The Stuttgart Surge’s offensive backfield continues to take shape: Nicolas Khandar has extended his contract for the 2024 season.
The French running back was signed as a reinforcement for the Stuttgart running game over the course of last season (at the beginning of August) and was used in 7 games in the remaining season. He was able to rack up a remarkable 506 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns for the Stuttgart offense. In the game against the Barcelona Dragons in Week 12, he had his longest rushing play of the season with 35 yards.
Khandar, who was born in Paris, would like to remain part of the Stuttgart team:
„We have to finish what we started last year.” – Nicolas Khandar
Khandar won his first championship title in 2012 in the French American football league Championnat Élite de Football Américain with the Spartiates d’Amiens. Six years later he achieved this for the second time with the Flash de la Courneuve, for whom he played from 2018 to 2020. Before joining the Stuttgart Surge in 2023, he played for the Black Panthers Thonon from 2022 to 2023. There he was named “MVP francais” by the French league in the 2022/2023 season and won the Casque de Diamant and thus the French championship for the third time. He also appeared in the 2023 CEFL Bowl with the Black Panthers Thonon.
In the meantime, the running back gained valuable experience in Canadian football: in 2013 he worked for the Cégep de Thetford college team in Quebec and from 2014 to 2017 for the McGill Redbirds at McGill University in Montreal.
