beeing in Germany, so lets start :)
Great to have you back. Can't wait for your videos.
I‘m so happy for you that you got to play football again cause you’re amazing
Happy for you and your wife - and obviously for Marburg too!
When will you get back to Germany this year?
Have you considered xfl or the new aafl
Dritte😂❤❤
Why do you still represent Baylor after what they did to you
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. 😊
i know its not ment like that but ended up sounds so negative^^
Germany wants you back!
Positive video! Always keep doing worthy content and you can expect to build up fast! Subscribe to our channel then we could subscribe to you!
Hello im german and now you must look what it means in german:

changing name enabled again? :D
❤❤2.😂😂
Komm zurück nach Deutschland. 😊😊😊
What was the food like Silas
See you soon apartment stealer ;)
One thing i didn‘t understand: Why don‘t you go back to Frankfurt instead of going to Malburg?
(I‘m not very much into American Football)
burr trap daddy Because bis wife comes with him and Frankfurt cant offer her a job and stuff
Klaus Maussen And Marburg can?
I think so. I made a video a while back in which he reveals where he'll play next season. He explains it there.
Klaus Maussen Was für ein Video?
Der Videotitel war: FROM COLLEGE FOOTBALL to PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL in GERMANY
Hi can you repeat what NALF did and acquire a citizenship of a europeam country?
ukotata I saw videos on his chanel where he said, that his italian grand- or grandgrandfather (I'm not sure) didn't quit his origin citizenship after coming to the US. Due to this, all of his descandants could get an italian passport - and holding the US-citizenship.
Go, Silas, go! :)
I love you
Nice 👌🏾
