BIO

Sem was born in Homburg, Germany. Before discovering American football, he participated in a variety of sports including soccer, swimming, judo, and track and field. His interest in football began after his brother made him watch the Super Bowl, inspiring him to take up the sport himself.

He connected with the NFL Academy through social media, sending Coach Baker his highlight tape from an exchange year in the US. Choosing the Academy as the best place for an international player to develop and pursue a path to Division 1 football, Sem joined to take his game to the next level.

Alongside his studies in physics, math, and psychology, Sem enjoys anime. He draws inspiration from his favorite players, Odell Beckham Jr. and Cam Newton, modeling his game on their skill and determination.
